What photo should I use in a marriage biodata?

Use a recent photo (within the last 6 months), taken in good lighting. Wear formal or semi-formal clothes. A plain or light-coloured background works best. Avoid sunglasses, heavy filters, or group photos. A professional-looking headshot or half-body shot is standard.

What should I write in partner expectations?

Be specific but not overly restrictive. Good examples: 'Educated, employed, family-oriented. Preferred age 27–33. Open to both working and homemakers. Same community preferred but not mandatory.' Avoid writing vague expectations like 'good person' or extremely long lists that seem impossible to meet.

Should I write my exact salary in the biodata?

Writing an approximate range (e.g. '₹8–10 LPA' or '₹12 LPA') is more common than an exact figure. You can also write 'Confidential' if you prefer not to disclose. The income field is optional — many people leave it blank or discuss it in person.

Can I add fields that are not in the standard form?

Yes — BiodataKit has an 'Additional Custom Details' section at the bottom of the form. You can add any field you want: Awards, Known Languages, Reference, Property details, or anything else specific to your family's requirements. Click '+ Add Custom Field' and type your label and value.

A step-by-step guide with filled examples. Takes about 5 minutes. No signup, completely free — download as PDF when done.

Step 1

Open BiodataKit and choose a template

Go to nxtcraft.github.io/biodatakit. You'll see 3 template options at the top of the form:

Classic — Traditional layout with bordered header. Best for conservative/traditional families.
Modern — Two-column layout with a coloured header band. Looks professional and polished.
Simple — Clean table-based format. Works well for printing on any printer.

💡 Tip: When in doubt, choose Classic — it's the most universally accepted format across all regions and communities in India.

Step 2

Upload your photo

Click the round photo circle on the form. Select a photo from your device. Your photo is only stored in your browser tab — it is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data saved on BiodataKit's servers?

No. Your data never leaves your browser tab. BiodataKit has no server — it's a static website. Your photo, personal details, and family information are only in your browser's memory while the tab is open. When you close the tab, everything is cleared.

Can I edit the biodata and re-download?

Yes — just keep the tab open and update any field. The preview updates instantly. You can download as PDF as many times as you want with different details. If you accidentally close the tab, you'll need to fill in the form again (the data is not stored).

What size should the photo be?

There's no strict size limit. The tool automatically resizes your photo to fit the allocated space. A photo of at least 300×400 pixels will look sharp in the PDF. Very small photos may look blurry — use the clearest photo available.

Can I share this biodata on Shaadi.com or Jeevansathi?

This tool creates a PDF document for direct sharing (WhatsApp, email, print). Matrimonial websites require you to create an account and fill their online form — they don't accept PDF uploads directly. However, many families share the PDF biodata alongside their online profile when seriously interested.
