THE DATE ISN'T ALWAYS THE DATE
When every photo says
“downloaded today.”
A file's creation date can change when you move it. An export can leave important dates in sidecar data. The result: years of photos suddenly grouped together.
Copied or moved photos
Use dates still inside the image to correct file timestamps changed during copying or migration.
Understand file datesPhotos from everywhere
Review dates from camera metadata, filenames, and other available clues in one place.

Before you download.
Visit the FAQCan it fix Apple Photos directly?
No. It repairs exported image files on Windows. It does not access or modify your Apple Photos library.
What if a photo has no date?
The app checks sidecar data, filenames, image timestamp overlays, and chronological context. If no reliable clue exists, you can enter a date manually.
Will moving a photo change its “date taken”?
Usually the embedded capture date is separate from the file's creation date. The app compares them and lets you choose what to repair.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The app is designed to analyze and repair files locally on your Windows PC.
YOUR PHOTO HISTORY, BACK IN ORDER
Make the dates make sense.
Start with a diagnosis. Review the evidence. Repair only what you choose.
