Carrying your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) at all times is essential, but sometimes, you might forget it at home. Thankfully, with digital copies stored on your phone or computer, you can quickly print a clear and usable version. Whether you need it for official documents, travel, or verification, this guide will show you how to print both sides of your CNIC on a single page in a few easy steps.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Capture High-Quality Images of Your CNIC (Front and Back)

To ensure clarity and readability:

• Use a high-resolution scanner or a smartphone with a good camera.
• Place the CNIC on a flat surface with good lighting.
• Avoid shadows and glare by adjusting the angle.
• Capture both sides separately, ensuring the text remains sharp and legible.

Step 2: Resize and Enhance the Images

After capturing the images, you may need to edit them for better readability. Here’s how:

• Resize and Crop: Use the Resize Tool to adjust the image dimensions so both sides fit on one page.
• Enhance Brightness & Sharpness: Use the Enhance Document Tool to adjust contrast and brightness for a clearer printout.
• Remove Background Noise: Use the Edit Image Tool to eliminate unnecessary shadows or marks.

Step 3: Merge Both Images on a Single Page

To merge both sides of your CNIC onto a single page, follow these steps:

1. Visit the StackAsian Crop & Merge Tool.
2. Upload both the front and back images of your CNIC.
3. Select an appropriate layout (side by side or one above the other).
4. Set the image size to fit an A4 page.
5. Adjust DPI to 300 for a high-quality print.
6. Click on Merge & Download to get the final image.

Step 4: Download and Print Your Final Document

After finalizing the arrangement:

• Download the edited file in PDF or JPEG format.
• Print on A4-size paper for best results.
• Use a high-quality print mode to avoid blurriness or smudging.
