How to Add Name and Date on Photo?

1

Upload & Crop

Upload your raw passport-sized photo. Use the built-in cropper to focus perfectly on your face and shoulders.

2

Enter Name & Date

Type your full name and the current date (DOP). Choose whether to generate a white border block for the text.

3

Compress & Download

Select the exact output size (e.g., 3.5x4.5 cm) and compress the final file to under 50KB for instant form upload.

Why Do You Need Name and Date of Photo (DOP) on Images?

When applying for state and central government jobs in India, the recruitment boards have extremely strict verification guidelines. Commissions like SSC (Staff Selection Commission), IBPS, RRB (Railway Recruitment Board), and State Police Recruitment Boards explicitly mandate that the candidate's passport-size photograph must display two things clearly at the bottom:

  • The Applicant's Full Name (Usually in Capital Letters)
  • DOP: The Date of Photo (To prove the photo is not older than 3 months)

Failure to append these details often results in the direct rejection of the application form during the initial scrutiny phase. Smart CSC Tool's online generator automates this process without the need to visit a cyber cafe or use complex software like Adobe Photoshop.

The "White Space" Advantage

Writing text directly over a person's shirt or background can make the Name and Date completely unreadable, leading to document rejection.

Our tool includes a smart "Add Extra White Space On Bottom" feature. When enabled, it creates a clean, solid white slate (border) at the bottom of the photo specifically for the text. This ensures the text has high contrast and looks professionally printed from a photo studio.

100% Privacy Guaranteed: All photo processing, text rendering, and compression are handled locally on your browser. Your images are completely safe and never uploaded to our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory to write the Date of Photo (DOP) for SSC exams?
Yes, according to the official Staff Selection Commission (SSC) guidelines, it is highly recommended (and often mandatory depending on the specific notice) to have the date on which the photograph was taken clearly printed on the photo. The photo should not be more than three months old.
How do I change the font color of the Name and Date?
In Step 3, right next to the Name and Date input boxes, there is a circular color picker tool. Click on it to select any color (like Red, Blue, or Black) for your text. Black is selected by default for formal documents.
Can I compress the image after adding the text?
Yes! In the final step (Step 4), before you download the file, you can enter a specific file size (for example, 20 KB or 50 KB). Our compressor will automatically reduce the photo's file size while preserving the clarity of your name and date.
