| Property | Specification |

| Card Width | 86 mm (3.38 inches) |
| Card Height | 54 mm (2.13 inches) |
| Standard Format | CR80 (ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1) |
| Recommended DPI | 300 DPI (minimum 200 DPI) |
| Print Paper | A4 (210×297mm) or PVC card sheet |
| Color Mode | CMYK / Full Color |
What is the Aadhaar PDF Password?
UIDAI encrypts e-Aadhaar PDFs with a password to protect your personal data. The default password format combines the first 4 capital letters of your name followed by your birth year. For example, if your name is Rajesh Kumar and you were born in 1990, the password would be RAJE1990. If your name is shorter than 4 characters, use all available letters. This password is used only within your browser and is never sent to any server.
Paper vs PVC Card Printing
You have two main options for printing your Aadhaar card:
- Paper printing on A4: Suitable for lamination pouches. Download the A4 layout and print at home or at a local print shop. Laminate after printing for durability.
- PVC card printing: Produces a hard, credit-card-like result. Download individual card images and hand them to a PVC printing service. Cost is typically ₹30–₹80 per card at local shops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about cropping and printing your Aadhaar card.
How do I crop my Aadhaar card PDF for printing?
Upload your e-Aadhaar PDF using the tool above. The system automatically detects the front and back card areas from the UIDAI-issued PDF, crops them to 86mm × 54mm, and arranges them on an A4 print layout at 300 DPI — all in your browser within seconds.
What is the correct Aadhaar card size for printing?
The standard Aadhaar card dimensions are 86mm × 54mm (width × height), which matches the international CR80 ID card standard (same as a credit card). This tool automatically outputs at these exact dimensions. For best quality, always print at 300 DPI on glossy or matte photo paper before lamination.
Can I crop a password-protected Aadhaar PDF?
Yes. When you upload a password-protected e-Aadhaar PDF, the tool automatically detects the encryption and prompts you for the password. Your password is used only in your browser memory for that session and is never transmitted to or stored on any server. The default UIDAI password is your first four name letters (uppercase) followed by your birth year.
Is my Aadhaar data safe when using this tool?
Your privacy is fully protected. This tool is 100% browser-based — the PDF is processed using JavaScript on your own device. No file is uploaded to any server. No Aadhaar number, biometric data, or personal information is collected or transmitted. The file is automatically cleared from memory once you close the tab.
What file formats can I download?
You can download the A4 print layout as a high-resolution PNG image suitable for direct printing, as well as individual front and back card images in PNG format. These can be printed at any photo studio, cyber café, or PVC card shop. The PNG format is universally accepted by all print services.
Can I print my Aadhaar card on a PVC card?
Yes. Download the individual front and back card images and take them to a local PVC card printing shop. Inform the shop that the dimensions should be 86mm × 54mm. PVC-printed Aadhaar cards are durable, waterproof, and fit easily in a standard wallet. Printing typically costs ₹30–₹80 at most local print shops and cyber cafés.
Is this Aadhaar card crop tool completely free?
Yes, this tool is completely free with no usage limits, no account creation, and no watermarks on downloaded files. You can crop and download as many Aadhaar card layouts as you need. The tool is supported by non-intrusive advertisements that help keep it free for everyone.
