Frequently asked questions

Do you upload my Takeout files?

No. Everything runs in your browser; no data is uploaded to Inqita.

What sidecars are supported?

This tool checks for JSON sidecars usually produced by Google Photos Takeout. It looks for matching base filenames and basic date fields.

Can this restore missing dates?
