Resize Image for Aadhaar Card
Resize your photo for Aadhaar-related applications (mAadhaar profile, Aadhaar-linked services, supporting docs). UIDAI-style spec: 100-300 KB, 3.5×4.5 cm, white background. Photo stays on your device.
Note: Aadhaar photo itself can only be updated via biometric re-capture at an enrolment centre — not via online upload. Use this tool for Aadhaar-related applications (mAadhaar profile picture, Aadhaar-linked KYC, supporting documents).
