Timestamp Camera

Features
Read full description

Age Stamp adds age (years/months/days) and the date directly onto your photos, with beautiful, customizable styles. Because some moments fly by: the first month, the first tooth, the first walk… or that “today it’s exactly X” you never want to forget. What you can do with Age Stamp Automatically calculate age from the date you choose. Create profiles (baby, siblings, pets…). Customize the overlay: style, font, size, and position. Add today’s date (and time if you want) for a classic timestamp look. Extra tip (favorite) Create a profile with a special name, for example “Wedding”, and set that day’s date. From then on, every photo will show how long you’ve been together (years, months, and days) without doing any math. Plans Start free with a daily quota. If you need unlimited use, unlock Pro to remove limits and access advanced features. Privacy No accounts. No sign-up. Your information stays on your device. Purchases are handled securely through Apple. Privacy policy: https://agestamp.miguelpg.com/privacy/ Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
