Aadhaar card front and back in one page

Photograph both sides of your Aadhaar card and the tool puts them on one A4 page, straight and at their real size, as a PDF or JPG, under 100, 200 or 500 KB if needed. You can cover the first 8 digits, as UIDAI's masked Aadhaar does.1

Which Aadhaar

Four forms, all equally valid.

UIDAI lists the letter, the PVC card, e-Aadhaar and the app: "All forms of Aadhaar are equally valid and acceptable."1

PVC cardPhotograph it

"A durable, credit-card-sized version of Aadhaar".1 The card this tool is made for.

Aadhaar letterA page, not a card

A "laminated paper based document".1 Copy it on a copier.

e-AadhaarPrint it as it is

It "is equally valid like Physical Copy of Aadhaar for all purposes".1 It's already a document.

Masking

Cover the first 8 digits.

The masked Aadhaar replaces "the first 8 digits of Aadhaar number with “xxxx-xxxx”".1 Black out a part does the same with a solid box.

Leave the QR code whole

It's "digitally signed by UIDAI and used for offline verification of identity", on every form of Aadhaar.1 Covering it defeats that check.

Ask first

Whoever asked for the copy decides if a masked number is enough.

Its size

Credit-card-sized, says UIDAI.

UIDAI gives no millimeters for the PVC card, so neither do we.

Measure your card. At 85.60 × 53.98 mm (ID-1)2 the default fits; otherwise choose Custom size.
