Is there any way to put a time and date stamp on a photo on the Samsung Galaxy S3? I've tried a couple apps to no avail. I'm a realtor and need time and date stamps on my photos. I really need to be able to turn it on and off. I'm very frustrated!:mad:
I'm not sure I understand your problem - every photo that I take using the stock camera application is named something like this:
yyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg (showing the 4 digit year, 2 digit month, 2 digit day; separated by an underscore and then the 6 digit military time [so everything after noon adds + 1, so 3:15 pm is actually 1515 - 12 + 3 is 15]).
Any file explorer will show you this information, and any picture viewer will allow you to look at the file properties, which includes the filename.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Finally, any EXIF viewer (ex. ExifViewer: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
should show the date/time embedded in the picture (along with the GPS location if you have that enabled).[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]Sent from my rooted, debloated, deodexed Sinclair ZX-80 running CM -0.001 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry that I wasn't clear! I am a realtor and need to send time/date stamped photos of properties (with time/date stamp printed on photo). I am unable to find anywhere that tells me how to do this on the stock camera. And there are other times I don't want the time and date stamp showing on my pictures, so it would be convenient to be able to easily be able to turn it on and off. I'm not very well versed with technical things, so maybe it is something I am just overlooking or not understanding. I would appreciate any input/advice you may have! Thanks!
There's actually quite a few apps that do this in the Play Store. Which ones have you tried? I searched using "timestamp camera" but there are also watermark apps that will do the same thing.
Ah, a little information goes a long way!
As the previous poster suggests, you should be able to find 3rd party apps that will:
- add date/time stamps to existing photos after-the-fact
- allow you to capture photos and add the date/time stamp
- replace the stock camera app and allow you to turn that feature on/off
I took a quick look at the 2nd category and found Add Watermark Free: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (the free version is rather handicapped but will give you a good enough idea to determine if it's worth purchasing the full version).
Edit: here's a sample of something in the 3rd category Vignette Demo: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Thanks so much! I downloaded the first one and it seems to do exactly what I need it to. I really appreciate the help!!
Hello, I have tried the Watermark on pictures and it works great! However, I need to take video's and need the date & time stamp displayed when the video plays back. Any suggestions? Please help? I need to use the videos as evidence and the video will not be recognised without the date and time stamp displayed during playback. The info in the "properties" section of the file will not suffice. Thanks so much xx
Hi emileei how the water mark works we need to dated the pictures after taken or these app date pictures at the time that you take them ?
