Change the date and time stored in HEIC photos
Correct the capture date on HEIC photos, adjust the time zone, or shift a whole set by a fixed period. The tool shows which fields change and verifies the edit afterwards.

How to use it
- Add your HEIC photos.
- Set exact dates, or choose to shift by days, hours, minutes and seconds, or adjust the time zone.
- Review the list of fields that will change.
- Apply and download. The result is verified.
What it keeps
- The pixels. Only date fields are edited, in place, at the byte level.
- All other metadata.
- File size.
What it removes or changes
- DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate, plus offsets, are set to the new values.
- Shifting applies the same offset to every selected photo, keeping their order.
Limits
- If the file has no EXIF date field, there is nothing to edit and the tool says so. It does not invent one.
- File-system dates on your computer are separate and do not change.
- Edits are only as honest as you make them. Changing dates can mislead, so do not use it to misrepresent when a photo was taken.
Compatibility
Photo libraries sort by these fields, so correcting them fixes a wrong timeline after a camera clock error, a time zone slip or a trip abroad. Apps that read EXIF will show the new values, though some also use file-system dates.
Privacy
The edit runs in your browser. Photos are not uploaded and nothing is stored after the tab closes.
Shift by an offset or set an exact date
Setting an exact date is right for a single photo with a known capture time. Shifting is right for a batch that is consistently off, for example a camera clock set to the wrong time zone, because it preserves the gaps between shots. Check the preview of changed fields before you apply either.
Troubleshooting
It says there is no date to edit.
The file has no EXIF date field. The tool does not create one.
My library still shows the old date.
Some apps cache dates or use file-system dates. Re-import the photo.
The shift went the wrong way.
Use a negative period or redo it from the original file.
Frequently asked questions
Does it touch pixels?
No. Only the date fields in the metadata are edited, in place, and the image data stays exactly as it was.
Can I shift many photos?
Yes, by a period in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
What if there is no date?
The tool tells you and does not add one.
