Marriage Biodata with Photo

How to Add Your Photo

The photo step is on the Contact screen, in the card called Your Photo.

1. Tap Upload Photo and pick a JPG or PNG photo from the phone.
2. The Adjust Your Photo screen opens. Drag the photo to move it, and pinch or use the slider to zoom, up to six times.
3. If the photo came out sideways, tap Rotate. Reset takes you back to the start.
4. Tap Use Photo. It now sits in the frame on the preview.

Later you can tap Adjust Photo to crop again, Change Photo for a new one, or Remove to take it off.

The Size and Shape of the Photo Box

Every design uses the same shape: a plain rectangle, 7 wide to 9 tall, like a passport photo. On a printed A4 biodata it comes to about 4.4 by 5.6 cm. There are no circles or arches, so a face is never cut at the sides.

Because the shape is fixed, the crop screen matters. Keep the top of the head a little below the top edge, and the shoulders in view. A face that fills the whole box looks cramped once it prints.

Choosing the Right Photo

Families look at the photo first, before the name. Some plain checks before you upload:

• Taken in the last six months or so. An old college photo surprises people later.
• Daylight from a window, facing it. Tube light at night turns the skin grey.
• A plain wall behind. A wedding crowd or a bike behind you pulls the eye away.
• The phone at eye level, not held high or low.
• No sunglasses, no heavy beauty filter, and nobody else cut out of the frame.

A saree, salwar, kurta or a formal shirt all work. Wear what you would wear to meet the family. Our post on photo tips for a marriage biodata has more on poses and clothes.

Can a Biodata Have More than One Photo?

Not here. Each biodata holds one photo. Most families send a second full-length photo separately on WhatsApp when the other side asks, and that keeps the biodata to one clean page.

Sharing a Biodata That Has a Photo

A biodata with a photo travels further than you expect, from one group to the next. For large community groups, some families send a version without the photo first, and the photo version only to families who reply.

Making both is easy. Download once with the photo, tap Remove, and download again. Our biodata without photo page shows how the designs look with no photo.
