Version: 1.0.2

DTStamp is a .NET 5 CLI utility for adding a date/time stamp to images in a single folder. Supports JPG (or JPEG) images only. Timestamps are based on the Date Time Original EXIF field.

This application is delivered as a single-file .NET 5 application. The dtstamp.ttf font file is required for the application to run and can be used to customized with the font of your choice (see Configuration below).

There are two ways to use DTStamp:

1. Copy & paste the following files into your images folder:
   • dtstamp.exe
   • dtstamp.ttf
2. Run dtstamp.exe
3. Timestamped images will be available in a new folder named "output" inside the source folder

1. Run dtstamp.exe from any location with the following parameter: -path <path_to_your_image_folder>
   • Example: dtstamp.exe -path 'C:\data\images'
2. Timestamped images will be available in a new folder named "output" inside the source folder

Available parameters when running dtstamp.exe:

• -path: absolute path to the image source folder; defaults to current directory of executable if not provided
• -size: font size (pt) of date & time stamp on images
• -quality : jpeg encoding quality (0 - 100)

Example of parameter usage:

dtstamp.exe -path 'c:\images' -size 128 -quality 55

The font file dtstamp.ttf represents the font used for timestamps on images. You can replace this with a font of your choice by naming a True Type Font file dtstamp.ttf and placing next to the executable (dtstamp.exe).
