Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to scan my Aadhaar card with BharatScan?

Yes. BharatScan processes everything locally in your browser — your Aadhaar card image is never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never transmitted. It stays on your device throughout.

Should I scan front and back of Aadhaar?

Most portals (EPFO, bank KYC, job applications) require only the front side of Aadhaar. Some portals request both sides. BharatScan lets you add multiple pages to one PDF for front + back in a single file.

Will the QR code on my Aadhaar be scannable after compression?

Yes. BharatScan captures at high resolution and BharatDocSeva maintains sufficient DPI during compression to keep the Aadhaar QR code scannable. Avoid compressing below 100KB for Aadhaar cards.

Can I mask my Aadhaar number before uploading?

You can use UIDAI's official Masked Aadhaar download (uidai.gov.in) which shows only the last 4 digits, then scan that version with BharatScan. This is safer for portals that don't strictly require the full Aadhaar number.
