Make every date decision visible
See whether a date came from embedded metadata, a matched Takeout JSON file, the filename, or the file system. Conflicts stay visible.
LOCAL PHOTO DATE AUDIT & COPY ORGANIZER
See the evidence behind
your photo dates.
Before migrating or organizing a photo archive, compare its date evidence locally, including compatible Google Takeout JSON. Create YYYY/MM copies and CSV/JSON reports. Audit free and try up to 20 selected copies per export. Originals and embedded EXIF stay unchanged.

WHY TRUETAKEN
A photo organizer that shows its work.
Most tools either trust one date blindly or rewrite metadata immediately. TrueTaken separates inspection from action.
Organize copies, not originals
Create date-named copies in YYYY/MM folders. The source stays where it is, byte-for-byte unchanged.
Keep a portable audit trail
Receive CSV and JSON reports you can review in a spreadsheet, retain with the archive, or feed into another workflow.
THREE QUIET STEPS
From a messy folder to a reviewable plan.
- 01
Choose
Select a photo folder. Include Google Takeout JSON files when available.
- 02
Audit
TrueTaken compares available date clues locally and flags disagreements.
- 03
Export
Write new copies to a separate destination, with the manifest beside them.
BUILT FOR CAUTION
No silent guesses. No irreversible first step.
Readable before writable
The full audit appears before any copy is created.
Conflicts pause
Rows with strong date disagreement are not selected automatically.
No photo cloud
The audit runs in your browser. File names and image content are never sent to analytics.

HONEST ANSWERS
Know exactly what TrueTaken does—and does not do.
Does TrueTaken change my original photos?+
No. It reads the source and creates new copies in a separate destination. You should still keep an independent backup.
Does it find the “true” capture date?+
Not necessarily. Metadata can be missing, edited, or wrong. TrueTaken shows the available evidence and its selection rule; it does not prove a historical capture time.
Does it support Google Takeout?+
It can use compatible JSON sidecars when a confident match is available. Missing, ambiguous, and conflicting files are reported instead of silently treated as certain.
Does it rewrite EXIF metadata?+
No. The current product does not rewrite EXIF metadata; it audits dates and organizes new copies. Photo apps that sort only by embedded EXIF may therefore show a different order.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No photo or filename is uploaded for analysis. License validation sends only the license key to the license provider.
Is this a backup tool?+
No. The output is an organized working copy. Keep your original archive and a separate verified backup.

Review first. Copy second. Keep the evidence.
Audit your archive and export up to 20 selected copies for free. Pay only if removing that per-export copy limit is useful to you.
