Add Name and Date on Photo Online — Free, for Exam Forms

Some exam and recruitment forms reject a photo unless your name and the date it was taken are printed underneath it. Instead of going back to the studio, type both here: the tool adds a clean white strip under your photo, prints the name in capitals and the date, and saves it as a passport-size JPG at the file size you choose. It all happens on your device — the photo is never uploaded.

To add your name and date on a photo, type the name and the date the photo was taken, then upload the picture. The tool places the photo above a white strip, prints both lines in black and centred, crops it all to passport size (3.5 × 4.5 cm) and compresses it to the KB your form needs.

100% private — your images never leave your device. No upload, no sign-up. Check it yourself: once this page loads, it works with your internet switched off.

Which forms ask for a name and date on the photo

This is a requirement set by individual recruiting bodies, not a universal rule. Several state public service commissions and recruitment boards ask for the candidate’s name and the date the photograph was taken to be printed along the bottom of the photo, so it can be matched to the application and dated to the current cycle. If your notification asks for it, prepare the photo here; if it does not, upload a plain passport photo instead.

Read the exact wording in your notice. Some forms want only the name, some want the name and the date, and some also require the photo to have been taken on or after the notification date — in which case use a fresh photo, because no amount of editing makes an old photo recent.

If your labelled photo is rejected

Check the file against the notice one item at a time: the size in KB, the dimensions, and whether both the name and the date are present and readable. Upload the exact JPG you downloaded here, not a screenshot or a preview window. If the portal still rejects it, confirm whether it wanted a plain photo in the photo field and the labelled one elsewhere — a few forms keep them separate.

For a tighter file-size limit, compress the finished photo with our [compress image to 20KB](/tools/compress-image-to-20kb) tool, and if the form also needs your signature in the same image, use the [photo and signature joiner](/tools/photo-signature-joiner).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which forms need the name and date on the photo?

It's set by each recruiting body. TNPSC's official instructions, for example, require the candidate's name and the date of photography printed at the bottom of the photo. If your notification asks for it, use this tool; if it doesn't, upload a plain photo instead.

What date should I put on the photo?

The date the photo was actually taken. Many notifications also require the photo to be recent — some say it must be taken on or after the notification date — so take a fresh photo if yours is old.

Will the text be readable after compressing to 20KB?

Yes. The text is black on white and sized to fill the strip, which survives compression far better than fine photo detail. If your form allows 50KB, use it for the sharpest result.

What size photo does this make?

A passport-size JPG, 3.5 × 4.5 cm (about 413 × 531 pixels), with the name-and-date strip included in that frame — the standard size Indian exam and recruitment forms expect.

Is the name printed in capital letters?

Yes. The name is printed in black capitals and the date below it, centred on a white strip under the photo, which stays legible even after compressing to a small KB size.

Can I choose the file size, and will the photo stay sharp?

Yes. Pick the size your form needs from the selector above the upload box. The photo is rendered at a high resolution and the exact proportions your form expects, so it stays sharp — a larger size keeps more detail, while a smaller size softens the image slightly rather than turning blocky. The default matches the size most forms ask for.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your photo is read and processed on your own phone or computer and never sent to our servers or anyone else's. We never receive it, so we can't see, keep or share it — which makes it safe for sensitive documents like Aadhaar, PAN, passports and bank statements.

Is this tool really free? Is there a daily limit?

Yes, it's free with no daily limit. Because the work happens on your device, an extra photo costs us nothing — so there's no cap, no watermark and no account needed. Process as many files as you like.
