Way #2: Batch Mode: How to Remove Date from Multiple Photos

Add Photos

Add your photo by clicking Add File.

Add file..

(Optional) Select the Date By Colour

This step is NOT required. Photo Date Remover includes AI that locates the date stamp automatically.

Once you have selected the pencil and marked the date area in red, you will also see a Colour Selection tool, shown as a magic wand icon.

If your date stamp is yellow, click on that colour with the wand. The program will then search only for that colour in the highlighted area.

There are parameters like Border Fuzziness too. This will help you to remove date stamp, which has a thin black border around it.

Select by colour..

Remove it

Once you have tried this method for one photo, you can select the batch mode and save much time.

Way #3: Manual Editing: Using Clone Stamp Method

Many tools offer a Clone Stamp. The advantage here is that you can choose the area to be removed and also the area for filling the gap.

Clone stamp..

The Clone Stamp method gives you more control instead of relying on the AI tool.

Once your photo is uploaded, select the Clone Stamp option under the Tools tab from the taskbar on top. Your mouse pointer will change to a cross-shaped brush.
Adjust the brush size to accurately select the good area – which will be “cloned” and used to replace the date in the last step.
Hold down the Alt key and paint over the area with a left click.
When you are done selecting, release the Alt key.
Go to the date area and paint over it with a mouse click to remove timestamp from photo. You will see the previously selected area replacing the date as you click and paint.
Don’t forget to clean up the edges of the cloned object at the end using the quick removal method.
If you satisfied with the results, click the Save menu item.

The clone tool, as it is known in Adobe Photoshop, Inkscape, GIMP, and Corel PhotoPaint, is used in digital image editing to replace information for one part of a picture with information from another part. In other image editing software, its equivalent is sometimes called a rubber stamp tool or a clone brush.

When choosing software to remove dates from photos, consider factors such as precision, ease of use, and compatibility with various image formats.
