Set the File Date on Downloaded Photos
Give downloaded or messaged photos a correct file timestamp via a dated ZIP.
Photos you download, or receive over WhatsApp and email, often lose their original date — the file shows today, not when the photo was taken. That breaks sorting by date.
This tool reads each photo's real EXIF date and packs the files into a ZIP whose entries carry that date. When you unzip, the files land with the correct timestamp. The image and its EXIF are left untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Why a ZIP instead of just setting the date?
Browsers aren't allowed to set a file's date on your disk directly for security reasons. A ZIP can store the date per file, so unzipping restores it.
Does this also fix the EXIF date?
No — for that use Change EXIF Date. This tool fixes the file's date on disk.
