What is a marriage biodata?
Print a marriage biodata on A4 (210 × 297 mm) at 300 DPI, with margins of at least 12–15 mm on every side. Anything closer to the edge risks being trimmed by the printer, and anything below 300 DPI shows visible softness on the photo and the decorative border.
The printed copy is what gets handed across the table at a first meeting, and it is judged on paper quality and clean edges before a word of it is read.

What to include in your biodata
The specifics that matter
- Page size: A4, 210 × 297 mm — The Indian standard. US Letter is 6 mm narrower and 18 mm shorter, which shifts a carefully fitted one-page layout.
- Resolution: 300 DPI — The print standard. 150 DPI looks acceptable on screen and visibly soft on paper.
- Margins: 12–15 mm minimum — Most home and shop printers cannot print to the edge, and will silently crop what falls inside that band.
- Paper: 100–170 gsm matte — Ordinary 70 gsm copier paper feels flimsy in the hand; matte photo paper at 170 gsm is what print shops use for this.
- Colour: leave as RGB for shop printing — Most Indian print shops handle RGB PDFs directly. Only convert to CMYK if the shop specifically asks.

What goes wrong
Each of these is common, and each is visible the moment you open the file yourself before sending it.
- Exporting at screen resolution and printing it, which makes the deity artwork and border look grainy.
- Setting a decorative border right at the page edge, where the printer crops it.
- Printing on thin copier paper, which undercuts an otherwise well-made page.
- Using US Letter by default, which breaks a layout designed to fit A4 exactly.

300 DPI for print. Lower resolutions look fine on a screen but show visible softness on the photograph and any decorative border once printed.

100–170 gsm matte. Standard 70 gsm copier paper feels flimsy in the hand, which works against an otherwise well-presented page.
