Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aadhaar photo size?
100-300 KB JPG/PNG. UIDAI doesn't mandate exact pixel dimensions but recommends 600×600 px (1:1 square) for clearest display. Plain background. Recent photo within last 12 months.
Can I update Aadhaar photo online?
Yes for some details (address, mobile, email). For photo update specifically, you must visit an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre — UIDAI doesn't allow remote photo updates to prevent identity fraud. The online "photo upload" is for supporting documents, not the Aadhaar photo itself.
What background for Aadhaar photo?
Plain light background (white or light grey preferred). UIDAI is less strict than Passport — light cream or pale blue acceptable. Use the background remover for a clean white background.
Is my Aadhaar photo public?
No. Aadhaar photo is stored encrypted by UIDAI. e-Aadhaar PDF you download has your photo visible — protect this file. Don't share Aadhaar PDF on social media.
Compress Aadhaar photo without quality loss?
For 200 KB target, JPEG quality remains ~88 — visually indistinguishable from original. The tool maintains face sharpness while reducing file size.
