Frequently asked questions

What photo size is needed for a PAN card?
PAN card applications use a passport-style colour photo, commonly around 3.5×2.5 cm. For online PAN (Form 49A on the NSDL/Protean or UTIITSL portal), the photo is uploaded as a small JPG within a set KB limit. Always confirm the exact size on the official portal before submitting.
What is the signature size for a PAN card?
The signature is a small JPG signed in black ink on white paper, kept under the portal's KB limit. Use the Signature Resize tool to set the size, then compress to the required KB.
How do I resize my photo for a PAN card online?
Upload your photo below and compress it to the KB the form requires. To set exact centimetre dimensions first, use the Resize in CM tool (3.5×2.5 cm), then compress here.
Is it free and are my files uploaded?
It is completely free with no sign-up, and your photo and signature are processed entirely in your browser — they are never uploaded to any server.
