If i had uploaded an image in a website (and if i don't have the image right now in my PC), is there a way to find the date of creation of the uploaded image?
How to find the date of creation of uploaded images?
In summary, if you have uploaded an image on a website and do not have the image on your PC, there is no guaranteed way to find the exact date of creation. However, if it is an original photo from a camera, it may contain metadata that can be accessed through image properties or image manipulation software. There is also a possibility that the server has software installed to access this information, but it may require specific permissions. The term for this data is EXIF data and it can potentially reveal a lot of information about the image, including the creation date. Additionally, if the date on the digital camera was not set correctly at the time the photo was taken, there is no way to know the exact date unless you have made a note

Download the image to your PC.
If it is an original pic from a camera it will have image properties that tell you TONS about the image including the creation date, but some image manipulation programs trash some or all of this info. The image properties can be read by windows itself (just right click on the file and select "properties") or by any image manipulation software.
The server MAY have software installed that would allow it to get at the properties of an image file directly on the server, but I think you'd have to know what that software is on your particular server and how to access it and it's possible that permissions would be required that you do not have unless it is YOUR server or a VPN.

The buzzword for what phinds is talking about is EXIF data. The original camera image will probably contain everything you could possibly want to know, but of course there is no way to tell if the original time and date were correct (some people never figure out how to set the clocks on their digital cameras!) and the data might have been edited or deleted later.

The metadata in the image file can even contain an embarrassing thumbnail of the entire image from which it was cropped

Ok ,so there is no way to know the exact date if the date in the digital camera was not set at the time when the photo was taken.

Not unless you made a note of it yourself when you took the pic :pMonsterboy said:
1. How can I determine the date of creation of an uploaded image?
There are a few ways to determine the date of creation of an uploaded image. One option is to check the metadata of the image, which can often include the date and time the photo was taken. Alternatively, you can try performing a reverse image search using a search engine or specialized tools to see if the original source of the image has any information on its creation date.
2. Can I rely on the date of creation listed in the image's properties?
The date of creation listed in an image's properties can provide a general estimate of when the image was created, but it is not always accurate. This information can be easily manipulated or changed, so it should not be considered completely reliable.
3. Is there a way to determine the date of creation of an image if it has been edited or altered?
In some cases, it may be possible to determine the original date of creation of an image even if it has been edited or altered. As mentioned before, checking the metadata or performing a reverse image search can sometimes provide this information. However, if the image has been significantly altered, it may be difficult or impossible to determine its original creation date.
4. Are there any software programs or tools specifically designed for finding the date of creation of uploaded images?
Yes, there are several software programs and online tools that specialize in determining the creation date of images. These tools often use advanced algorithms to analyze the image and provide an estimated date of creation. However, their accuracy may vary depending on the image and its metadata.
5. Is it possible to determine the date of creation of an image if it has been downloaded from the internet?
In most cases, it is not possible to determine the date of creation of an image that has been downloaded from the internet. This is because the image may have been uploaded and downloaded multiple times, and its original creation date may have been lost during the process. Additionally, images found on the internet may have been created a long time ago and may not have an accurate creation date available.
