Everything runs in your browser — your photo never leaves your device. Always verify specs against the latest official notification before final submission.
Before you upload to UIDAI
- Use a recent photo and save the final file as JPG.
- Confirm the image is exactly 160 x 200 pixels before submitting.
- Keep the file between 20 KB and 50 KB to avoid portal upload errors.
- Use a plain light background with no patterns, shadows or extra border.
Common rejection checks
Most Aadhaar Update upload failures come from the same small issues: wrong pixel size, wrong file type, a file just above the KB limit, or a crop that leaves too much blank space. This page targets the 160 x 200 px and 20-50 KB specification so you can download a ready-to-upload file and still inspect it before final submission.
If your source image is from an iPhone, convert HEIC to JPG first. If the background is not clean enough, use the background remover before running the final resize.
Improve an Aadhaar photo before resizing
If your source image is dim or low-contrast, improve it before resizing. A resize changes dimensions and file size; it cannot restore detail that is missing from the original.
Use the enhancer only for light corrections
Adjust brightness, contrast, and sharpness gently. Avoid beauty filters or edits that change facial features. For an official identity workflow, a clear natural image is better than an aggressively edited one.
