Compress your Aadhaar card for upload
Bank, exam, scholarship and job forms often ask for your Aadhaar card as ID proof, under a file size limit. Photograph or scan the card, pick the limit, and download a file that fits.
Your files stay on this device — nothing is uploaded.

How to compress your Aadhaar card
- Photograph or scan the card. Flat, in good light, filling the frame — or use the Aadhaar PDF’s pages as images.
- Pick the form’s limit. 200 KB is selected; choose 100 KB, 50 KB or type the limit your form shows.
- Compress and download. The file lands at or just under the limit, readable and upright.
What you can do
- Any KB limit. Quick picks from 20 KB to 1 MB, or type your own.
- Stays readable. Quality is lowered first; the image is only made smaller if it has to be.
- Front and back together. Need one file? Use JPG to PDF to put both sides in a single PDF.
- Nothing uploaded. Your Aadhaar card never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change my Aadhaar photo online?
No. UIDAI only changes the photo at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, where a new photo is taken with biometric verification. This page is for uploading your Aadhaar card as ID proof on other forms.
How do I put the front and back in one file?
Open JPG to PDF, add both photos and convert — you get one PDF with both sides. To put both on a single page, use “Open in editor” there and arrange them.
Should I share a masked Aadhaar?
Where a form accepts it, a masked Aadhaar (only the last four digits visible) is safer. You can download one from the myAadhaar portal.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs inside your browser. Your files are never sent to a server — open your browser’s Network tab while you work and you’ll see no file uploads.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.
