How can i fix images to their original date??

Sagar_20 · Aug 17, 2017

So i just moved my pictures from my phones internal memory to the micro SD card, but now i see that the order of images ha altered.
Is there really any way to fix this??
I researched about this a bit but it doesn't seem like there is any freeware that can fix my problem?
Please Help

Okay, So you have moved the pictures from the phone to SD card. Where are you viewing it now? Phone or your PC?

No matter where i see it, the order has altered..(probably with the date when the pics were moved)

Check for the properties of the photos for the timestamp.

Try creating a folder and dump all the photo's in that folder and check if it works.

Sometimes when files are moved from Phone Storage to SD Card, the timestamp will change from the time the pictures was taken / received to the time that it was moved / modified. I have seen this happen on some devices. Its better to use computer or Apps like ES File Explorer to transfer files to the SD Card.

Good Luck.

Peace.

I do use the ES File Explorer but it did not work.I simply moved the folder DCIM from phone to the Micro SD card but then i got into this problem.

Check your photo properties for the timestamp and see if the date has been changed to the date you moved it to SD card.
If no do the below using your PC:
Connect your mobile to PC.
Create a folder in SD card(using PC).
Copy all the pictures which is in wrong order and paste it in the new folder in SD card.
Check if it works now.

Good Luck.

Peace.

Timestamps have not changed. No, it does not work however Copying contents through PC indeed preserves the Timestamps. Therefore, its better to use a PC to Move Data from Phone Memory to the Ext Memory on a Phone.

What worked for me is THIS software called Photo Date Organizer that i got to know from another THREAD i had posted on here. It is really Useful. You just need to select the Source and Destination File Folder, keep a tick mark on Create New files and Preserve original folder structure and hit START. It will then recreate the the existing files with the same name at the Destination in the Sorted Order. Later you may Copy or Move them back in to your phone. Original Order will not be Lost.
