Photo with name & date for each exam
Most Indian competitive exams ask you to write your name and the date the photo was taken across the bottom. Here's where it goes for the common ones — the white-strip style matches what these portals expect. Always confirm the exact wording in your official notice.
Adding the date on a photo for SSC forms
SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS) wants your name and the photo date printed clearly below the picture. Keep the white strip, use a medium size, and write the date as dd/mm/yyyy so it stays readable after the portal compresses your upload.
TNPSC photo name and date requirement
TNPSC asks for both on the photograph itself. The "Name · Date" alignment puts your name on the left and the date on the right of one row, so neither gets cut off when the form shrinks the image.
| Exam | Name & date placement | Tool tip |
|---|---|---|
| SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS) | Name and the photo date printed clearly below the photo | White strip, medium size |
| TNPSC | Name and date on the photograph | "Name · Date" split keeps both legible |
| IBPS / bank exams | Name and date across the bottom of the photo | Black text on the white strip |
| NEET | Name plus the date the photo was taken | Tap "Use today's date" |
| State PSC (UPPSC, WBPSC, MPSC) | A dated, recent photo below the image | Trim any old strip, then re-add |
Tips for a name and date that gets accepted
- Write the date as dd/mm/yyyy unless the form asks otherwise — that's the format most Indian portals expect.
- Keep black text on a white strip for scanned forms — it stays sharp after the portal compresses your upload.
- Don't cover the face. Use the "white strip below" style so the name and date sit under the photo, not over it.
- Use a medium text size so the name and date are still readable if the form shrinks the image.
- Take a fresh photo if the notice says "recent" — then stamp today's date on it.
Adding a name and date to a passport photo
Need a dated passport photo specifically? Use the dedicated passport size photo with name and date tool — it crops to a passport size and prints the details below in one step. Otherwise, make the passport crop with the passport photo maker and add the name and date here.

Why forms ask for a photo with your name and date
Competitive exams and job portals ask for a named, dated photo so they can prove the picture is recent and actually belongs to you. Writing your name and the date the photo was taken across the bottom ties the photograph to your application and the current recruitment cycle — it stops old or borrowed photos from being reused.
A name and date editor like this one adds that line cleanly on a white strip below the photo, which is the format most notices describe. You get an upload that matches the requirement without Photoshop, a print shop, or sending your photo to a server — everything happens in your browser and nothing is stored.
FAQ
Common questions
How do I add a name and date to a photo online?
Upload your photo above, type your name and the date, and pick the white-strip style. It's drawn onto the photo instantly — then hit Download. It's free and nothing is uploaded, so it all happens in your browser.
How do I write the date on a photo for SSC or PSC forms?
Keep the "White strip below" style — that matches what SSC, TNPSC, and state PSC forms expect. Type your name on one line and the photo date below it, use a medium text size so both are legible, and download the JPG.
Can I change or edit a name and date already on a photo?
Yes. Use the "Trim old name/date from bottom" slider to crop off the existing strip, then type the correct details. The old one is replaced cleanly — no photo-editing app needed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Your photo never leaves your device — the text is added locally in your browser, so it stays private. Safe for ID and exam photos.
Can I add a name and date to a passport size photo?
Yes. Crop it to passport size first with the passport photo maker, then upload it here and add both on the white strip below.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can stamp your photo straight from your phone before uploading the form.
What date format should I use?
Type the date however your form wants it — the date field is free text. Most Indian portals expect dd/mm/yyyy (for example 04/09/2026), and "Use today's date" fills that format automatically.
Will adding the name and date reduce the photo quality?
No. The photo is kept at full resolution and the JPG is saved at high quality — only the name and date are drawn on. If your form has a KB limit, shrink the result afterwards with the image compressor.
Can I put the name on the left and the date on the right?
Yes. Choose the Name · Date alignment and the name sits on the left with the date on the right of one row — the layout many exam forms use. Left, Center, and Right are there too.
Which file formats can I use?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo. The finished photo with the name and date is saved as a JPG, which is what almost every exam and job form asks for.
