PhotoTime Doctor

Fix wrong photo & video dates

Only for Mac

$19.99

Mac

One-time purchase - no subscription. Fix wrong photo & video dates, restore locations, re-link Live Photos, and import into Apple Photos with albums. 100% offline. Moved off Google Photos and your dates are a mess? When you export with Google Takeout - or move photos from an SD card, a camera, or an old backup - the real "date taken" often gets lost. Apple Photos then sorts everything by the import date, and your memories land on the wrong day. PhotoTime Doctor fixes that, before you import. Point it at a folder (or your Google Takeout export). It reads the true capture date from every source it can find - embedded EXIF, the QuickTime/MP4 date inside videos, Google Takeout's JSON sidecars, the date in the filename, and the file's own timestamps - then shows you exactly what it will change. You review, then apply in one click. Every original is backed up, so you can undo anytime. WHY PHOTOTIME DOCTOR • See every fix first - a clear before → after table, with the reason and a confidence level for each photo. No black box. • Built for Google Takeout - it understands the JSON sidecars, album folders, split zips, and truncated .json names that trip up other tools. • Fixes photos AND videos - JPEG, HEIC, and .mov/.mp4 get the corrected date written losslessly into the file. No re-encoding, no quality loss. • Locations restored - GPS from Takeout's records is written back into your photos. Your camera's own GPS is never overwritten. • Import into Apple Photos - one click adds everything to your library, recreates albums from your folders, and leaves duplicates behind. • Live Photos re-linked - split HEIC/JPEG + video pairs import as real Live Photos again. • Duplicates found - Takeout's album-folder copies are detected and skipped automatically. • One-click undo - even after you quit. Originals are restored from a backup kept safely on your Mac. • Save copies or fix originals - write date-fixed copies (named by date if you like), extract Motion Photo videos, or repair in place. • Bulk adjust - shift a whole trip by hours or days, fix a wrong timezone, or set a batch to one date. • 100% offline - your photos never leave your Mac. No account, no cloud, no tracking. HOW IT WORKS 1. Drag a folder or Google Takeout export onto the window. 2. Review the proposed dates - sorted, searchable, grouped by album. 3. Click Apply - then import straight into Apple Photos. Undo anytime. FAIR PRICING One price, everything included. Pay once, own it forever - no subscription, no in-app purchases, free updates. Perfect for anyone leaving Google Photos, moving years of photos to a new Mac, or finally organising messy photo folders before they reach Apple Photos.
