Aadhaar Photo Resizer
Resize photo to UIDAI Aadhaar specifications
What is Aadhaar Photo Resizer?
Aadhaar Photo Resizer is a free Farvixo tool that lets you resize photo to UIDAI Aadhaar specifications. It applies the issuing authority's published rules for pixel dimensions, file size, DPI and background, so the file is accepted the first time. Identity documents are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded anywhere.
How to use Aadhaar Photo Resizer
Add your file to Aadhaar Photo Resizer. It is processed entirely in your browser — important for identity documents, which never reach a server here.
Choose the form or authority you are applying to. Aadhaar Photo Resizer applies that body's exact rules for dimensions, file size, background and DPI, so you are not guessing at the requirements.
Save a file that already matches the upload specification, ready to submit without rejection for the wrong size or format.
Frequently Asked Questions
What photo specification does UIDAI require?
UIDAI enforces pixel dimensions, a file-size range and image quality together. This tool applies the current published specification in one step, rather than leaving you to satisfy the dimensions and then break the size limit.
Why does the Aadhaar portal keep rejecting my photo?
Almost always because only one of the two constraints was met. A generic resizer gets the dimensions right and leaves the file far too large, or compresses it under the limit at the wrong dimensions. Both have to be correct at once, which is what the preset here does.
Is it safe to use this for an identity document?
Your photo is processed entirely inside your browser and is never uploaded. That is precisely why this tool exists — an Aadhaar photo should not be passing through an unknown third-party image resizer.
How should I take the photo?
Face the camera straight on in even daylight, against a plain light background with no shadow behind your head, and stand far enough back that there is room to crop. A photo taken too close cannot be corrected afterwards.
Can I use a photo from my phone gallery?
Yes, as long as it is reasonably sharp and well lit. A modern phone photo has far more resolution than the specification needs, which gives the resizer room to work.
Are these requirements current?
They are checked against UIDAI's own published guidance and updated when it changes. Requirements can change without notice, so confirm against the portal you are submitting on — and tell us if you find a mismatch.
What you can use Aadhaar Photo Resizer for
- Applying online where the portal rejects photos for being the wrong size or file weight

Tips for better results
- Photograph against a plain light background in even daylight — no flash shadow behind the head.
- Confirm the specification against the portal you are actually applying on; requirements differ between authorities and occasionally change.
- Keep the compliant output file. Most applications ask for the same photo again at a later stage.
Common problems and how to fix them
The portal rejected the file for size
Portals enforce both pixel dimensions and a KB range. Select the exact portal preset rather than a generic resize, so both limits are met at once.
The face is cropped wrongly
Official specs fix the proportion of the frame the head must occupy. Re-upload a photo taken further back so there is room to crop correctly.
The background is not accepted
Shadows and off-white walls fail an automated background check. Re-shoot against a plain white or light-grey surface with even lighting.
