Technical specifications & privacy
Text and banner stamping execute 100% on-device in HTML5 Canvas memory at full photographic resolution. Font sizes and vertical centering are computed proportionally from the photo pixel dimensions to ensure sharp legibility on both screen previews and printed admit cards. Output can be saved as JPEG or lossless PNG retaining exact original dimensions and DPI metadata.
Common questions
Why do UPSC, SSC, and defence exams require Name and Date on photos?
Official recruitment commissions require candidate names and photo dates (Date of Photograph / DOP) to ensure the photo is recent (usually within 3 months) and to prevent identity impersonation. Photos without a clear DOP are frequently rejected during scrutiny.
What date should I put on the photo?
You should enter the date on which the photograph was taken (DOP), which must fall within the timeframe specified in your exam notification (typically not older than 10 days to 3 months from the notification date).
Which strip style is officially approved for government exams?
A clean white rectangle banner across the bottom with bold black capital letters is the standard format specified across UPSC, SSC, Air Force, and Navy application guidelines.
Does stamping reduce the sharpness or resolution of my original photo?
No. The banner and typography are rendered directly onto your full-resolution source image without downscaling or blurring existing pixels.
