Why do some exam portals reject photos with printed date stamps?

While older recruitment notifications required candidates to print their name and date of photo (DOP) at the bottom, modern automated portals like SSC reject these banners because they obscure collar lines and trigger facial scanner errors.

Does removing the strip change the photo aspect ratio?

No. The tool automatically rescales and crops the clean upper area into standard 350x450 pixel passport proportions with balanced headroom.

Can I adjust the thickness of the strip being removed?

Yes. Use the interactive slider to adjust the trimmed bottom height between 8% and 26% until the date text is completely eliminated.

Does the output file meet the 20KB to 50KB rule?

Yes. The output JPEG is automatically compressed into the 20 KB to 50 KB range required by government portals.
