How to Add Date Stamp to Photos

Here is what BatchPhoto can do for you:

• Read the original date/time information for every photo, from the embedded meta-data record (the EXIF/IPTC records) no matter if you shot in JPEG, TIFF or RAW formats;
• Correctly imprint the date/time on portrait pics by automatically rotating images before stamping (the Auto Rotate filter);
• Updated Feature: Fully customize the appearance of the stamp by selecting the font type, size, color, transparency, rotation, stroke effect, shadow effect, and even a background bounding-box;
• Updated Feature: Fully customize the date and time format as well as the placement of the stamp. Select from a multitude of preset date formats, custom date separators, and to show the time with or without seconds;
• New Feature: Correct the date/time if it was incorrectly recorded by your digital cameras. It often happens that the digital camera has a wrong date set, and it will add this incorrect date to all the photos taken. With BatchPhoto you can fix it by adding or subtracting from a few seconds up to dozens of years;
• Timestamp all your photos (JPG, TIF or RAW) in one session. One dozen or one thousand photos is the same for BatchPhoto which takes advantage of multi-core processors to greatly improve the processing speed;
• Apply additional edits on your photos in the same session, including: resizing, watermarking, auto rotating, renaming, touching-up, adding special effects, converting to a different image format, and even uploading the processed photos to FTP.

Add a Date Stamp in 3 Easy Steps

BatchPhoto is a user-friendly image editor, that makes it quite simple to add the date and time to your images. The tool is developed around three main steps:

• Step 1 - Add Photos, where you load your images;
• Step 2 - Edit Photos, where you apply the desired edits to your pics;
• Step 3 - Setup, where you choose your final configuration before processing;

Here's how easy it is to date stamp your pictures:

Step 1

Once you've opened BatchPhoto, simply add the pictures you wish to date stamp. You can do this by using drag & drop, by clicking on the Add Photos button or by adding an entire folder or a folder with subfolders:

Step 2

In the second step of the process you get to edit your images as you wish. To insert the date/time, just click on Add Filter > Annotate > Date. Now you can begin customizing your stamp to match your individual preferences.

With BatchPhoto you can choose the preferred date format from multiple options, select from nine preset positions or freely place the stamp where you want, adjust the size and transparency of the text, pick the font style and color or apply special effects like stroke, shadow and bounding-box.

Step 3

In the third step is where you set your final parameters before the batch processing starts. Here you'll find options to select the output format of your photos, as well as their destination (you can save them on a local folder on your computer, upload them via FTP or send them via email).

And that's it. Once everything is set up, all you have to do is hit the Process button. BatchPhoto will then proceed to automatically apply your date stamp to all your pictures.
