The UIDAI online Aadhaar update portal (myAadhaar.uidai.gov.in) accepts document scans up to 2 MB, but the mobile update app and third-party enrolment centres often work best with images under 100 KB. This preset targets that stricter ceiling.

Frequently asked questions
- What size should an image be for Aadhaar card update?
- Aadhaar card update typically caps individual image uploads at 100 KB. The preset on this page is tuned to land at or under 100 KB while keeping the image sharp enough for the form or profile it's going into.
- Why is Aadhaar card update so strict about image size?
- Government and platform forms enforce hard byte limits to control server-side storage costs and processing time. Uploading anything over the cap fails the form immediately, so hitting the target reliably matters more than a perfect quality-per-byte ratio.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No — compression runs in your browser. That matters for Aadhaar card update because the source images (passport photo, ID scan, signature) are sensitive by definition. Nothing touches our servers.
- Do I need to resize, or just compress?
- Both. The preset applies a dimension cap (usually matching what Aadhaar card update expects) and a quality reduction. Cropping to the exact required aspect ratio (e.g. passport photo) should be done first with the crop tool if the source is landscape or otherwise misaligned.
- Will the compressed image still be accepted?
- Yes — the preset targets slightly under the platform's declared cap, so submissions typically go through cleanly. Print quality won't match a raw camera export, but is well within what Aadhaar card update verification requires.
