Add Name & Date to Photo for Exam Forms
UPSC CSE and some State PSC forms require your name and the date the photo was taken to be printed on the photograph. Upload your photo, type your name, set the date — the tool prints it cleanly and resizes to your exam's requirement. No studio visit needed.
How to add your name and date onto your photo
- Upload your passport-style photograph.
- Type your name and the date exactly as your notification requires, and position the strip below the face.
- Download the photo with the text and upload it.
Which exams need this
A few recruitment boards — several SSC and state PSC forms among them — require the candidate’s name and the date of photography printed on the photo itself. A plain photo is rejected at verification.
Follow the wording
Use the exact name format and date format the notification gives. Keep the text inside a clear band below the chin so it does not cover the face.
Then resize
Add the text first, then resize to the pixel and KB limits, so the text scales with the image and stays legible.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my exam photo need my name and date on it?
Some forms (certain SSC and state PSC notifications) require it as a check that the photo is recent and belongs to you. Read your notification.
Where should the text go?
In a band below the face, not over it, in the name and date format the notification specifies.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The text is added in your browser.
Add the text before or after resizing?
Before. Then resize so the text stays sharp and correctly sized.

Frequently asked questions
Which exams require name and date on the photo?
UPSC Civil Services (CSE) requires the photograph to clearly show the candidate’s name and the date the photo was taken. Several State PSCs have similar rules. Always confirm the exact requirement in the official notification.
How do I add my name and date to an exam photo?
Upload your photo, type your name, pick the date the photo was taken, and optionally select your exam for the correct size. The tool prints the name and date on a band at the bottom of the photo. Download the ready file.
Does this tool upload my photo to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device. No login, no watermark.
