Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Why do SSC, UPSC, and State PSCs mandate the Date of Photograph (DOP)?
Recruitment boards require the DOP printed directly on the photograph to ensure that applicants submit a recent portrait reflecting their current appearance. This prevents applicants from uploading outdated photos taken years prior, which leads to identity mismatches during exam hall biometric verification and document scrutiny.
Q:What is the UPSC 10-day rule for candidate photographs?
Under the updated UPSC Online Recruitment Application (ORA) and OTR instructions, the uploaded photograph must not be more than 10 days old from the date the online application window opens. Both the candidate’s full name and the date on which the photograph was taken must be clearly printed at the bottom of the photograph.
Q:What is the SSC 90-day (3-month) photo date rule?
For Staff Selection Commission exams (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, CPO), uploaded photographs must be taken not more than 3 months prior to the date of publication of the exam notification. Candidate name in CAPITAL LETTERS and Date of Photograph (DD.MM.YYYY) must be legibly printed on a white strip at the bottom of the photo.
Q:Will the white name strip cover my chin or shirt collar?
No. Kagazo features an interactive vertical position slider and zoom control. This lets you position your portrait upward within the 3.5×4.5 cm frame so the bottom banner rests neatly beneath your collar without obscuring your chin or facial contours.
Q:Should the candidate name be written in capital letters?
Yes. Official instructions from SSC, UPSC, and State PSCs explicitly recommend printing the candidate’s full name in BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS, exactly matching the spelling on your 10th standard / Matriculation certificate.
Q:Can I choose between "DOP: DD.MM.YYYY" or just the raw date digits?
Yes! Kagazo allows you to toggle between "DOP: DD.MM.YYYY", "DATE: DD/MM/YYYY", "DOP: DD-MM-YYYY", or raw numeric dates. You can also customize the background strip color between pure white (#FFFFFF) and high-contrast dark bars depending on your notification’s guidelines.
Q:What is the official photo dimension and file size standard for stamped exam photos?
The standard dimensions are 3.5 cm width by 4.5 cm height (approx 350 × 450 px or 413 × 531 px at 300 DPI). The file size must remain strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB in JPEG/JPG format. Kagazo automatically compresses the output within this permissible boundary.
Q:Can I use this tool for TNPSC One Time Registration (OTR)?
Yes. TNPSC OTR requires a white strip at the bottom containing candidate name and photo date. Kagazo’s preset matches the exact TNPSC 3.5×4.5 cm standard and locks file size between 20 KB and 50 KB.
Q:What happens if the date on my photo is older than the allowed period?
Recruitment boards conduct automated date parsing and manual scrutiny. If the date printed on your photo is outside the prescribed window (e.g. older than 10 days for UPSC or 90 days for SSC), your application will be summarily rejected without an opportunity for correction.
Q:Are my uploaded photos or personal names stored on your server?
Never. All typography rasterization, face panning, and JPEG compression take place 100% inside your browser’s volatile RAM via HTML5 Canvas. Zero bytes leave your device, and all image data is immediately erased when you close or refresh the page.
