Timestamp Camera is a free camera app from Google Play that has passed 50 million installs. It stamps date, time and location onto photos and videos as you shoot. Its Google Play rating is 4.6 from 433.3 thousand ratings.
Bian Di and a camera app first released in 2015
Bian Di develops the app and runs timestampcamera.com. It first appeared on March 25, 2015, and the most recent update on record is October 29, 2026. The package ID is com.jeyluta.timestampcamerafree.
It is filed under photography and has an Everyone content rating. The version number differs by device.
61 timestamp formats and seven placement options
The core job is a real-time watermark. You pick from 61 timestamp formats, change the font, color and size, and set opacity and background. The stamp can sit in seven places: the four corners are not all offered, but top left, top center, top right, bottom left, bottom center, bottom right and center are.
Location is handled automatically, with address and GPS added on request. Altitude and speed can also appear on screen. The developer says it is the only app that records video with a time watermark accurate to the millisecond.
Custom text and emoji are supported, so a caption such as "Good day at the zoo" can sit on the frame. The description also lists a map overlay with adjustable scale, transparency, size and position, a compass, and a custom logo image.
Shooting options, battery saver and hardware limits
Video can be recorded with or without audio, and you can capture a photo while recording. You can switch cameras or change the effect mid-recording, shoot in portrait or landscape, and change resolution. The shutter sound can be turned off.
A battery saver mode dims the screen anywhere from 0% to 100% of normal brightness, and a double-tap switches it on. Files can be saved straight to an SD card once you enable that in the advanced settings.
The developer warns that some features may not work on some phones because of hardware and network differences.
