Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based utility that writes dates, locations and captions from Google Takeout’s separate JSON files into photos and videos.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Google Photos Takeout users rebuilding photo-library imports
Worth noticing: It accounts for multipart -001.zip exports, where a photo and its matching JSON may be in different archive parts.

Field notes

The workflow includes choices for keeping the camera’s existing date and location or preferring Google’s values, with a separate option to leave out album-folder copies. The page also says it writes file modified dates to match capture time and offers a report of file fixes. Destination selection changes the import guidance shown afterward, not the files themselves.
