Looking for a photo date changer for your Mac? A Better Finder Attributes batch-corrects the EXIF shooting dates of JPEG, RAW & video files, fixes camera clock and time zone mistakes, and syncs file dates to photo dates so your pictures sort correctly — for a handful of photos or for entire collections in one go.
A note on Photo Date Changer for Mac: 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 photo 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 Photo Date Changer user, see the legacy section below.
On Windows? Photo Date Changer is alive and well as a native Windows app: Photo Date Changer for Windows batch-corrects JPEG & RAW EXIF shooting dates with a free trial.
Set the EXIF timestamps of JPEG, RAW & video files to a specific date and time, or batch-adjust them by adding or removing time. A Better Finder Attributes writes the shooting date straight into the files themselves, so every photo manager sees the corrected dates.
Forgot to reset your camera's clock after traveling, or shot an event with multiple cameras that disagreed about the time? Drag & drop your photos, preview the new dates, and shift the whole shoot by the same offset in a single batch operation.
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.
Unlike photo-only tools, A Better Finder Attributes also gives you total control over file creation and modification dates — set them to a specific time, shift them, or copy the shooting date into them.
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.
On Windows, download the free trial of Photo Date Changer for Windows instead.

The Mac App Store edition of Photo Date Changer 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, The Main Dialog, EXIF Basics, Changing EXIF Information and Inconsistent File Dates.
On current versions of macOS we recommend switching to A Better Finder Attributes — it does everything Photo Date Changer did and much more. Questions? Just drop us an email at support@publicspace.net.
