Questions and answers about the marriage biodata maker. Everything it does happens in your browser.
Last Updated: November 3, 2026
1. General Questions
Q1: What is Biodata Maker?
A1: A marriage biodata maker that runs in your browser. You fill in the details section by section, choose one of ten designs and download the biodata as a PDF, a JPG or PNG picture, a Word document or a WhatsApp message. The page beside the form is the real page, so what you see is what prints. It works in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati, and it can work out the Rashi and Nakshatra from the birth time.
Q2: How much does it cost?
A2: Nothing. It is free, with no registration, no watermark and no limit on how many biodatas you make or download. Like every page on ZeroDataUpload, it is supported by advertising.
Q3: Do I need to install anything or create an account?
A3: No. Open the page in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Opera) on a phone, tablet or computer. Your biodatas are kept in that browser, so there is nothing to sign in to.
Q4: Does it send my details or my photo anywhere?
A4: No. The biodata, the photo and the kundli picture are put together in this browser, and nothing you type into the tool is sent to a server. The page itself loads the site's ads and analytics, as every page on the site does; the Privacy Policy explains those, and what you type is never part of them. The page title never changes to show the name you type.
2. Filling In the Biodata
Q5: What should a marriage biodata include?
A5: Families usually look for the name, the date, time and place of birth, the height, the education and the occupation, the parents' names and work, the brothers and sisters, the horoscope details if your community asks for them, a few lines about the person, what you look for in a partner, and a contact person with a mobile number. A clear, recent photo matters a lot. Keep it to one page.
Q6: Can I leave out lines I do not want to share?
A6: Yes. Only filled lines are printed, so an empty line never appears. To keep a line in the form but off the page, open its menu (the three dots) and choose Leave off the biodata; Add a line brings it back. A whole section can be left off from its own menu, and what you typed in it is kept.
Q7: Can I add my own lines and sections?
A7: Yes. Add a line in any section lists the lines that start hidden, such as Blood Group, Sub-caste, Kuldevta, Maternal Uncle, Devak, Property and Relatives, and offers A line of my own with your own label and value. Add a section, under the last section, adds a section with its own heading.
Q8: Can I rename or reorder the lines?
A8: Yes. Each line's menu renames it on the biodata (only in the current language, so "Native Place" can read "Native Village"), and moves it up or down. Each section's menu renames its heading and moves the whole section.
Q9: How is the age worked out?
A9: From the date of birth, on the day you print or download. A typed age goes out of date; one worked out from the date of birth never does, so the Age line fills itself once the date of birth is in.
Q10: Is there an example to start from?
A10: Yes. See it filled with an example, on a new biodata, fills it with a made-up bride or groom in the chosen language, with an outline instead of a photo. Replace it section by section, or make a new blank one from Your biodatas. Check reminds you to replace the example photo and the example mobile number.
3. Languages
Q11: Which languages can the biodata be in?
A11: English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. Every heading and label, the title, the date, the time of birth, the height and the choices you pick from a list (such as Never married, Vegetarian, Joint family, the Rashi and the Nakshatra) are written in that language. A religion or mother tongue you type is translated when it matches a known one.
Q12: How do I type names in Hindi, Marathi or Gujarati?
A12: What you type is printed exactly as you type it, so switch your keyboard to the language you want. On a phone, Gboard and SwiftKey turn English letters into Devanagari or Gujarati as you type; on a computer, add the language's keyboard in the system settings.
Q13: Can I have the same biodata in two languages?
A13: Yes. Under Your biodatas, make a copy of the biodata, then change the copy's language under Design. Each copy keeps its own photo and design.
Q14: Can the digits be in Devanagari or Gujarati?
A14: Yes. With Hindi, Marathi or Gujarati chosen, Design offers the digits in dates, times and heights as 1 2 3 or in the script, such as १ २ ३.
4. Horoscope Details
Q15: How does it work out the Rashi and Nakshatra?
A15: Fill in the date and the time of birth under Personal Details, open Horoscope Details, choose the time zone of the place of birth and press Work out. It finds where the Moon was among the stars at that moment, in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa that Indian panchangs use, and fills the Rashi, the Nakshatra and its charan, the gan and the nadi.
Q16: How accurate is it?
A16: We checked it for 6,000 birth moments from 1940 to 2026 against an astronomical ephemeris: the Moon's place agrees to within a minute of birth time. The bigger question is usually the birth time itself. The Moon crosses one charan in about six hours, so when the birth time is within 20 minutes of a change of charan, the tool says so; a time written down a few minutes late can change the charan.
Q17: Why does it ask for the time zone?
A17: The Moon's place depends on the exact moment, and the same clock time means a different moment in another country. For a birth in India, keep India (UTC+5:30); for a birth abroad, choose the zone that was in force there on that day, summer or winter time included.
Q18: My kundli says something different. Which is right?
A18: Keep the kundli. The result here is for reference. An astrologer may have used a corrected birth time or a different ayanamsa, and families compare biodatas by what the kundli says. Check shows a suggestion when the Nakshatra you typed differs from the birth time, and you can leave it.
Q19: Why do gan and nadi fill in by themselves?
A19: They follow from the Nakshatra: each Nakshatra has one gan (Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa) and one nadi (Adi, Madhya or Antya). Choosing a Nakshatra fills them, and with the charan it also fills the Rashi. Check points out a Rashi, gan or nadi that cannot go with the Nakshatra, with a button to correct it.
Q20: Can I add a picture of my kundli?
A20: Yes. Kundli in Horoscope Details takes a photo or scan of the chart, printed beside the horoscope details. It is optional.
5. Design and Printing
Q21: Which designs are there?
A21: Ten: Royal (a gold double frame), Heritage (kumkum red with a temple border), Mandala, Floral, Kasavu (cream with gold stripes), Arch (a temple arch over the name), Elegant (a deep band at the top), Modern (a coloured side panel), Classic table (prints well in black and white) and Minimal. Each has its own colour sets, fonts and photo shape.
Q22: Can I choose the symbol and the line at the top?
A22: Yes. The symbols are Shri, Om, Swastik, Kalash, Lotus, Diya, Ik Onkar, Cross, Crescent, Dharma wheel, none, or a picture of your own, such as your family deity. The lines include Shri Ganeshaya Namah, Om Namah Shivaya, Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Shri Ram, Shri Swami Samarth, Jai Mata Di, Jai Jinendra, Namo Buddhaya, Ik Onkar Satgur Prasad, Bismillah and With the blessings of God, or a line you type yourself. Typing a religion sets a fitting symbol and line for you, with Undo.
Q23: How does the biodata fit on one page?
A23: With Fit on one page turned on, the text is made as large as the page allows, between 8 and 12.5 points, and the spacing is spread so the page is full. Short lines go two to a row when that keeps the text clearly larger. What still does not fit carries on to a second page, and Check suggests what to shorten.
Q24: Can I choose A4 or US Letter?
A24: Yes, under Paper in Design. The page, the PDF and the pictures follow it.
Q25: How do I print it?
A25: Download, then PDF for printing. The print window opens with only the biodata in it: choose your printer, or Save as PDF, with margins None and Background graphics on. The page is laid out in millimetres, so it prints at the size you see.
6. The Photo
Q26: What kind of photo works best?
A26: A clear, recent photo in daylight, with the face in the upper half and the shoulders in the frame. A photo straight from the phone's camera is best; a photo saved from a chat is often too small and prints blurred, which Check points out.
Q27: How do I move or zoom the photo?
A27: After you choose a photo, drag it in the window to move it, and zoom with the slider or the mouse wheel. Turn rotates it by a quarter. With the keyboard, the arrow keys move it and plus and minus zoom. Move and zoom, beside the photo, opens the window again later.
Q28: Does the photo keep the camera's details?
A28: No. Only the framed picture is kept, drawn again by the browser, so the camera model, the date and the place where the photo was taken are not in it, nor in any file you download.
7. Downloads and Sharing
Q29: Which formats can I download?
A29: PDF for printing (through the print window, with sharp text), a PDF file that downloads at once, a JPG picture, a PNG picture, a Word document, the details as Text for WhatsApp, and a backup file. A biodata of two pages gives one picture per page.
Q30: Which one should I send on WhatsApp?
A30: The JPG picture, because it opens straight in the chat. Send the PDF file when the other family will print it. On a phone, the Share button sends the picture or the PDF to WhatsApp or another app directly.
Q31: Do the files carry hidden details?
A31: No. The PDF has no author, title or program name in it, the pictures carry no colour profile or text notes naming the browser, and the Word document has no document properties at all; it also tells Word to remove personal information when it is saved again.
Q32: What is the backup file for?
A32: It keeps everything, including the photo, in one file. Open a backup, under Your biodatas, opens it again on any phone or computer, or in another browser. Keep it somewhere safe: anyone who has the file can open it.
Q33: Why is there no Share button?
A33: It appears only where the browser can share files, mostly on phones. On a computer, download the file and attach it to your message.
8. Privacy and Data
Q34: What does Biodata Maker keep, and where?
A34: In this browser's storage on this device: your biodatas with their photos, designs and settings, so they are there next time. That storage is not encrypted, and anyone who uses this browser can open them. Nothing is kept on a server.
Q35: How do I delete what it keeps?
A35: Open Your biodatas. The bin button beside a biodata deletes that one; Delete everything removes every biodata, photo and setting that Biodata Maker keeps and leaves the rest of the site alone. Download backup files first if you may need them.
Q36: Can I move my biodatas to another phone?
A36: Yes, with backup files: download a backup of each biodata, send it to the other phone, and use Open a backup there. There is no account and no sync, so nothing travels unless you send it.
