Trying to add timestamp to image but keep getting error unknown image property “%[exif:DateTimeOriginal]”

I want to put timestamps on all images in a directory based on the date created/modified.

I've seen a bunch of methods like this and this, but they all use the code %[exif:DateTimeOriginal] which results in an error for me.

I can use the following code

convert input.png -annotate +100+100  "Hello" output.png

But I want to use this instead

convert input.png -annotate +100+100  %[exif:DateTimeOriginal] output.png

But it results in this error:

convert.im6: unknown image property "%[exif:DateTimeOriginal]" @ warning/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/3245.

Does anyone know a fix or can anyone suggest an alternative?

This error indicates that the EXIF tag DateTimeOriginal is not present in your image file, meaning that you can't use it to annotate the image.

I thought that might be true, but I tried a ton of different images and I thought at least one would have it. Is there an alternative to DateTimeOriginal I could use?

I don't know if you're still out there, but perhaps for other users this might help. Sometimes you can use the "file" command to see the metadata of your file. In mine, I could use the "timedate" tag
