Rename All Your Photos Based on Exif Because Google Fotos Destroys the File Timestamp

Google Photos often alters the original file timestamp during uploads, making it difficult to organize photos chronologically. To solve this issue, I created rename-all-your-photos-based-on-exif-because-google-fotos-destroys-the-file-timestamp, a script that renames photos based on EXIF metadata, preserving the original capture date in the filename.

rename-all-your-photos-based-on-exif-because-google-fotos-destroys-the-file-timestamp ensures that even if file timestamps are altered, your photos remain in the correct order by relying on EXIF data for accurate dating.
