NewFileTime for Windows

Portable timestamp editor for files and folders

NewFileTime is a lightweight, free utility that lets you adjust the timestamps of files and directories. It’s a portable program (no installer required) — just extract the archive anywhere on your disk and run it. Because it doesn’t modify Windows registry entries, you can use it without altering system settings.

Why you might want to change timestamps

Files sometimes show incorrect dates and times due to camera or smartphone glitches, faulty EXIF metadata, manual edits, or corruption. That can leave photos, audio, or documents out of order or with impossible dates. Changing timestamps makes it easy to reorganize archives, correct mistakes, or standardize file dates for backup and sharing.

How the program works

NewFileTime provides a simple, uncluttered interface designed for quick batch edits. You can add items by dragging and dropping them into the window or by browsing to select files and folders. Subfolders can be included during import, and multiple files can be processed together. Before applying changes you can preview both the original and new timestamps, and the app supports exporting and importing timestamp lists as text files as well as clearing timestamps if needed.

Main features

• Batch edit creation, modification, and last-access times for files and folders
• Add files and folders via drag-and-drop or through the built-in file browser, with optional inclusion of subdirectories
• Preview original and updated timestamps before applying changes
• Export or import timestamp lists to a text file and clear timestamps when required
• Portable design: runs without installation and leaves registry entries untouched

Recommended for both casual and advanced users

NewFileTime is straightforward enough for beginners yet efficient for power users. It focuses on the essential tools needed to correct or standardize file timestamps without clutter or unnecessary complexity, so you can start correcting dates as soon as you launch it.
