I need help restoring the EXIF dates on photos sent via WhatsApp. The photos are in various image formats (JPEG, PNG, HEIC). As I'm sure you are aware, WhatsApp does not include the original date that a photo was taken on the file of each photo, so when sent to another individual and saved, it is no longer in chronological order, but in date order as per the date that it was downloaded. I understand that this could be done using either C++, C, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, Delphi, Go Lang etc. I would send the photos to you via Google Drive. There would be one file for each year - 2014 to 2025. You would then restore the WA media exif dates and save each file with the date included in the file name so that they can be ordered chronologically, such that whatever platform I put them on, they would be in chronological order.

Hello, I’m excited to help restore the EXIF dates for your photos sent via **WhatsApp**. Using **Python** (or another language of your preference), I can create a script that will extract the original date from each photo and restore it in the EXIF metadata, then rename each file with the correct date so it can be ordered chronologically. I’ll work with the photos you send via **Google Drive**, regardless of the format (JPEG, PNG, HEIC), and ensure each one is processed to reflect the original date taken. The script will handle multiple files per year, from **2014 to 2025**, and save them in a way that makes it easy to organize on any platform. Looking forward to assisting with this project! Best regards, Juan

I’ve worked on similar cases where metadata loss through messaging apps obscured photo chronology, and a subtle approach is to reconstruct dates from file attributes combined with message timestamps. This avoids relying solely on unreliable EXIF data and keeps the timeline intact. I see you want to restore original capture dates across multiple formats between 2014–2025, then rename files for chronological sorting. Done right, this means a dependable date extraction method, cleanly applied, with minimal need for revisions. Previously, I’ve handled complex metadata recovery under file-format constraints, using Python scripts that cross-reference timestamps and embed corrected EXIF info without overwriting originals. Using Google Drive for transfer and a local script ensures security and cost-effectiveness. What I’ll deliver: ✅ Corrected EXIF dates where recoverable for JPEG, PNG, HEIC ✅ Renamed files with date-prefix for easy sorting ✅ Script to automate the process for future batches ✅ Clear documentation for your use and verification To get started, would you be able to share a small sample batch? A quick sync lets us align expectations early. Happy to discuss this further and align before moving ahead. Kind regards Eliza.
