JPEG + Smart + 800px meets UIDAI requirements

Compress Photo for Aadhaar Update | MiniPx — Free, Fast & Private

Updating your Aadhaar card photo online requires meeting UIDAI specifications. The photo must be in JPEG format, under 240KB, with clear facial features visible. MiniPx helps you meet these requirements precisely.

For Aadhaar photo updates: use JPEG format with Smart preset and 800px max width. This typically produces files of 80-200KB — well within the 240KB limit while keeping the photo clear enough for identification.

The photo should be a recent passport-style image with a white or light background. Face should be clearly visible without sunglasses or heavy shadows. MiniPx compresses the image without affecting the clarity needed for ID purposes.

MiniPx shows the exact file size after compression so you can verify it meets UIDAI requirements before uploading to the Aadhaar self-service portal or submitting at an enrolment centre.

Your Aadhaar photo stays private. MiniPx processes everything in your browser — your identity document is never uploaded to any server during compression.

How it works

Upload your photo: Add a recent passport-style photo with white or light background.
Set JPEG + Smart + 800px: This combination produces files under 240KB while maintaining clarity for identification.
Verify file size: Check that the compressed size is under 240KB. If over, reduce width to 640px.
Download and submit: Save and upload to the UIDAI Aadhaar update portal.

Frequently asked questions

What are Aadhaar photo requirements?

UIDAI requires JPEG format, file size under 240KB, recent passport-style photo with white or light background. Face should be clearly visible and cover most of the frame.

Can I update my Aadhaar photo online?

Yes. UIDAI allows photo updates through the myAadhaar portal (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in). You need your Aadhaar number and registered mobile number for OTP verification.

My photo is still over 240KB after compression

Reduce the max width to 640px or switch to Tiny preset. A 640px Smart JPEG is typically 40-120KB, well under the limit.

Is my Aadhaar photo safe on MiniPx?

Yes. MiniPx processes images entirely in your browser. Your photo is never sent to any server — the safest way to prepare identity documents.

What dimensions should the Aadhaar photo be?

UIDAI does not specify exact pixel dimensions, but recommends clear, identifiable photos. 800px width produces excellent quality for Aadhaar updates.

Can I compress my Aadhaar signature too?

Aadhaar updates typically require only a photograph, not a signature. If you need a signature for other purposes, MiniPx handles signature compression with the same privacy.
