Image & Video Date Fixer - Gallery organization & correction

Reorganize your photos and videos in the gallery effortlessly!

• This tool also supports images lacking EXIF metadata, such as those from WhatsApp.

• You can also adjust the order in built-in galleries of platforms like Instagram or Facebook.

Have you ever transferred photos from one smartphone to another?

Or perhaps downloaded them from a cloud backup, or moved files from a hard drive or memory card to your device, only to find that your pictures and videos are disorganized in your gallery?

The Image & Video Date Fixer was specifically designed to address this issue!

Its purpose is to restore the correct chronological sequence of your cherished photos and videos.

➜ Why does this issue arise?

Upon transferring files to your smartphone, the modification date of your images and videos resets to a single date—the one on which they were transferred.

Since galleries rely on the file modification date for sorting, this results in a random arrangement of the images.

➜ How does Image & Video Date Fixer resolve this?

Cameras embed metadata in photos and videos; for images, this format is known as EXIF, while for videos, it's termed quicktime.

This metadata holds vital information, including the camera model, GPS coordinates, and the date of recording.

The Image & Video Date Fixer utilizes the recording date included in this metadata to update the file modification date accordingly.

This adjustment enables the gallery to rearrange the images chronologically.

➜ What about images and videos missing metadata?

If there is no metadata available, such as EXIF or quicktime, the Image & Video Date Fixer can utilize the date embedded in the filename, if present.

This approach works for images from WhatsApp, for example.

Alongside correcting the file modification date, the tool also preserves the EXIF or quicktime metadata for both photos and videos.

➜ What additional features does Image & Video Date Fixer offer?

The software also provides options to modify the date for multiple images based on your needs.

The available functions include:

• Manual date entry

• Assigning a specific date or time to selected files

• Incrementing the date by days, hours, minutes, or seconds

• Applying a time differential

• Setting EXIF or quicktime metadata according to the file modification date

➜ Details regarding Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (X), and similar applications.

Certain applications opt to sort images using their creation dates, and unfortunately, it’s not possible to alter the creation date due to technical limitations.

However, the Image & Video Date Fixer can still restore the desired order. To accomplish this, the application temporarily relocates the images and videos

to a different folder where they are organized by capture date before moving them back to their initial location.

This process follows a chronological pattern, placing the oldest media first and the newest last.

As a result, new creation dates will reflect today’s date but will be arranged correctly by chronology.

This allows platforms like Instagram and Facebook to showcase your pictures and videos in the right sequence.

Requirements

For those of you who are interested, you can now enjoy the free version of Image & Video Date Fixer from the Google Play Store, which will be available for all Android users. Simply enter the app and start making uses of many in-app features without paying for your downloads. However, since it’s still a freemium application, there will be forced ads and limited features that might bother you a little bit.

And like other Android applications, you’re required to always have your mobile devices updated to the latest firmware versions, preferably Android 9.0 and up, which will guarantee better in-app stability and improve its overall compatibility with your system. Also, most of the in-app features will require certain access permissions in order to function properly. So, make sure to always consider the prompting request upon your first time entering its home menu.

💎 Free & Premium Options

The free version allows up to 50 files to be corrected per session.

To fix more files in a single session, you’ll need to opt for the premium version.

Additionally, adjusting galleries on Facebook and Instagram, which rely on creation dates for sorting, is exclusively available in the premium version.

❗Disclaimer regarding android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE usage:

Processing all your files may take several minutes or even hours, depending on your device, the number of images, or storage selected.

This permission is necessary to ensure all files are processed without interruptions, which could lead to inaccurate outcomes or media not appearing in the gallery anymore—preventing the app from being terminated by the system during processing.

A notification will be displayed in the status bar while the service is active.
