The stamp is there before you shoot — date, time and location render live in the viewfinder and burn into the photo. Built for job sites, inspections and claims. Every photo already knows when and where it was taken. CamStamp puts that on the picture itself — so the proof travels with the image instead of sitting in a metadata field nobody opens. Frame the shot and the stamp is already there. Date, time and location render live in the viewfinder before you press the shutter, exactly as they'll appear in the saved photo. What you see is what you get. BUILT FOR WORK THAT HAS TO BE DOCUMENTED • Contractors and trades — progress, damage, completed work • Inspections and property management — dated condition reports • Real estate — site visits and parcel walkthroughs • Insurance and claims — evidence with a time and a place attached • And anything else worth knowing when and where THE STAMP IS BURNED INTO THE IMAGE Not an overlay, not a sidecar file. Text it, email it, drop it into a report — the date and location go with it. Strip the EXIF and the stamp is still there. EVERY SHOT, ONE TAP AWAY Tap the thumbnail to browse your stamped photos — or your whole library. Switch between the CamStamp album, All Photos, Favorites and your own albums, filter by date, and see everything grouped by the day you took it. Open any photo full screen, flick through the filmstrip, and share or delete in one tap. ALREADY HAVE THE PHOTOS? Batch-stamp straight from your library. Every photo is stamped with its own original date and location, read from that photo's metadata — not today's date. Up to 50 in one pass. (CamStamp Pro) MAKE IT YOURS • Drop the stamp in any corner • Drag the size to exactly where you want it • Choose your colors • Light or dark — or match your iPhone.

Photos taken inside it show your label instead of a street address (CamStamp Pro) • Save up to 20 custom texts, like "Before" and "After," and switch with one tap (CamStamp Pro) PRIVATE BY DESIGN CamStamp does all of this on your device. CamStamp has no servers — your photos stay on your iPhone. Location is optional — the date and time stamp works perfectly with location turned off.
