What this tool solves
PAN portals reject oversized JPEGs even when photographs look fine visually. Squaring portraits precisely plus KB targeting solves most automation failures without handing documents to random online compressors.
Recommended specification
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| Official guidance | NSDL / UTI FAQs + PDF manuals |
| Dimensions | Typically square — px counts vary by portal release |
| KB limit | Strict — iterate compressor target downward |
| Signature pair | Often separate upload — coordinate both assets |
How to use
- Download latest PAN portal dimension chart.
- Resize — square presets above are starting points only.
- Compress below KB ceiling and upload via official channels only.
Best practices
- Use plain light backgrounds — busy shelves trigger rejection.
- Remove thick-rim glasses if validator fails repeatedly.
Common mistakes
- Submitting HEIC directly — convert to JPEG first via HEIC to JPG.
- Cropping too tight — biometric matchers need forehead clearance.
Privacy and quality
Handling PAN-grade imagery locally reduces fraud surface vs emailing files to strangers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official PAN photograph pixel size and KB limit?

Can I use the same photo as Aadhaar or passport?
Only if framing, background, and attire satisfy PAN portal automation — mismatched glasses or caps may fail facial checks.
Does ImageTool upload PAN documents?
No — processing stays local.
Is this tool free?
Yes — browser-based with no account.
PNG output for PAN?
Portals typically require JPEG — use locked JPEG compression in step two.
