Quick Answer

To put an ID card both sides in one page: photograph the front and back, convert both images into one PDF with JPG to PDF, then open N-Up PDF and pick a 2-up layout so both sides land on a single sheet. It is free online, with no app and no sign up.

Why put both sides of an ID card on one page?

Government portals, college admissions, KYC forms, and HR onboarding often ask for a two-sided ID card in one page — front and back together so a single printout or upload shows everything. Sending two separate images gets rejected, and printing two pages wastes paper. The goal is one clean page with both sides, whether it is an Aadhaar, voter card, PAN, or driving licence.

Method 1: From photos — convert, then 2-up (recommended)

This is the most common case: you have a photo of the front and a photo of the back. Two free tools turn them into a single page.

  1. Take a clear, flat photo of each side. Good light, no glare.
  2. Open JPG to PDF and add both images. You get a single two-page PDF (front = page 1, back = page 2).
  3. Open N-Up PDF and choose a 2-up layout. The tool places page 1 and page 2 side by side (or stacked) on one page.
  4. Download the single-page PDF and print. Both sides now appear on one page.

This same flow handles a voter card both side in one page or any id card in one page online pdf request — the steps do not change with the document type.

Method 2: Merge two separate scans (front and back PDFs)

If a scanner gave you two separate PDF files — one for the front, one for the back — use Alternate Merge, which is built for exactly this: combining front/back scans into one document. Then run that combined PDF through N-Up PDF to land both pages on a single sheet.

  1. Open Alternate Merge and add the front PDF and the back PDF.
  2. Download the merged two-page PDF.
  3. Open N-Up PDF, choose 2-up, and download the single-page result.

Method 3: Side-by-side image (no PDF needed)

If you only need an image (not a PDF) — for a web form that accepts a single JPG — combine the two photos into one with Photo Collage. Place the front and back in a 1×2 or 2×1 grid, then download one image showing both sides.

Which method should you use?

  • You have two photos: Method 1 — JPG to PDF, then N-Up. Best for printing and PDF uploads.
  • You have two PDF scans: Method 2 — Alternate Merge, then N-Up.
  • The form wants one image: Method 3 — Photo Collage.

Printing tips for ID cards

1

Keep both sides the same scale

Crop the front and back to the same dimensions before converting so the 2-up layout lines them up evenly. Use Crop PDF to trim whitespace.

2

Print at 100%, not “fit to page”

If the card must be actual size, set your printer to 100% scale. “Fit to page” can shrink or enlarge the card unpredictably.
