Choose the Aadhaar Card aspect ratio

This guide uses an 86:54 crop ratio, approximating the physical proportions of an Aadhaar Card. Confirm the requirements of the system receiving the upload before enforcing this ratio.

We can set the correct Aadhaar Card aspect ratio in the CropGuide customer dashboard, this will make sure your customers always upload correctly sized images.

  1. Select your website in the Customer dashboard.
  2. Scroll towards the Configuration heading.
  3. Then find Crop Aspect Ratio heading just below it. A screenshot of the CropGuide dashboard showing a text input to set a custom crop aspect ratio
  4. Now we enter 86:54 as the aspect ratio, which reflects the Aadhaar Card size in millimeters.
  5. Click Save.

Set minimum image dimensions

If you want to make sure images are of high enough quality you can optionally set the Minimum Crop Size field.

Now go to the form on your website, refresh the page so we’re sure our new settings have loaded.

Test the Aadhaar Card upload field

When using the image upload field on your WordPress website, CropGuide will now ensure every image is cropped to match the Aadhaar Card aspect ratio of 86:54.

Your customers can now correctly crop and rotate pictures of their Aadhaar Card saving you time having to crop the documents manually.
