Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct photo size for a PAN card application?
As per NSDL and UTI guidelines, the photograph for a PAN card must be 2.5 cm wide × 3.5 cm tall (portrait orientation) at a resolution of 200 DPI. The pixel dimensions work out to approximately 197×276 pixels. The file should be in JPEG format and not exceed 50 KB in size.
What is the correct signature size for a PAN card application?
The signature for PAN card must be 4.5 cm wide × 2.0 cm tall (landscape orientation) at 200 DPI, which equals approximately 354×157 pixels. It should be a clear black ink signature on white paper, scanned or photographed cleanly, saved as JPEG, and not exceed 20 KB.
Is my photo or signature uploaded to your servers?
No — absolutely not. This tool runs entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript. Your images are never sent to any server. All cropping and resizing happens locally on your device. You can even use this tool offline after the page has loaded.
My file size is still over 50 KB after resizing. What should I do?
After downloading the resized image, you can further compress it using free tools like TinyJPG or Squoosh. Alternatively, ensure your original photo is taken in good lighting — well-lit photos tend to compress better and produce smaller file sizes while maintaining quality.
What is the Merge Aadhaar feature for?
Many government portals and offices require both the front and back of your Aadhaar card submitted as a single PDF. The Merge Aadhaar tool lets you upload the front and back images and automatically combines them side-by-side into one downloadable PDF — no additional software needed.
Does this tool work on mobile phones?
Yes! Sarkari DNA Tools is fully responsive and works on all modern smartphones. You can take a photo using your phone's camera and directly upload and crop it using this tool. Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS are both fully supported.
