Looking for a file date changer for your Mac? A Better Finder Attributes batch changes file creation & modification dates, corrects EXIF shooting dates of photos and videos, and fixes Finder sorting — for a handful of files or for tens of thousands in one go.
A note on File Date Changer 5: our Mac App Store-only mini edition has been retired and is no longer for sale. It was a cut-down version of A Better Finder Attributes that only changed file dates. A Better Finder Attributes is the full tool it was carved out of — same developer, actively maintained, and fully compatible with the latest versions of macOS. If you are a File Date Changer 5 user, see the legacy section below.
Set file creation and modification dates to a specific date and time, add or remove time to shift whole batches of files, or copy one date to another. Inconsistent dates (a file "modified before it was created") are corrected automatically.
Drag & drop files or entire folder hierarchies, preview the new dates before anything is changed, then process everything in a single operation. Files and folders can be handled separately, and sub-folders can be included recursively.
Unlike simple file date changers, A Better Finder Attributes also manipulates the EXIF shooting dates embedded inside JPEG, RAW and video files — ideal for correcting camera clock and timezone mistakes.
The Finder sorts by file dates, not by shooting date. Synchronize the file creation date with the EXIF shooting date and your photos finally sort in the order they were taken.
Download A Better Finder Attributes 7.48 for Intel & Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 Ventura or later. macOS 26 Tahoe compatible.
The trial is free and processes up to 5 files at a time; a license removes this limitation. Versions for older Macs are available from the download page.

File Date Changer 5 is no longer for sale or updated, but if you still use it, the original documentation remains available: Quick Start Guide, Installation & Uninstallation, File Selection and The Main Dialog.
On current versions of macOS we recommend switching to A Better Finder Attributes — it does everything File Date Changer 5 did and much more. Questions? Just drop us an email at support@publicspace.net.
