Rename Photos by Date Taken

Read the available JPEG capture date and place it before each original filename. The preset uses YYYY-MM-DD_originalName.

Organize JPEG photos by capture date

The metadata mode uses the date stored in supported JPEG or JPG EXIF data, not the file’s modified date.

The original image bytes and extension are preserved in renamed copies inside a ZIP archive.

1
Add JPEG photos
Upload the JPEG or JPG files whose EXIF capture dates you want to use.
2
Review the date template
Keep YYYY-MM-DD_originalName or choose another available date format.
3
Check fallback names
Preview every result, then download renamed copies after checking files without readable dates.

Does this use the photo’s capture date or file modified date?

It uses a readable EXIF capture date from supported JPEG or JPG files. Sorting by modified date is a separate option.

What happens when no EXIF date is found?

With fallback enabled, the original base filename is retained. Always inspect the preview before downloading.
