Which should you use

If you must change the original files' dates in place on disk, an installed tool is the right choice — browsers simply aren't allowed to write to your disk.

If you're on a work PC without install rights, a Mac, or a shared computer — or you also need EXIF capture dates and document creation dates changed — NewFileDate is simpler.

FAQ

It's a website but files aren't uploaded?

Correct. Standard mode reads files into browser memory and builds a ZIP with new timestamps — nothing goes over the network. You can verify it yourself in your browser's developer tools Network tab.

What if I need the originals changed in place?

Browsers have no write access to your disk, so the originals can't be modified directly. Replace them with the extracted files, or use an installed tool when in-place editing is a must.
