Facebook strips EXIF on upload, so every downloaded photo shows today's date. Upload your 'Download your information' ZIP to build a manifest that maps each photo to its original date — from EXIF where available, otherwise the upload time. Runs entirely in your browser.
The JSON 'Download your information' ZIP, or a photos JSON file.
Facebook strips EXIF on upload, so downloaded photos all show the download date. But the JSON export still records each photo's original date. This tool matches every photo to its original date and gives you a manifest.
No. Like our Google Photos audit, this reads and reports — it produces a manifest CSV mapping each file to its original date. It does not rewrite EXIF or change your image files.
Import the CSV into a batch date-setting tool (or a script) that sets each file's date from the manifest. The manifest gives filename, album, original date, and whether the date came from EXIF or upload time.
No. The ZIP is read entirely in your browser; only the JSON metadata is parsed, and the report is generated on your device.
