How to Resize Aadhaar Card Images for Government Portals
Step-by-step guide to Aadhaar photo dimensions, KB limits, and browser-based resizing for Indian government uploads.
2026-05-01 · 6 min read
Most Indian government portals reject Aadhaar uploads that are too large in file size or wrong in pixel dimensions. Cyber cafés and mobile users often get stuck re-exporting photos from WhatsApp — which adds compression artifacts.
Clawdage resizes and compresses locally in your browser so your Aadhaar scan never uploads to a third-party file host.
Typical Aadhaar upload requirements
Portals commonly ask for JPG or PNG between 20 KB and 200 KB, with square or passport-style crops. Always read the exact line on the form — SSC, UPSC, and state portals differ.
Use the ID & Photo Resizer tool with a preset close to the portal spec, then compress if the KB count is still high.
Quick workflow
1. Save a clear photo or scan (avoid blurry WhatsApp forwards).
2. Open Clawdage ID Resizer — pick dimension preset or enter width/height.
3. Compress to target KB if needed.
4. Upload to the portal and verify preview before payment.
