Frequently Asked Questions (PAN Card Photo & Signature)

What is the difference between UTIITSL and NSDL PAN card photo & signature requirements?

UTIITSL strictly requires applicant photo to be 213 × 213 pixels, 300 DPI, and strictly under 30 KB (and signature under 60 KB at 600 DPI). In contrast, Protean (NSDL) requires photo to be under 50 KB at 200 DPI, and signature strictly under 20 KB at 200 DPI. SizeSnap lets you select either "UTIITSL" or "NSDL" mode with 1 click to automatically apply the exact pixel dimensions and compression limits.

How does the "Photo + Signature (2-in-1 Combo)" mode work?

SizeSnap's 2-in-1 combo allows you to upload your passport photo and signature at the same time. You can zoom and align both images side-by-side, and click "Download Both as ZIP" or download each separately. Both files are automatically formatted according to your selected portal (UTIITSL or NSDL) in seconds.

Why does the UTIITSL portal show "Photo size should be less than 30KB" or "Invalid DPI"?

UTIITSL has an automated validator that checks both DPI (300 DPI) and maximum file size (< 30 KB). Normal photo editors compress images to 72 DPI or leave the file size above 30 KB. SizeSnap embeds 300 DPI metadata and iteratively compresses the photo to ~25 KB so UTI accepts it immediately on the first attempt.

What are the required dimensions for NSDL PAN card signature upload?

For Protean (NSDL), the signature must be 2 cm × 4.5 cm (approx 400 × 200 px) and strictly under 20 KB at 200 DPI. For UTIITSL, the signature can be up to 60 KB at 600 DPI. SizeSnap configures both automatically.

Is my Aadhaar card or PAN applicant photo uploaded to any third-party server?

Never. SizeSnap runs 100% inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas client-side technology. Your biometric photographs and legal signatures never leave your device and are never transmitted over the internet or saved on any database.

How do I take a clear photo of my signature for PAN card upload?

Sign clearly using a black ballpoint or gel pen on a clean, unlined white sheet of paper. Take a photo in bright, even daylight without shadows or flash reflection. Upload it to SizeSnap's PAN Card Signature tool, which will automatically crop, sharpen, and compress it to the exact portal standard.
