Drag the timestamp on the photo to place it.
This free timestamp editor stamps a date and time onto any picture, the way film and digital cameras used to burn it into the corner. Open a photo and the stamp appears immediately, drag it anywhere on the image, pick the format and size you like, and download at full resolution. The retro camera style recreates the glowing orange seven-segment digits of a 90s film camera, down to its '98 12 31 date imprint; the plain style gives a clean modern label that stays readable on any background.
Whether your photo is a JPEG from a camera, an iPhone HEIC, a PNG or a WebP, the tool reads the actual capture date and time from the picture's own EXIF data and fills the stamp with it. HEIC photos open in Chrome, Edge and Firefox too, not only in Safari. That answers the classic problem of adding a timestamp to photos already taken: the date on the stamp is the date the shutter clicked, not the day you edited the file. When no camera data exists, the file's own date steps in, and either way you can change it freely.
When the picture carries GPS coordinates in its EXIF data, as most phone photos do, a Location option appears next to the date format. It adds a second line under the date: the nearest city, the coordinates, or both. The city comes from a built-in list of major cities, so nothing is looked up online, and it is only named when the photo was taken within about 50 km of one; elsewhere the coordinates tell exactly where the shot was taken. Like the date, the location line is plain text you can edit, so you can write your own place name instead.
The stamp is a plain text field prefilled with the photo's date, so you can type anything for a custom timestamp: another date, past or future, to correct a wrong camera clock, backdate a scanned print to the day it was shot, or label a batch of documentation photos consistently. Seven formats cover day-first, month-first and ISO order, with or without the time, plus the '98 12 31 imprint of a film camera. Drag the stamp to any corner or spot, turn it with the rotate handle, size it with one slider, and pick any color; switching to the retro camera style brings the classic orange and the film camera date with it.
The stamp is drawn onto your original pixels when you download, not onto the on-screen preview. Its position and size are stored as fractions of the image, so what you arranged in the editor lands in exactly the same place at 12 megapixels. PNG keeps everything lossless; JPG and WebP save at high quality with the stamp burned in. A JPG also keeps the photo's own camera data - capture date, camera and lens, GPS position - with the orientation set upright, so photo apps still sort and place it correctly.
The photo, its camera data and the stamped result never leave your device: reading the EXIF date, drawing the stamp and saving the file all happen in your browser. No upload, no signup, no watermark beyond the stamp you chose to add.
To get a date and time on a photo, open it here: the timestamp appears on it immediately, filled with the picture's own capture date when it has one. Drag it where you want it, adjust the format, size and color, and press download. The stamped photo saves at full resolution.
Yes, that is the main use. For photos from a camera or phone - JPEG, HEIC, PNG or WebP - the tool reads the real capture date and time from the photo's EXIF data automatically, so the stamp shows when the picture was actually taken, even years later.
Yes. The stamp is a plain text field prefilled with the photo's date, so you can type any date and time, past or future, or even your own wording. That covers fixing a wrong camera clock, labeling scanned prints with their original date, or any other correction you need.
Two. The retro camera style works like a film camera date stamp generator: glowing orange seven-segment digits in the '98 12 31 layout, the way 90s cameras burned them into the corner. The plain modern style has a subtle dark outline that stays readable on bright and dark photos alike. Both take any color and size.
Open a photo that has GPS data, such as a picture taken on a phone with location turned on. The date appears on it right away; set Location to City, Coordinates or Both and the place is added on a line under the date. Edit either line if you want different wording, then download.
Yes. After a download, open the next picture with the new image button: the timestamp adder keeps your format, style, color and size, puts the stamp back in its corner and fills in that photo's own capture date.
No. The photo is opened in your browser, the EXIF date is read on your device, and the stamped image is saved straight back to it. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
