Compress Photo for PAN Card Application | MiniPx — Free, Fast & Private

PAN card applications through NSDL or UTIITSL require photos and signatures meeting specific size limits. The photo must typically be in JPEG format, under 200KB, with clear facial features. Signature images are usually required under 100KB.

For PAN photos: upload your passport-style photo with a white background. Use JPEG format, Smart preset, and 800px max width. This produces files of 80-200KB — within requirements for both NSDL and UTIITSL portals.

For signatures: photograph your signature on white paper with dark ink. Use JPEG + Tiny + 800px for files typically 10-30KB — well within the signature size limits.

MiniPx shows the exact file size after compression. Cross-check with the specific requirements on the NSDL or UTIITSL portal you are using, as limits may vary slightly between the two.

Your PAN application documents stay private. MiniPx processes everything in your browser — identity photos and signatures are never uploaded to any server.

How it works

  1. Upload photo or signature: Add your passport-style photo or signature image.
  2. Set JPEG + Smart + 800px: For photos under 200KB. Use Tiny for signatures under 100KB.
  3. Verify file size: Check the compressed size meets NSDL or UTIITSL requirements.
  4. Download and submit: Save and upload to the PAN application portal.

Frequently asked questions

What are NSDL PAN photo requirements?
NSDL typically requires JPEG photos under 200KB with white background, recent passport-style, clear facial features visible. Check the current NSDL PAN application form for exact specifications.
What size should a PAN signature be?
Usually under 100KB in JPEG format. Signatures compress well — a scanned signature at 800px in Tiny preset typically comes to 10-30KB.
Can I use the same photo for PAN and Aadhaar?
Yes, the same passport-style photo works for both. Compress to meet the stricter size limit if requirements differ between the two applications.
My photo was rejected — what went wrong?
Common rejections: wrong format (use JPEG not PNG), file too large (reduce width or use Tiny), poor quality (ensure good lighting and white background), or wrong dimensions (some portals specify exact pixel ranges).
Is UTIITSL different from NSDL?
Both process PAN applications but may have slightly different photo specifications. Check the specific portal requirements. MiniPx settings of JPEG + Smart + 800px typically meet both.
Is my PAN photo safe?
Yes. MiniPx processes images in your browser only. Your identity documents are never sent to any server.
