Resize Your Photo & Signature for a PAN Card
PAN card applications need a colour photo (3.5 × 2.5 cm) on a white background and a signature within set size limits; online (NSDL/UTIITSL) uploads add pixel and file-size rules. Crop and resize to match — all in your browser.
The requirement
- Photo size
- 3.5 × 2.5 cm, colour, white background
- Photo file size (online)
- ≈ 20 KB – 50 KB
- Signature file size
- ≈ 10 KB – 20 KB
- Format
- JPG / JPEG
These are typical published values and can change from year to year and from one portal to another. Always confirm the exact requirement in the official notification or upload portal before you submit — the official source takes precedence over anything here.
Step by step
- 1Crop your photo to a 3.5:2.5 ratio on a plain white background.
- 2Resize and compress it to the online photo limit.
- 3Sign in black ink on white paper, photograph or scan it, and crop tightly.
- 4Compress the signature to fit, then upload both to the PAN portal.
