## FAQ

### Does it read the original photo date?

Yes. The tool reads EXIF metadata to get the original capture date and time automatically.

### Can I customize the date format?

Yes. Choose from multiple date formats and styles including vintage film camera look.

### Does this preserve EXIF metadata?

EXIF is read first to find the original capture date for the stamp, then preserved in the output. Stamping does not strip the metadata block.
