How it works
File dates and capture dates are not the same
Copying, downloading or editing a photo can change its filesystem date. EXIF may still preserve the original capture time — unless it was removed or rewritten.

Frequently asked questions
Which date is the original photo date?
DateTimeOriginal is usually the strongest EXIF candidate. CreateDate and ModifyDate can provide additional context but may reflect editing or export.
Can the embedded date be wrong?
Yes. Camera clocks can be incorrect, time zones may be missing, and editing software can rewrite timestamps. Treat metadata as evidence, not absolute proof.
Why is there no date in my photo?
Messaging apps, social networks, screenshots and metadata cleaners may remove the original capture date.
Does checking the date change the file?
No. The tool only reads the selected file. You can optionally create a separate clean copy afterward.
Check a photo before you share it
It takes a few seconds and the image never leaves your device.
