About this app

Put your pictures and videos in your gallery back in the right order!
• Also works for images without EXIF metadata, e.g. WhatsApp images.
• It is also possible to correct the order in the built-in galleries of e.g. Instagram or Facebook.

Have you ever copied pictures from one smartphone to another?
downloaded them from a cloud backup or copied them from a hard disk or memory card to your smartphone and then found your pictures and videos
completely mixed up in your gallery?

Image & Video Date Fixer was developed to solve exactly this problem!
Namely to put your valuable pictures and videos back in the correct chronological order.

➜ Why does the problem occur?
After copying the files to your smartphone, the file modification date of your pictures and videos is set to one and the same date, namely
to the date on which the pictures were copied to your smartphone.
As the file modification date is used for sorting in galleries, the images now appear in random order.

➜ How can Image & Video Date Fixer correct this?
Cameras store metadata in images and videos, for images this metadata type is called EXIF, for videos quicktime.
This EXIF and qicktime metadata contains, for example, the camera model, GPS coordinates and the recording date.
Image & Video Date Fixer can use this recording date to set the file modification date to the recording date.
This allows the gallery to display the images in the correct order again.

➜ What about images and videos without metadata?
In the event that no metadata such as EXIF or quicktime is available, Image & Video Date Fixer can use the date from the file name, if available.
This applies to WhatsApp images, for example.
In addition to correcting the file modification date, EXIF or quicktime metadata is also saved for both images and videos.

➜ What else can Image & Video Date Fixer do?
Image & Video Date Fixer also offers the option of changing the date for multiple images as required.
The following options are available:
• Manual date input
• Set a date or time for selected files
• Increment the date by days, hours, minutes or seconds
• Applying a time difference
• Set EXIF or quicktime metadata based on file modification date

➜ Information about Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (X) and some other apps.
Some apps use the creation date to sort the images and unfortunately it is not technically possible to change the creation date.
Nevertheless, Image & Video Date Fixer can restore the order. To do this, Image & Video Date Fixer must temporarily move the images and videos
to another folder. There they are then sorted according to the date they were taken and then moved back to their original location.
This is done in chronological order, with the oldest image or video first and the newest last.
This means that although new creation dates are created with today's date, they are in the correct chronological order.
This allows Instagram, Facebook etc. to display the images and videos in the correct order.

With the free version, 50 files can be corrected per run.
If more files are to be corrected per run, the premium version must be purchased.
Correcting Facebook and Instagram galleries, which sort by creation date, is also only possible in the premium version.

Ratings and reviews

This app serves a very specific purpose that not a lot of people might be interested in but the few that do won't find anything like it (besides doing it by themselves on a PC with exiftool editor and some adb push/pull commands.) Not only does this save a lot of time but it does it arguably better than manually because it's more streamlined. The dev pushes updates all the time when others might call it "good enough" and be done with it. 10/10. Does precisely what is needed from it.

Works pretty well. There seems to be an issue where if you pick a folder to scan that has the word "Storage" (not the root folder) in its name it fails, saying invalid directory, do not use shortcuts, etc. Wish there was a way to search only photos without exif data so I can add modified date to those photos without it.

Works very well! It would be nice if it was a tad bit simpler to use (ie. more automation) but it does what is intended and does it perfectly! The only limitation of the free version is the image cap, so depending on how many images you have to fix, it is worth buying premium for time's sake. There are no other features removed in the free version, so that is a major plus. I personally did pay for premium and I think you should too to help out the creator!
