Complete Guide: How to Add Date on Photo for SSC Online?

Applying for SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, or GD Constable exams requires a very specific photograph format. The most common reason for form rejection is an incorrect photograph. Our SSC Photo Date Adder simplifies this process by ensuring your photo meets every single technical requirement automatically.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Upload Your Image: Click on the "Select Image" button and choose your passport-size photo from your mobile or computer gallery.
  2. Crop to Perfection: Unlike other tools that stretch your image, our built-in cropper allows you to select the face area. The aspect ratio is locked to 3.5:4.5 to ensure the final output is never distorted.
  3. Enter Details: In the editor, select the "Date of Photo" (DOP). This is the date you clicked the picture. SSC notification usually requires a photo not older than 3 months. You can also add your name if required.
  4. Adjust Compression: Use the slider to set the file size. For SSC, keep it between 20KB and 50KB. For UPSC, it might differ. Our tool gives you live feedback.
  5. Download: Click the download button. The tool processes the image in your browser (ensuring privacy) and saves a JPEG file ready for upload.

Why is "Date of Photo" Mandatory?

Staff Selection Commission (SSC) introduced the rule to ensure that the candidate's appearance hasn't changed significantly from the time of application to the time of the exam. The date printed on the photo acts as a declaration that the photograph is recent (usually taken within the last 3 months of the notification date).

Common Photo Issues & Solutions

Issue: "File too small"

If your file is under 20KB, the server rejects it. Use our slider to increase quality or choose a better source image.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to put my name on the photo for SSC?

Generally, SSC only explicitly asks for the "Date of Photo". However, some specific notifications might ask for both Name and Date. Always check the official notification. Our tool allows you to add both or just the date.

Can I wear glasses in the SSC photo?

NO. This is the #1 reason for rejection. You must not wear spectacles, even if they are clear/transparent. Take them off for the photo. Also, do not wear caps or hats.

Is my photo saved on your server?

No. We use client-side processing technology. Your photo never leaves your phone or computer. All cropping and resizing happen locally in your browser, ensuring 100% privacy.
