How to use it

  1. Pick the card type. “Other” covers any card; set a custom size in mm if your card isn't the standard 85.6 × 54 mm.
  2. Choose “PDF file” for a downloaded e-card (DigiLocker, e-PAN, e-EPIC…) or “Photos of the card” to use your phone camera.
  3. Check the boxes or corners on the front — and the back, if your card has one. Drag them if they're off.
  4. Choose the layout, 1, 2 or 4 copies, and the fold-over option for a two-sided card.
  5. Tap “Create A4 PDF”, download it and print at “Actual size” / 100%. Save the JPGs for online forms.

One tool for every card

Most plastic ID cards are made in one standard size: 85.6 × 54 mm (ISO ID-1, the size of a debit card). That's the default here, so a card printed from a PDF or a photo comes out the size of the real thing. Not sure? Measure your card with a ruler. For an older or unusual card (a laminated paper ID, some college cards), choose Other → Custom size and type its width and height in millimetres.

Card typeWhat it changes
AadhaarFinds the front and back on the e-Aadhaar page; the back (address) is included
PANFront only by default — add the back if you need it
Voter IDFront (photo) and back (address) side
OtherBack optional, and a custom size in mm

The card type only changes the labels and which side is expected — the print size is always the size you chose.

From an e-card PDF

Downloaded cards — from DigiLocker, the e-PAN, the e-EPIC (digital voter ID), an Ayushman card or your college portal — usually show the card somewhere on an A4 page, sometimes at a different size, sometimes front and back on separate pages. The tool looks for card-shaped boxes on the page and puts a Front (and Back) box on them. Check the boxes, drag them if needed, and pick another page for a side that's on page 2. Password-protected PDFs ask for their password, which is used only on your device.

From photos of the card

No PDF? Photograph the card — front, then back — on a dark surface, flash off, phone held flat above it. The four corners are found and the photo is straightened into a clean card rectangle, even if you took it at an angle. “Enhanced” evens out the light and whitens the background; “Original” keeps the colours as shot.

Layouts

  • Side by side or one above the other, with thin grey lines to cut along.
  • 1, 2 or 4 copies on one sheet — for several forms at once.
  • Fold-over card: front and back joined along a dashed fold line, so the strip folds into one two-sided card.

Print at 100%, then check with a ruler

In the print window choose A4 paper and “Actual size” or 100% — never “Fit to page”, which shrinks everything. Under the cards there's a 50 mm line: if it doesn't measure 50 mm, the printer scaled the page.

JPGs for online forms

Forms that ask you to upload your ID card usually want an image of each side. Download the Front and Back JPGs: 1011 × 638 pixels at 300 DPI for a standard card, sharp enough to read and small enough for most portals. For a strict KB limit, use Compress Image to KB; to join both sides into one image, use Photo + Signature Joiner.

Private by design

ID cards carry your photo, date of birth, address and ID numbers. Everything here runs inside your browser: the PDF, its password and your photos are never uploaded. For Aadhaar specifically, see Aadhaar Card Print.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a PAN card or voter ID card for printing?

Plastic ID cards are usually the standard ID-1 size, 85.6 × 54 mm — the size of a debit card — and that's what this tool prints by default. Measure your card with a ruler to be sure; if it's different, choose Other → Custom size and type its size.

My PAN card has nothing on the back. Can I print just the front?

Yes. With PAN or Other selected the back is optional: leave it off and the page has only the front (or 2 or 4 copies of it).

The card in my PDF is bigger or smaller than the real card. Will it print at real size?

Yes. Whatever size the card is drawn at in the PDF, the box you place around it is printed at exactly the card size you chose — 85.6 × 54 mm unless you set a custom size.

The front and back are on different pages of my PDF. What do I do?

Tap “Back”, then choose its page in “Back is on page”. Place the box on the card on that page.

Why did my printed card come out smaller than the real card?

The printer scaled the page. Print again and choose “Actual size”, “100%” or the default scale in the print window — not “Fit to page”, “Fit to printable area” or “Shrink oversized pages”. Under the cards there's a line that should measure exactly 50 mm; check it with a ruler.

Can I get the front and back as separate images for a form?

Yes. After “Create A4 PDF”, download the Front JPG and Back JPG. Each is 1011 × 638 pixels at 300 DPI — the card at its real size — so it also prints at the right size. If a form needs a smaller file, shrink it with Compress Image.

Is my card uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF (and its password) or your photos are opened by your own browser, the card is cut out and the print PDF is made on your phone or computer. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is kept after you close the page.
