Fix Wrong Dates After a Google Photos Export
Repair the 'date taken' on photos downloaded from Google Takeout.
Exporting your library with Google Takeout is notorious for date problems: the real 'date taken' often ends up in a separate JSON file while the JPG itself shows the download date, so everything lands under one wrong day.
If you know the correct date for a batch of photos, this tool writes it straight into their EXIF so any app shows the right date again. It runs in your browser — your exported photos never get re-uploaded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my Takeout photos all dated the same day?
Takeout frequently stores the original date in a sidecar JSON rather than the image, so the JPG's own date defaults to when it was created during export. Writing the date back into the EXIF fixes it.
Can I fix a whole album at once?
Yes — add the batch, set the date, and download them together as a ZIP.
