How to Resize Your Photo for Aadhaar

1. Open the converter — Go to WebConverter's Image to JPEG tool.
2. Select your photo — Drag and drop or tap to choose your photo. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
3. Convert to JPEG — If your photo is PNG, HEIC, or WebP, convert it to JPEG format instantly.
4. Verify the result — Check that the output file is between 20 KB and 50 KB. If the file is larger, try starting with a tighter crop around your face.
5. Download and submit — Save the JPEG and upload it to the UIDAI portal for your Aadhaar update.

Common Mistakes That Cause Rejection

• Wrong pixel dimensions — The UIDAI portal strictly requires 240 × 320 pixels. Photos that are even slightly off may be rejected.
• File too large or too small — The file size must be between 20 KB and 50 KB. Phone camera photos are typically 2–8 MB — far too large.
• Wrong format — Only JPEG is accepted. PNG, HEIC, and other formats will be rejected.
• Shadows on face — Take the photo in even, natural light to avoid shadows, especially around the nose and eyes.
• Ears not visible — Both ears must be visible in the photo. Push hair behind your ears if needed.
• Old photo — Use a recent photo. The UIDAI may reject photos that don't match your current appearance.

Tips for the Perfect Aadhaar Photo

• Use a white wall — Stand against a plain white wall or hang a white bedsheet behind you.
• Face the camera directly — Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression.
• Good lighting — Natural daylight from a window works best. Avoid using flash.
• Crop before converting — Crop your photo to show just your head and shoulders before converting to the required size.
• Check clarity — Make sure the photo is sharp and not pixelated after resizing.
