The mark is printed over both cards. It does not make misuse impossible, but it makes a shared copy much harder to reuse.

Made on your device. Your CNIC photos are never uploaded to FileXL.

How do I put the front and back of my CNIC on one page?

Add a photo of the front and a photo of the back above. The tool finds the card edges and crops each side (or drag to fit it yourself), then places both on one A4 page at the real card size of 85.6 × 54 mm. Download the page as a PDF or JPG, or print it. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

How to make a CNIC copy on one page in 3 steps

No app, no account and no upload. It takes about two minutes.

  1. Add the front and the back

    Drop a photo of each side on the boxes above, choose them from your gallery, or take them with your phone. You can pick both files at once.

  2. Fit each card

    The tool finds the edges of the card for you. If it misses, drag the photo, zoom, tilt or turn it until the card fills the frame.

  3. Download or print the page

    Check the page preview, add an "Only for ..." mark if you want one, then save a PDF or JPG, or press Print. Print at 100% so the card keeps its real size.

Sizes

CNIC and ID card sizes

The tool uses the real card size by default, so a printed copy matches the card in your hand.

CNIC and common ID card sizes in millimetres and inches
CardSizeIn inchesNote
CNIC / Smart NIC 85.6 × 54 mm 3.37 × 2.13 in The usual bank-card (ID-1) size. This is the default.
NICOP / POC 85.6 × 54 mm 3.37 × 2.13 in Same card size as the CNIC.
Driving licence (smart card) 85.6 × 54 mm 3.37 × 2.13 in Same card size.
Bank, ATM and credit cards 85.6 × 54 mm 3.37 × 2.13 in Same card size.

Tips

How to photograph your CNIC for a clean copy

Most bad copies come from glare and a slanted photo, not from the tool. These six habits fix most of it.

Put the card on a plain, flat surface

A dark card on a light desk, or a light card on a dark one, lets the tool find the edges. Avoid a patterned cloth or a busy table.

Use daylight and no flash

Flash and a ceiling light leave a white glare on the laminate that hides the text. Stand by a window and hold the phone still.

Shoot straight from above

Hold the phone parallel to the card and keep all four corners in view. A slanted photo makes the card look like a trapezoid.

Get close, but keep the whole card in

The card should fill most of the photo. Every corner and edge must be visible, or the copy looks cut.

Check every number

Zoom into the preview and make sure the name, the number and the dates can be read. Offices reject a copy they cannot read.

Print at 100%

Choose Actual size, or Scale 100%, in the print window. "Fit to page" makes the card smaller or bigger than the real one.

Uses

Where is a CNIC copy needed?

Any place that asks for a copy of your identity card, front and back.

Bank accounts and loans

Banks ask for a clear CNIC copy, front and back on one page, for accounts, cards and applications.

SIM and utility connections

Telecom, gas, electricity and internet forms usually want a CNIC copy stapled to the form.

Passport, visa and licence forms

Attach one tidy page instead of two separate photocopies.

Admission and scholarship forms

Universities and boards ask for a copy of the student's or the guardian's CNIC with the form.

Job applications

Add a copy to the CV file. Mark it "Only for job application" so it cannot be reused for something else.

Sending a copy by email or WhatsApp

Save one PDF instead of two photos, and the "only for" mark goes with it.

Before you hand it over

Is a copy from this tool valid, and how do I keep it safe?

A copy made here is a normal copy. It is not an attested or verified copy. If an office wants an attested copy, take the printout to the person or office that attests copies, together with the original card.

Only copy your own card, or one you are allowed to copy. Pakistani media have reported shops that kept and sold customers' CNIC copies (ARY News report), which is one reason to make the copy yourself. NADRA has also said that photocopies are only needed in specific cases (ARY News), so ask the office whether it really needs paper.

Add an "Only for ..." mark, for example "Only for bank account opening", with the date. It does not make misuse impossible, but it makes a stolen or shared copy much harder to reuse.

Guides

CNIC copy guides for phone, printing and sharing

The quickest routes for the most common jobs.

Make a CNIC copy on your phone
  1. Put the card on a plain table in daylight, take a photo of the front and one of the back, then open this page in Chrome or Safari.
  2. Tap Choose photo on the Front box and pick both photos. The first becomes the front and the second the back.
  3. Check the preview, tap Download PDF, and print it or send it as one file.
Print the copy at real size
  1. Open the PDF, press Print, and pick your printer.
  2. Set Scale to 100% or Actual size, not "Fit to page", and margins to None or Default.
  3. Hold the printout against your CNIC to check that the sizes match.
Add an "Only for ..." mark
  1. Scroll to Purpose mark and type why the copy is needed, for example bank account opening, or tap one of the quick buttons.
  2. Leave "Add today's date" on, and pick a colour and strength. The preview shows it over both cards.
  3. Download the page. The mark is part of the picture, so it stays when you send or print it.
Print many copies on one sheet
  1. Under Page, set Copies to "Many copies (cut-out sheet)" and type how many you need, for example 10.
  2. Each row gets a front and, next to it, its back. A4 holds 5 rows at real size, so 10 copies use 2 pages. Tick "Fit all on one page" to shrink them onto a single page instead.
  3. Print at Actual size, cut along the borders, and every front and back stays together as a pair.
Put two copies on one page
  1. Under Page, set Copies to 2. Front and back are repeated, so you can cut the page in half.
  2. Choose Actual size, and turn Border on so you have a line to cut along.
  3. Print, cut, and keep one set for yourself.
Privacy

Private by design: your CNIC stays on your device

A CNIC is among the most sensitive photos you own, and most online copy tools ask you to upload it. This one does not. The card photos are opened, cropped, arranged and turned into the PDF inside your own browser, so they are never sent to FileXL or anyone else, and nothing is saved when you close the page.

