Correct Aadhaar card print size
Aadhaar PVC cards follow the international ID-1 (CR80) standard, the same size as ATM and debit cards. Stretching the cropped image by hand in Photoshop or Word distorts the photo, text and QR code, and the card won't fit wallet slots or lamination pouches. This tool keeps the ratio locked and outputs the exact size.

FAQ
Is my Aadhaar uploaded to any server?
No. The PDF is opened and cropped entirely inside your browser. No file leaves your device.
What is the e-Aadhaar PDF password?
The first 4 letters of the name as printed on Aadhaar, in capital letters, followed by the year of birth (YYYY). Example: SURESH, born 1985 → SURE1985.
The auto-crop is slightly off. What do I do?
Drag the FRONT or BACK box onto the card and resize it with the round handle. The ratio stays locked, so the card can't stretch.
Which layout is best for lamination?
Use "Fold & laminate". Cut around the pair, fold on the dotted line so the back sits behind the front, then laminate.
Can I print this on a PVC card printer?
Yes. Choose "PVC card printer". Each page is exactly 85.6 × 54 mm, with the front on page 1 and the back on page 2.
