PAN Card Photo & Signature Size
The photo and signature specs a PAN application (Form 49A / e-PAN) asks for, and a free way to hit them exactly.
PAN forms typically need a colour photo and a signature in JPEG within a small KB limit. Set the size in PhotoResizer and download PAN-ready files.
PAN card photo & signature specifications (typical)
| Requirement | Photograph | Signature |
|---|---|---|
| Format | JPEG | JPEG |
| File size | 20 KB – 50 KB | 10 KB – 20 KB |
| Dimensions | ≈3.5 × 2.5 cm (213 × 213 px) | ≈2 × 4.5 cm |
| Background | White, front-facing, clear face | White paper, dark ink |
Why PAN photo/signature uploads get rejected
A photo over the KB limit, a signature that runs outside the box, a coloured background, or wrong dimensions. PhotoResizer sets the exact size and weight so the portal accepts it.
How to resize your PAN photo & signature
- Open PhotoResizer — set the PAN size, or enter the KB and pixels manually.
- Upload your photo/signature from your phone or computer.
- Crop to fit — align inside the required frame.
- Download — a ready-to-upload JPEG within the size limit.
