Make a photo with name and date for exam forms
Some recruitment forms reject a photograph unless the candidate’s name and the date it was taken are printed below the face. This photo with name and date maker adds that white strip to your own photo, crops it to the exact pixel size, and saves a JPG inside the KB range the form allows — all in your browser, without uploading the picture anywhere.
Presets follow the official notices: TNPSC asks for 130 × 170 pixels with 55 pixels for the name and date and a 20–50 KB file at 200 DPI; UPSC asks for the name and the date the photo was taken on a photo no more than 10 days old, 20–200 KB. NTA (NEET, JEE, CUET) only needs a plain passport photo of 10–200 KB, so the strip starts switched off there.
How to use the Photo with Name and Date Maker
- Click Choose your photo and pick a recent, clear passport-style photo with a plain background.
- Choose the exam format, then type your name exactly as in your application.
- Check Date the photo was taken — it is filled from the camera date when the file has one.
- Zoom and drag the preview until your face fills the frame the way the notice describes.
- Click Download JPG. The file is saved at the right pixel size and inside the KB limits.
Photo with Name and Date Maker features
Official sizes
TNPSC 130 × 170 px (115 photo + 55 text), UPSC and NTA presets, or any custom width, height and strip height.
Hits the KB range
Finds the highest JPG quality under the maximum; if the file is under the minimum (common at TNPSC’s small size) it pads the file with a JPEG comment block — the picture itself is not changed.
Real DPI
Writes 200 DPI (or your value) into the JPG header, as TNPSC specifies.
Camera date
Reads the date the photo was taken from the file’s EXIF data, so you don’t have to guess.
Private
Your photo never leaves your device.
Photo rules by exam (checked October 2026)
Always read your own notification: rules change between exams and years, and the notice overrides any tool. For a plain passport photo without text, the passport photo maker or image resizer may suit you better; for the signature, use the signature resizer.

Getting it accepted first time
- Use a studio-quality photo when the notice says so — TNPSC rejects selfies, phone snaps of printed photos and outdoor pictures.
- The date is when the photo was taken. TNPSC wants it on or after the notification date; UPSC within 10 days of the application opening.
- Keep your face large: about three-quarters of the photo area for UPSC, 80 % for NTA, both ears visible.
- Name the file as asked — TNPSC wants Photograph.jpg, which this tool uses for the TNPSC preset.
Photo with Name and Date Maker FAQ
How do I make a photo with name and date for TNPSC?
Choose the TNPSC preset, add your photo, type your name and the date the photo was taken, then download. You get Photograph.jpg at 130 × 170 px with a 55 px name and date strip, 20–50 KB at 200 DPI.
Can I make a photo with name and date online for UPSC?
Yes. The UPSC preset adds your name and the date taken below a 350 × 450 px photo and keeps it between 20 and 200 KB. UPSC wants the photo to be at most 10 days old when applications open.
Why is my TNPSC photo padded?
A 130 × 170 JPG is usually only 6–15 KB even at top quality, but TNPSC requires at least 20 KB. The tool adds blank comment data inside the JPG to reach the minimum; the image pixels stay exactly the same.
Does NEET need a photo with name and date?
Not in the NEET (UG) 2026 bulletin: it asks for a passport-size photo, 80 % face, white background, 10–200 KB. Earlier years differed, so check your bulletin.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
Can I change the date to today?
Only if the photo was taken today. The rule is the date of photography, and a wrong date can get an application rejected.
