CNIC front and back in one PDF
Banks, landlords, and application forms often ask for both sides of a national ID card. A single PDF is easier to email than two loose photos—as long as the recipient accepts that format.
Scanning tips
- Place the card on a flat, contrasting surface; avoid flash glare on the chip strip.
- Capture front first, then back, in the same orientation (top edge up).
- Crop the gallery preview so edges are straight before export.
- Do not share CNIC PDFs in public chat apps—use the channel the organization requested.
Build the PDF
- Image to PDF — upload front and back photos in order.
- If you already have two single-page PDFs, use Merge PDF instead.
- If the portal rejects size, Compress PDF and re-read small text at 100% zoom.
