Size requirements
These are the sizes in Protean’s (NSDL) online PAN instructions. UTIITSL and e-KYC routes may differ — check the form you are filling.
| Upload | Dimensions | File size |

How to use it

- Choose the image.
- Press Resize and download the 200 DPI JPG.
Why 200 DPI matters
The PAN portal reads the resolution stored in the image. This tool saves the image at 200 DPI with the exact pixel size, so the printed size works out to 3.5 × 2.5 cm for the photo and 2 × 4.5 cm for the signature.
Questions

20 KB is small, so start with a sharp, well-lit photo cropped to your face and shoulders.
