How does it know when a photo was taken?

Writing, faces and clues in the picture help us estimate a date.

We look for printed dates and handwriting, then use clues such as clothes, cars and nearby photos. People you name with birth years can help sharpen the estimate.

Every date is an estimate. Open a photo to read why we chose it, and change the date when you know more.

Still stuck?

We usually answer within a day.
