PAN card photo and signature requirements
For a PAN card application the listed photo is a colour JPG under 50 KB at about 3.5 × 2.5 cm, and the signature is a JPG under 50 KB, about 300 × 100 pixels.
| Item | Format | File size | Size / pixels | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | JPG / JPEG | Under 50 KB | About 3.5 × 2.5 cm (295 × 413 px suggested) | Colour photo, white or light background. |
| Signature | JPG / JPEG | Under 50 KB | About 300 × 100 px | Black or dark blue ink on white paper. |
This comes from a third-party guide. The guide gives the photo as 3.5 × 2.5 cm without saying which side is longer, so the portrait pixel size is a suggestion. Specifications summarised November 2026. Requirements can change with every notification or corrigendum, so always check the current official notice before you upload.
How to avoid rejection
- Use a recent, front-facing photo with a plain white or light background.
- Keep your face centred, eyes open, no mask or dark glasses.
- Stay inside the stated KB range. Files above the limit are rejected.
- Do not upload a PNG. Download the JPG from this tool.
- Check the official portal for the current size before you upload.

Does NSDL or UTIITSL take a bigger file?

Black or dark blue ink on white paper, within the signing box.
