Foto+MetaData pada Image yg diCapture Kamera HP Android (Sumber: ChatGPT)

An Android camera that prints metadata (time, location, etc.) onto the image itself at capture

At capture (a burned-in stamp), not just saved in EXIF. Below I list the best options, quick setup steps, pros/cons, and privacy notes so you can pick the right approach.


Best Android apps
that burn time + location onto photos

Timestamp Camera
(Timestamp / Timestamp Camera:
Date Time Location)

Real-time timestamp & GPS watermark for photos and videos; many timestamp formats, font/position options, can show address or GPS coordinates. Good for fieldwork, inspections.

Google Play

PhotoStamp / PhotoStamp Camera

Straightforward app to add Time, GPS location, logo or signature stamps on pictures and videos; simple UI for date/time+GPS overlays.

Google Play

Open Camera (free, open source)

Supports an overlay timestamp for photos and videos and can include location name / GPS in the overlay (and has many camera controls). Great if you prefer an open solution with a robust camera feature set.

Open Camera

Built-in OEM Camera
(Samsung, some Android skins)

Many manufacturer camera apps offer a built-in Watermark or Date & time feature you can enable (no third app required). Check your Camera settings (Settings → Watermark / Timestamp). Works well for casual use.


Quick setup —
how to get a burned-in time & location

(Example: Timestamp Camera)

  • Install Timestamp Camera from Google Play
  • Open app → grant Camera & Location permissions.
  • In app settings choose: timestamp format, enable “Add location” (address or GPS), choose font, size and position.
  • Take photo — the timestamp + location is burned directly into the image.

(Example: Open Camera)

  • Install Open Camera. Open → Settings → More camera controls / Video / Photo overlays.
  • Enable Stamp photos or On-screen stamp and pick what to include (date, time, GPS address).
  • Take photos — overlay will be on the saved jpeg.

(Example: Samsung built-in)

  • Open Camera → Settings → Watermark → enable Date & time (or custom watermark). Photos taken will include it.


Pros & cons — burned-in overlay vs EXIF

Burned-in overlay (what you want)

  • Pros: visible on the image (proof without needing EXIF reader); great for documentation/inspections.
  • Cons: irreversible (unless you keep original), may block important image details, style is fixed by app.

EXIF / embedded metadata (not burned in)

  • Pros: contains precise GPS + timestamp without altering image pixels; reversible and invisible; preferred for mapping & cataloging.
  • Cons: recipients might strip EXIF; less obvious for quick evidence.


Privacy & legal notes

  • Burned-in location/time is embedded in the image pixels — anyone who sees the photo will see it. If privacy is a concern (home address, faces), avoid including address or disable GPS in overlays.
  • If you need both proof and privacy: take two copies — one with burned-in stamp for evidence and one original with GPS saved in EXIF but not shown. (Apps like Timestamp Camera and Open Camera can do burned-in; the original EXIF may or may not be preserved depending on app settings.)

Tips and configuration suggestions

  • Use a corner position for the stamp to avoid covering key parts of the photo.
  • If you need a custom format (e.g., ISO timestamp, milliseconds, or a signature/logo), many timestamp apps let you customize format/font/logo.
  • For inspections or legal evidence, enable GPS address + coordinates so you have both readable place and exact location.
  • If you want to batch-stamp existing photos, look for apps that can stamp existing images (many do).


Quick recommendation based on use case

  • Field inspections, evidence, construction sites: Timestamp Camera or PhotoStamp Camera (feature rich, easy)
  • Power users who want open source + camera controls: Open Camera (free, robust)
  • Casual use / one-off: check your phone’s camera settings for a built-in watermark/timestamp first
