How to Crop and Print Your Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) Card
The Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) is the foundational digital health backbone introduced under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) by the National Health Authority (NHA), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. ABHA provides every Indian citizen with a unique, randomized 14-digit ABHA ID number and a customizable ABHA address (Personal Health Record / PHR handle such as yourname@abdm).
Carrying a physical ABHA card drastically accelerates hospital consultations. Under the NHA's "Scan and Share" initiative across AIIMS, state medical colleges, and district hospitals, patients scan hospital QR codes with their ABHA card to generate instant OPD registration tokens, cutting wait times from hours to minutes. When downloaded from the official portal, the ABHA document is formatted as a full portrait PDF. Our browser-based tool splits and formats your certificate into standard ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (CR80) PVC wallet dimensions in four simple steps:
Select File
Click "Select PDF File" to choose your downloaded ABHA card document from your smartphone or computer.
Auto-Crop
The system identifies the ABHA logo, 14-digit ID, citizen photograph, ABHA address, and national QR code.

CSC VLE & Cyber Cafe Production Guide for ABHA Health Cards
Patients, elderly citizens, and families frequently visit CSC kiosks and digital print shops to obtain durable plastic ABHA cards for OPD visits. Here are the three commercial fabrication workflows:
- Heavyweight Photo Paper + 250 Micron Lamination (Most Popular):
Print the A4 layout on premium 230–260 GSM high-gloss photo paper using genuine OEM inks. Cut precisely along the 2px perimeter border. Place front and back aligned inside an 85×54mm lamination pouch (250–350 micron). Pass through a heated pouch laminator at 125°C–130°C. This produces a water-resistant, rigid card that withstands frequent handling in hospital queues. - Dragon Sheet PVC Sandwich (Solid Plastic Card):
Print mirrored front and back graphics onto inkjet-coated transparent PVC film. Sandwich with a 0.46mm opaque white PVC core sheet and fuse using a commercial heat laminator at 135°C–145°C. Cut with a desktop manual CR80 punch die cutter. The result is a solid, bendable plastic card with subsurface printing immune to hospital sanitizer smudges. - Thermal Direct-to-Card (DTC) Printers:
For facilities using Zebra ZC300, Evolis Primacy, Magicard 300, or Fargo DTC series, download the individual Front PNG and Back PNG files. The 1011 × 638 px @ 300 DPI files are pre-formatted for direct ribbon printing without scaling artifacts.

Troubleshooting Common ABHA Card Issues
- ABHA vs PMJAY File Format: An ABHA card (14-digit ABDM health account) has a distinct layout from a PMJAY Golden Card. If your PDF has the golden Ayushman header, use our dedicated Ayushman Card Tool for precise border extraction.
- Hospital QR Scanner Readability: The national ABDM QR code contains encrypted patient demographic tokens. Always print using "Photo Paper Glossy" and "High / Best Quality" settings to ensure hospital OPD scanner guns read the code instantly.
- Print Scaling & Sizing: In your print setup dialog, ensure scaling is strictly set to "100%" or "Actual Size". Never select "Fit to Printable Area", which alters the calibrated 85.6 × 54.0 mm CR80 geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions About ABHA Card Printing
Common questions from citizens and CSC operators about ABHA digital health cards and hospital usage.
What is the difference between an ABHA Card and an Ayushman PMJAY Card?
An ABHA Card is a digital health identity account available to every Indian citizen to store diagnostic reports, prescriptions, and lab tests digitally under ABDM. A PM-JAY Golden Card is an income-targeted health insurance card providing ₹5 Lakh annual cashless treatment for eligible low-income families. Both cards can be linked together.
How is the ABHA Card used during hospital OPD visits?
Government hospitals and AIIMS centres utilize the "Scan and Share" system. Presenting your printed ABHA card allows hospital reception desks to scan your QR code instantly, retrieving demographic details without manual paper forms and generating an automated OPD token number.
Is my personal health and medical data protected?
No health details or ABHA records are ever permanently stored. Documents are transmitted securely via TLS 1.3 to an isolated ephemeral processing sandbox (-dSAFER -dNONETWORKACCESS) for 300 DPI rasterization, and temporary files are automatically purged within one hour.
What is the standard PVC card size for an ABHA Card?
The standard size is exactly 85.60 mm by 54.00 mm (CR80 standard), matching standard credit cards and identity cards.
Can I print multiple ABHA cards on a single sheet of A4 photo paper?
Yes. By utilizing our 0.35cm top margin layout, the card is positioned at the top of the A4 page. Cyber cafe operators can re-insert the paper or use our Multi-Card tool to combine up to 5 cards on a single A4 sheet to eliminate paper waste.
Is ID Makers affiliated with the National Health Authority (NHA) or ABDM?
No. ID Makers is an independent document layout utility designed for citizens and print kiosks. We do not generate 14-digit ABHA numbers or store electronic health records. All official ABDM operations must be conducted on abha.abdm.gov.in.
