Add Date Stamp to Photos

To easily remember a specific event captured with a digital camera, it's helpful to see the exact date and time the photos were taken. A convenient method is to add the date and time directly onto the picture. This way, whether your photos are displayed on a smartphone or in a traditional photo album, the original date stamp will always be visible.

The most convenient way to achieve this is to set your digital camera to date the pictures at the time they are taken, provided the camera has this feature.

This sounds good in theory but there are some drawbacks:

  • The date/time stamp is permanent. Therefore, if you later decide to restore your originals, you can't, as there is no backup copy;
  • The date will not be correctly applied to portrait photos, as many digital cameras do not automatically rotate portrait images before applying the stamp.
  • There are few or no options to customize the stamp's appearance, such as font type, size, color, stroke, shadow, date format, or position in the picture.

The good news is that the original date/time information is recorded by each digital camera in the photo's metadata (the EXIF record) regardless of the format you shot it in (JPG, TIF, or RAW). This means you can add a date stamp to a photo after it has been taken!

So the best solution would be to:

  • Transfer your photos to your computer (Mac or PC);
  • Create a backup copy of your originals;
  • Use photo editing software to automatically add the date to multiple photos at once.
