Official Photo & Signature Guidelines
Compare what your form demands with what this tool produces by default:
| Parameter | This tool (default preset) | Official requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 213 × 213 px | Exact pixel dimensions per notification — commonly 213 × 213 px |
| File size | Target 30 KB slider (adjustable) | Must stay inside the notification's KB window — most forms prefer 20–50 KB |
| Format | JPG / JPEG | JPG / JPEG only |
| Name & Date stamp | OFF — toggle anytime | Not required for this document type |
- NSDL/UTI PAN online applications use square 213 × 213 px images for photo and signature.
- Images must be JPG/JPEG; the photo should be a clear colour passport-style photo.
- Sign the white space with a black pen, keeping the signature inside the box and not touching borders.
- Scan at high quality, then crop tightly to the photo / signature before resizing.
- Avoid folder shadows, pen glare and background clutter around your signature.
- The file-size tolerance is small — compress to around 20–30 KB to avoid rejections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the required photo size for a PAN card application?
NSDL (Protean) and UTI PAN e-KYC uploads expect square images of approximately 213 × 213 pixels in JPG format for both the applicant's photograph and signature. Compressing to around 20–30 KB keeps you safely inside the tolerance.
Should my PAN signature and photo be in separate files?
Yes — the photograph and the signature are uploaded as two separate images, each meeting the 213 × 213 px square spec. You can run both through this tool sequentially.
My signature scan is on white paper with a shadow. Will it be rejected?
Light shadows usually pass, but strong shadows, crumpled paper or signatures touching the crop border can be flagged. Photograph in even lighting, crop tight using the custom field if needed, and keep the background as white as possible.
Does this tool work for both NSDL and UTI PAN portals?
Yes. Both portals accept square JPEG images in this size range, so one 213 × 213 px JPG shot through this tool will work for either.
Tip: if your form also requires a photo with name & date, use the SSC Photo Maker.
