How to Date Stamp Photos (Burn the Date In)

Date stamps matter for proof-of-work photos, inspection records, family archives and evidence files. Screenshots of EXIF do not survive reposting, but a burned-in stamp travels with the image forever.

Follow the steps below with the free Date Stamp Photos tool — it runs entirely in your browser, needs no upload, account or watermark, and finishes in about a minute.

Pro tips & common mistakes

  • Keep the stamp small and cornered if the image is client-facing.
  • For legal/insurance sets, stamp the EXIF date — it is harder to dispute than a typed one.
  • Pair with a text stamp for location + date reference photos.

Frequently asked questions

Can it read the date already in the photo?
Yes — the EXIF capture date is used when present; otherwise you pick or use today.
Will this change image size or quality?
No — only the stamp area is recomposited; export stays at full resolution.
Bulk for hundreds of photos?
30 per batch — run batches back to back; there is no daily limit.
