PAN photo requirements
- JPEG, passport-style
- Under 50 KB for most NSDL / UTIITSL forms
The tool is preset to 50 KB. Add your photo and download a version that lands under the limit, ready to upload.
Hit the limit without the blur
Manually squeezing a photo under 50 KB usually means dragging a quality slider until it looks bad. PhotoFit instead searches for the best quality that still fits 50 KB, so your PAN photo stays sharp and gets accepted.
Signature upload too?
Exam and KYC forms often need a signature image at 10–20 KB — there's a page and a preset for that as well.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a PAN card photo be?
NSDL and UTIITSL PAN applications want a passport-style JPEG, usually under 50 KB. PhotoFit is preset to 50 KB for it.
How do I compress a PAN photo to under 50 KB without blur?
PhotoFit searches for the best JPEG quality that still fits under 50 KB instead of using a guesswork quality slider, so the photo stays sharp and is accepted.
Do I also need a signature file for PAN or exam forms?
Many KYC and exam forms also need a signature image at 10–20 KB. PhotoFit has a dedicated signature page and preset for that.
