Resizing Photos for NSDL PAN Card Applications

NSDL has strict photo and signature requirements for PAN card applications. This guide explains how to resize images correctly.

NSDL requires a photo of 213x213 pixels and under 50KB, and a signature of 140x60 pixels under 10KB. Use our NSDL Photo & Signature Resizer to automatically resize images to these specifications. Upload your photo or signature, and the tool will adjust dimensions and compress the file. For manual resizing, use an image editor: open the image, set the size to 213x213 pixels for photos or 140x60 for signatures, and save as JPG with high quality. Then, use a compression tool to reduce file size if needed. Ensure the photo is recent, with a plain background and no shadows. The signature should be in black ink on white paper. Avoid using low-resolution images, as they may be rejected. If the image is too large, reduce quality gradually until it meets the size limit. Always check the resized image for clarity and correctness. For batch processing, use scripts or online tools. Remember, NSDL may reject applications if the photo or signature doesn’t meet exact specifications. Double-check dimensions and file size before uploading.
