Most of today's digital camera photos are saved in JPG files. The date and time at which a photo is taken are stored along with the image in so called EXIF format. Such date and time information can be viewed on a PC once the JPG files are transferred from the digital camera to the PC.

When you make a hardcopy of a digital photo by using a color printer or by sending it to a photo lab, the date and time do not get printed on the hardcopy photo. By using Magitime, the date and time are extracted from the JPG files and superimposed onto the photos. This way when a hardcopy is made from the JPG file, the date and/or time will show up on the photo.

MagiTime is designed to work for JPG photo files( the most popular digital camera output file format) only, it may work for EXIF conformed TIF photo files, but not for photo files of other formats.
