Way #2: Manual Editing: How to Remove Date from Photo By Clone Stamp method

Many date stamp removal 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 tool to remove the date from a photo.

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.

#step: Go to the date area and paint over it with a mouse click to remove date and time 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.

You can choose which of these methods to use according to your photo.
If the date appears against a plain background or in an area with fewer details, you can directly highlight the area and remove a date from the photo.
If the stamp overlaps with other objects in your image, you can choose the specific colour for the best results.
