You can apply for a new PAN or a correction online through Protean (formerly NSDL e-Gov) or UTIITSL. If you choose to upload scanned images instead of using Aadhaar e-KYC, the photo and signature must meet strict rules. The values below are what the services have commonly published; always check the instructions on the site you apply through.
| Item | Protean (NSDL) | UTIITSL |
|---|---|---|
| Photo size | 3.5 × 2.5 cm, 200 dpi (this page: 197 × 276 px) | 213 × 213 px, 300 dpi |
| Photo type | Colour, JPG | Colour, JPG |
| Photo file size | Up to 50 KB | Up to 30 KB (check) |
| Signature | 2 × 4.5 cm, 200 dpi, black and white, JPG, up to 50 KB | Check the site |
How to do it here
- PAN photo 2.5×3.5 cm ≤ 50 KB is set: exactly 197 × 276 px, under 50 KB, JPG.
- Drop your photo. Drag the bright box so your face is centred with a little space above the head.
- Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge confirms exactly 197 × 276 px and the bytes against 50,000. Download and upload.
Applying through UTIITSL? Keep KB size at your portal’s limit and change the optional exact pixels boxes under KB size to 213 × 213.
Signature for PAN
Sign on white paper with a black pen and photograph it in daylight. Open the Signature resizer, set KB size to 50 and type about 354 × 157 (4.5 × 2 cm at 200 dpi) in the optional exact pixels boxes under KB size.
Common problems
- Photo not in colour or very dark: retake it in daylight.
- Background not plain: use White background on your device.
- Wrong shape: PAN photos are small and tall; a square or wide photo gets rejected or squashed.
- File too big: phone photos are 2–4 MB; this page brings them under 50 KB and shows the bytes.
- PDF instead of JPG: upload the image as JPG unless the form asks for a PDF.
Your ID photos are processed on your own device and never uploaded. The rules here were last checked on 5 November 2026.
Check the file before you submit
After downloading, open the file’s details on your phone or computer (on Windows: right-click → Properties → Details; on Android: the file manager’s info button; on iPhone: the Files app’s info). You should see the same pixel size and a file size matching the badge. Then use the portal’s preview step: if the photo looks stretched or cut off there, go back, adjust the crop box and run again. Keep the downloaded file safe, because many portals ask for the same photo again at later stages, and your admit card will carry it.
