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 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 the media's creation timestamp stored in the photos metadata.

Typical use-cases for Photo Date Adjustator is re-adjusting photos' creation timestamps if the camera date was off, or match the corresponding photo files' filesystem timestamps to match the point in time when a photo has been orignally 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.

Photo Date Adjustator can be downloaded and installed for free (like in "at no charge") from the Apple App Store, where you can also check out the many reviews and ratings if in doubt:
