What Makes a Good Aadhaar Masking App?
When choosing an Aadhaar masking tool, these factors matter most:
- Privacy — Does it process your Aadhaar locally or upload it to a server?
- Accuracy — Does it correctly detect and mask all 8 digits?
- Speed — How quickly does it process?
- Cost — Is it truly free or does it upsell?
- Format Support — Does it handle JPG, PNG, and PDF?
