What date format should I use for the date of photo (DOP)?

Use the date format and prefix required by the active application instructions. ImgCon offers DOP:, Date:, or no prefix and displays the selected date as DD-MM-YYYY.

Will adding a name and date change my passport photo dimensions?

ImgCon exports a 700 by 900 pixel JPEG canvas, a 7:9 ratio corresponding to 3.5 by 4.5. The white label overlays the bottom of the photo; verify the exact dimensions and composition required by your exam.

Are my photo and personal details uploaded to ImgCon?

No. The photo and entered name and date are processed locally in your browser using an HTML canvas and are not sent to an ImgCon image-processing server.

Q: Why do SSC forms reject a photo without a name and date?

Some exam notices or application fields ask for the candidate's name and date of photograph on a clear white strip. Rules vary by recruitment cycle, so check the current notice and preview the final image before uploading.

Add your candidate name and date of photograph (DOP) on a clean white strip for SSC, UP Police, Bihar Police, Railway and state exam applications. Preview the result, choose a JPEG size target, and download it directly from your browser. Always confirm the active exam notice before submitting.
