Why Do You Need This Tool?
If you are applying for government jobs in India (especially Staff Selection Commission), you know the strict rule:
“The photograph must not be more than 3 months old and the Date on which the photograph has been taken (DOP) must be clearly printed on the photograph.”
Many students try to edit this using mobile apps or MS Paint. The result?
- The text is too small or blurry.
- The text covers the chest or chin (causing rejection).
- The background of the text is not white.
PhotoKBβs Name and Date Tool solves this instantly. It automatically adds a high-contrast white strip at the bottom of your image and places your details in a bold, readable black font. This format is 100% compliant with SSC and NTA guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which date should I put on the photo?
A: You must put the Date of Photo (DOP), the day you actually took the picture. Do not put your Date of Birth (DOB). Putting your birthday instead of the photo date is a common mistake that leads to form rejection.
Q: Can I use this for Railway (RRB) exams?
A: Yes. Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) NTPC and Group D exams also accept this format. The white strip with the name and date is universally accepted across most Indian government forms.
Q: Does this tool reduce the image quality?
A: No. We overlay the text on your original image. However, if your original photo is very large (e.g., 5MB), we automatically compress it to a web-friendly size so you can upload it easily.
Q: Is it safe to upload my photo here?
A: Absolutely. This tool runs locally in your browser. Your personal photo is edited on your device and is never sent to or stored on our servers.
