How to edit EXIF tags in photos to change the date?

with 7 comments

ADVERTISEMENTS



A few weeks ago, I took a few snaps of my friends and unfortunately all those photos were tagged with the wrong date. This is because I didn’t set the correct date and time in my camera. Now I needed a tool to edit this EXIF metadata tags in photos to change the date when the photo was taken.

Here’s how I did that:

  • First, download EXIF Date Changer free software from here and install it.
  • Open EXIF Date Changer
  • Specify the folder where the photos are located in the Source Folder field
  • Specify the folder where the corrected photos should be placed in the Output Folder field
  • In the next field, specify the date/time that the EXIF tag of the photo should contain. For instance, if you’ve taken the photo today, and it shows up as if it was taken before five days, you need to edit the fields and specify ’5 days’ in the ‘Correct Time By’ option.
  • Click Go and you’re done.

The photos will now be tagged with the modified date and put in the output folder you specified. You can also use the ‘Options’ tab to specify the naming conventions for the files.
