I have thousands of images from .jpgs to .pngs on my computer.  I use
the (free) FastStone Photo Viewer.  It's not only a great image
viewer, but offers many other options from selecting by tagged images
to bulk re-naming.  It's set as my default viewer.

That's up to your own system.  Images come out of the camera with
descriptors determined by the camera.  In my case, my Nikon names an
image something like _DNC4911.dng.  I re-name the image
2024-07-26-1.dng or whatever the date is.   The image is then adjusted
in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop and saved or exported as a .tif, .psd,
.png, or .jpg depending on the intended use.

If I link to one of my images, the file name in that format tells you
when that image was taken.  Associating the date-taken with the image
by making it the file name has many advantages.

 
I found the date-as-name extremely useful when I set about
organizing the files I obtained when I had 10,000 slides scanned.
They had been shot by my dad, featuring celebrations, vacations
(people and viewss) and special events. This was about 30 years
after he died, after my mom moved and was sorting things out,
so discoloration was the problem that was more time-consuming
than figuring the actual, original dates.
 
I have also found useful a free program called Bulk Rename Utility,
which gives great flexibility in re-defining names.

ABFR, on the Mac. (A Better Finder Rename)
It can rename with any tag, in particular all EXIF ones.
(and it can do lots of other useful things too)
