You can read about all the details of this amazing addition to the\u00a0MyHeritage.com<\/a>\u00a0arsenal of photographic innovations in this blog post: “Introducing PhotoDater\u2122, an Exclusive, Free New Feature to Estimate When Old Photos Were Taken<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Here is a quote from the blog post:<\/p>\n

If you are like most genealogists, you probably have cherished old family photos whose details, such as when they were taken, remain a mystery. Perhaps you flipped them over hoping to find more details, only to discover that your ancestors who treasured these photos didn\u2019t leave any information behind. Until now, missing details about your photos could have remained a mystery forever, but here at MyHeritage, we set out to find a solution. Today we\u2019re excited to announce the release of PhotoDater\u2122, a groundbreaking, free new feature that estimates the year a photo was taken, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.<\/p>\n

PhotoDater\u2122 is one-of-a-kind: MyHeritage is the only genealogy service that offers date estimation for historical photos. Using powerful technology developed by our AI team, PhotoDater\u2122 gives its best guess when a photo was taken. This can help you unlock further clues about who appears in the photo and the event at which it was taken, to solve mysteries in your genealogy research. PhotoDater\u2122 is completely free!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I tried it out on several different photos and having spent most of my life involved in photography, I was still impressed with the estimates. I currently have more than 13,000 media items on MyHeritage.com, so it is unlikely that I can date all of them, but having this tool will be a help in identifying unknown individuals and giving dates to a series of photos of one individual or family. This feature was mentioned at RootsTech 2023 earlier this year and it is really great to finally see it in action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
