Privacy first
Your photos
are yours.
Photo stamping and exporting run locally. We do not operate an image upload or analytics service. GPS metadata is removed from new exports by default.
Place stamps are optional. If you explicitly choose to look up a city, your photo's historical coordinates are sent to Apple's geocoding service, not to a Date Stamps server. Printed location text remains visible even after removing GPS metadata.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
What is a photo date stamp?
A photo date stamp adds a visible date to a picture. Date Stamps is a photo stamper for iPhone and iPad, with original capture dates, six styles and optional places.
How do I add the original date to an existing iPhone photo?
Each photo starts with its EXIF or Apple Photos capture date. Choose the format in Settings. Tap the date in the editor to change only that photo; Original date restores its capture date.
Does Date Stamps overwrite my original photos?
No. The default action is to save new copies. Editing eligible original photos is an advanced, separate action requiring explicit confirmation.
Can I batch add timestamps to 100 photos?
The app supports selecting up to 100 photos and stamping them with their individual capture dates. Export speed depends on file size, iPhone hardware and whether originals need downloading from iCloud.
Does the vintage orange film date look like a real camera stamp?
It uses a digital dot-matrix style inspired by compact film cameras. You can adjust the date format, position and size.
Can I add GPS coordinates or a city to the photo?
Yes, optionally. Existing image GPS coordinates can be stamped without using your current location. Enter a city manually or explicitly choose Apple's online city lookup.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
Stamping photos already stored on your device works offline. Photos in iCloud may need downloading, and optional city lookup requires a connection.
Can I choose a different album?
Yes. With the appropriate Photos permission, new photos are organized in the Date Stamps album by default; you can select another album or save to All Photos.
Does it preserve RAW, HDR and Live Photo formats?
Exports are still JPEG or PNG files. Motion, RAW and HDR-specific properties are not maintained; original files are preserved when saving copies.
