How to change the time and date on your photos

If your camera's clock was set incorrectly when you took your digital pictures, your photos may have the wrong time and/or date. That's not good if you're trying to find a photo based on when it was taken. But you can change the date and time. Here's how:

To change the date:
1. In Windows Explorer, right click the photo file whose date you want to change and 2. click Properties.
3. Click the Details tab.
Navigate to the Origin section and click in the "Date Taken" field, then type in the correct date. Note that you can't change the time here.

To change the time:
1. Open Windows Photo Gallery (included in Vista) and navigate to the photo whose time you want to change. You can also select multiple photos here.
2. Right click and select Change Time Taken.
3. In the dialog box, use the up and down arrows to change the time in the "New Time" field

Note: if you're using Windows XP or Windows 7, you can download Windows Photo Gallery from the Windows Live web site at
