Remove the date stamp from old or scanned photos

Many film compacts and early digital cameras printed the date in orange or red digits in a corner. It's one of the easiest removals: the digits are small and usually sit over sky, ground or a plain area, so the fill blends in with little effort.

FAQ

My scans are TIFF files. Can I use them?

Not directly — supported inputs are JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP. Export the scan as PNG to keep it lossless; a PNG input also downloads as PNG.
