I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

When uploading assets without EXIF metadata, Immich ignores the time zone information provided in the fileCreatedAt and fileModifiedAt fields. The timestamp is always interpreted as UTC, even if a time zone offset is present in the string.

This results in incorrect display times (e.g. shifted by -2 hours for Germany) when uploading files with ISO 8601 timestamps like: 2025-06-21T16:53:24.000+02:00

Example for the above timestamp:
Image

This issue occurs both via the API and the web interface.

Important note:

  • EXIF metadata (if present) correctly overrides the timestamp. So this needs to be tested with images without EXIF metadata (WhatApp images or screenshots).
