Batch EXIF Date Editor
Set the capture date and time on many JPG photos at once — for scanned archives, camera-clock drift, or re-dating a batch before you import it. The rewrite happens in your browser; the photos are never uploaded.

JPG / JPEG only — the date is stored inside the JPEG's EXIF block

What this tool does — and does not do
It rewrites the three EXIF date fields (DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized) in your JPEG files. The pixels are untouched, so there is no re-compression and no quality loss.
✔ Rewrites the capture date
All three date tags are set to the value you pick, so photo managers, Lightroom, Apple Photos and Google Photos all sort by the same date.
✔ Keeps other metadata
Camera model, lens, ISO, GPS and keywords are preserved — only the date fields change.
✔ No re-compression
The JPEG image stream is copied byte for byte, so file size and quality stay exactly the same.
✖ Not a GPS or serial editor
This page changes dates only. To strip metadata entirely, use the EXIF Remover instead.
How to change the date on multiple photos
- Add your JPGs. Drag in as many files as you like — nothing is uploaded, so a large batch is fine.
- Check the current dates. Each file shows the capture date already in its EXIF block, so you can spot the ones that need fixing.
- Pick the new date and time. Both the date and the clock time are written, so you can also correct a camera that was set to the wrong time zone.
- Click Apply & Download. One photo downloads directly; several are packed into a single ZIP. Originals on disk are never modified — you get edited copies named
…-edited.jpg.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which file types are supported?
JPEG only. EXIF dates are a JPEG/TIFF feature — PNG, WebP and GIF files do not carry a capture date, so they are skipped automatically.
Will this reduce image quality?
No. Only the small EXIF header segment is rewritten; the compressed image data is copied unchanged.
Can I set different dates for different photos?
Not in one pass. Set one date for the whole batch, download the results, then run the ones that need a different date a second time.
Does my photo get uploaded?
Never. Everything runs in your browser using a local copy of the piexif library. You can disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded and the tool still works.
How do I undo it?
Save the originals before you overwrite them. This tool downloads edited copies and never touches the files on your disk, so your originals stay intact.