Need something else? Use the passport photo maker for a 35 × 45 mm photo, the photo resizer to make a picture smaller in KB, the PDF merger to join documents, or the PDF compressor to shrink a PDF for a portal. Each one runs in your browser too.

FAQ

CNIC copy questions, answered

How do I make a CNIC copy on one page?

Add a photo of the front and a photo of the back to the tool above, let it crop both cards, and download the A4 page as a PDF or JPG, or press Print. The two sides are placed one above the other at the real card size. Everything happens in your browser.

How do I print the front and back of my CNIC on one A4 page?

Make the page here, open the PDF, and print it with Scale set to 100% (Actual size). Printing a normal two-photo document usually puts each side on its own page, which is why a one-page layout helps.

What is the size of a CNIC?

The Smart NIC and other bank-card size cards are 85.6 × 54 mm, which is 3.37 × 2.13 inches. The tool uses this size by default. If your card differs, choose Custom size and type the width and height in millimetres.

Can I make a CNIC copy from a photo taken with my phone?

Yes. Take one photo of each side on a plain table in daylight, with all four corners in view and no flash, then add them to the tool. It finds the card edges and crops them. A scanner gives the sharpest result, but a good phone photo is enough for most forms.

Is the copy attested or valid for official use?

It is a normal copy, not an attested one. Offices that want an attested copy need it stamped by the person or office that attests copies, with the original card. Most banks, SIM companies and forms accept a clear plain copy, but ask the office if you are not sure.

What does the "Only for" mark do?

It tiles a faint line such as "Only for bank account opening, 10 Nov 2026" across each card. It becomes part of the picture, so anyone who gets the copy can see what it was made for. It does not make misuse impossible, but it makes reuse harder.

Is my CNIC uploaded anywhere?

No. The photos are opened, cropped, arranged and saved inside your browser. They are never sent to FileXL or any other server, and nothing is kept when you close the page.

Does it work for NICOP, POC, driving licence and other cards?

Yes. Any card of the standard bank-card size works as it is, and any other size works with Custom size. The tool does not read the card, it only crops and arranges the pictures.

Why does the printed card look smaller or bigger than my real card?

The print window scaled the page. Choose Actual size or Scale 100% instead of "Fit to page", and set margins to None or Default. If you chose Bigger or Fill the page in the tool, the card is bigger than real on purpose.

Can I put two copies on one page?

Yes. Under Page, set Copies to 2. Front and back are repeated side by side, or one above the other if they fit better, and a thin border gives you a line to cut along.

Can I print 10 CNIC copies on one A4 sheet?

Yes. Under Page, set Copies to "Many copies (cut-out sheet)" and type 10. Each row has a front with its back next to it, so after cutting you have pairs. At real size an A4 sheet fits 5 pairs, so 10 copies use 2 pages. If you want all 10 on one page, tick "Fit all on one page"; the cards are then smaller than the real card.

Can I leave space for filing or stapling?

Yes. Turn on the extra left margin under Page. It leaves 1.5 inches on the left, so a hole punch or a binder does not cut into the card.

Can I make a black and white copy?

Yes. Under Look, choose Black and white copy for a photocopy-style page that saves colour ink, or Grey for a softer version. You can adjust brightness and contrast if the text is faint.

How do I save the copy as a PDF on my phone?

Tap Download PDF. The file goes to your Downloads (Android) or Files (iPhone), and you can send it from there by email or WhatsApp.

The tool did not find the card edges. What now?

Drag the photo and use Zoom and Tilt until the card fills the frame, or use the turn buttons if the card is sideways. A plain background and good light help the automatic crop next time.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

It is free to use, has no watermark, no sign-up and no daily limit. The "Only for" mark appears only if you type one.

Which photo formats work?

JPG, PNG and WebP. For an iPhone HEIC photo, open it in Safari, or first convert it with the HEIC to JPG converter.

شناختی کارڈ کی کاپی ایک صفحے پر کیسے بنائیں؟

اوپر والے خانوں میں شناختی کارڈ کے اگلے اور پچھلے حصے کی تصویر ڈالیں، ٹول خود کارڈ کو کاٹ لے گا، پھر A4 صفحہ پی ڈی ایف یا جے پی جی میں ڈاؤن لوڈ کریں یا پرنٹ کریں۔ دونوں طرفیں ایک ہی صفحے پر اصل سائز میں آتی ہیں۔

کیا میرے شناختی کارڈ کی تصویر کسی سرور پر اپلوڈ ہوتی ہے؟

نہیں۔ سارا کام آپ کے اپنے براؤزر میں ہوتا ہے، اس لیے آپ کے شناختی کارڈ کی تصویر FileXL یا کسی اور سرور تک نہیں پہنچتی۔

کاپی پر "صرف فلاں مقصد کے لیے" کیسے لکھیں؟

صفحے کے نیچے Purpose mark میں مقصد لکھیں، مثلاً بینک اکاؤنٹ کھولنا، اور تاریخ کا خانہ آن رکھیں۔ یہ تحریر دونوں طرفوں پر ہلکی لکیروں میں آ جاتی ہے اور تصویر کا حصہ بن جاتی ہے۔

Need to send the copy to someone?

Upload it to FileXL and share a link or a short code. Large files, no account needed.
