Description
Badge-adjust photos' or videos' EXIF creation timestamps stored in their metadata, and set their files' filesystem creation and last-modified timestamps accordingly.
Photo Date Adjustator is a third-party utility for Apple macOS that takes photo or video files as input (like JPEG, PNG, GIF, RAW or MOV format files) and extracts the photos' or videos' creation timestamp from the metadata stored within those files. The metadata considered for each file is the corresponding EXIF, TIFF or other related metadata that a digital camera or smartphone stores with each photo or video taken. It then allows you to flexibly adjust the respective timestamp information and change it in each photo's metadata, as well as setting the file system 'creation' – and optionally 'last modification' timestamp – of the respective photo file to match this new media creation timestamp.
Typical use-cases for Photo Date Adjustator is re-adjusting photos' creation timestamps if the camera date was off or no date and time information is at all stored in a photo. You may also want the corresponding photo file's filesystem timestamps to match the point in time when a photo has been originally taken. When copying files between different file systems or up- and downloading them to and from Cloud storage, those filesystem timestamps may be overwritten. This utility helps you to restore the original timestamps from the metadata.
The in-app purchase option does not add any additional capabilities to the already fully functional free-of-charge version, and is solely intended for voluntary donations to support the development and maintenance efforts through the app's author.

– FIX: Finally found a workaround for a strange focus problem with the timestamp input field if it happened to be the first field to receive keyboard focus after the window opened
Ratings and Reviews
Exactly the right tool
This is the perfect tool if you forgot to set the time on your camera or set the time incorrectly or made some mistake with the time zone or ... I'm sure you'll think of something. I sure did.
This program takes a folder (or even a folder of folders) and lets you update the EXIF data times and/or the file system date times with about as little fuss and muss as one can imagine. It has good defaults and good options too. It can adjust in place or make copies. Given the new time for the oldest photo, it automatically adjusts each photo accordingly, so you get about as close to the right times as you are going to get.
All told, well worth the price of some espresso.

Thanks so much for the kind review and feedback! And for the cappuccino :) Best regards, Björn
Does EXACTLY what I need it to do!
I'm desperately trying to restore my Photo Library after some hard disk issues and the backups all have the wrong creation date. This app QUICKLY went into the EXIF data, pulled the correct date out, and applied it to the individual photo files.
Did I mention that it was fast? Like processing 1800 photo and video files in less than a minute?
And donationware? Of course I bought the developer a nice cup of coffee. THANK YOU.

This is why we invented programming
Thank you to the developer, for taking the time to write this program, it is exactly what I needed.
Everyone - This is the easiest way to change the photos date in bulk, so fast, so easy to understand.
If this one doesn't work, try another one but your search will probably stop here.
