FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know about PAN card photo and signature requirements.

What is the correct photo size for NSDL PAN card?
For the NSDL (Protean) portal, the photo must be exactly 197×276 pixels, JPEG format, 200 DPI, and under 50 KB. This tool outputs the correct dimensions automatically when you select NSDL.
What is the correct photo size for UTI PAN card?
For the UTI Infrastructure portal, the photo must be 213×213 pixels (square), JPEG, under 50 KB. Select UTI in the toggle and the tool handles dimensions automatically.
Does my photo upload to any server?
No. Absolutely not. All processing happens entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. Your photo, signature, and Aadhaar images never leave your device.
Can I use PNG instead of JPEG?
You can upload PNG files — both JPEG and PNG are accepted as input. However, the downloaded output will always be a JPEG, as required by both NSDL and UTI portals.
My image is over 50 KB. Will this tool fix it?
Yes! The tool automatically compresses the output JPEG to stay within the 50 KB limit while maintaining the required pixel dimensions. No manual compression needed.
What should my signature background look like?
The signature must be on a plain white background with no lines, ruled paper, or shadows. Use a black or dark-blue pen under bright, even lighting to avoid shadows.
Why is an Aadhaar PDF required for PAN application?
Aadhaar serves as both identity and address proof. Both portals require front and back combined in one PDF under 300 KB — exactly what this merger tool produces.
Is this tool affiliated with NSDL or UTI?
No. This is an independent, free utility tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to NSDL, UTI, UIDAI, the Income Tax Department, or any government agency.
Can I use this tool on my mobile phone?
Yes! The tool is fully responsive and works on Android and iPhone browsers. You can click photos with your camera, crop them, and download — all from your phone.
What type of photo is acceptable for PAN card?
The photo must be:
  • Recent, clear, colour passport-style photo
  • Plain white or off-white background
  • Face clearly visible — no sunglasses or hat
  • No blur, no shadows on face
  • Portrait orientation (for NSDL)
Can I resize a scanned signature?
Yes. Upload a scanned image, a smartphone photo, or any JPEG/PNG of your signature. Crop tightly around the signature in the modal and download the correctly sized output.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No account required. Open the website, select your task, upload your image, crop, and download. No email, no login, no registration — completely free with no usage limits.
