Timestamp Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
A camera that prints the date and time onto the photo itself. The stamp is burned into the picture at the moment you press the shutter, so it stays with the file wherever you send it. No editing step afterwards, no account, no upload. β What you see is what you get The stamp on the camera screen is exactly what ends up in the saved photo - same position, same size, same color. Nothing shifts after the shutter. β Eight date and time formats 2026/08/06 14:23 / 2026-08-06 14:23:45 / 06/08/2026 14:23 / 08/06/2026 02:23 PM / Aug 6, 2026 2:23 AM / time only / date only. Pick the one your country or your paperwork uses. β Put it exactly where you want Choose one of nine positions, then drag the stamp on the camera screen to fine-tune it. Your placement is kept for the next shot. β Readable on any background Seven colors, three sizes and three typefaces. Add an outline around the letters, a frame around the stamp, or a background panel behind it - whatever it takes to stay legible against a bright wall or a dark floor. β Add one more line Put a site name, a case number or a short note under the date. β Straight into your gallery Photos go to your normal photo gallery, ready to share by mail or chat. Front and back cameras both work.
