About Add Timestamp to Image
Overlay custom date and time stamps onto photos using our free timestamp image tool. Choose your timestamp format, customize the appearance, and export the result instantly — all processed locally in your browser with no uploads needed.
What is an Image Timestamp?
An image timestamp is a date and time overlay burned directly onto a photo. Unlike EXIF metadata which can be stripped or ignored, a visible timestamp becomes a permanent part of the image itself — making it useful for documentation, legal records, and proof of when a photo was taken or processed.
Features

- Customize timestamp format, font size, color, and position

Privacy Focused Processing
Images remain private because timestamp rendering occurs entirely inside your browser without uploading files to any external service or server.
EXIF Metadata Detection
When EXIF metadata is present in an uploaded image, the tool can automatically suggest the original photo capture date and time. This is especially useful when adding accurate timestamps to photos taken days, weeks, or months ago.
