Frequently Asked Questions (PAN Card Photo & Signature)
What are the exact photo specifications for NSDL and UTIITSL PAN Card applications?
For both Protean (NSDL) and UTIITSL online PAN card applications, your photograph must be exactly 213 × 213 pixels (or 3.5 cm × 2.5 cm), formatted at 300 DPI in color, with a file size strictly under 50 KB (SizeSnap recommends between 25 KB and 40 KB for optimal clarity and instant server acceptance).
What are the required dimensions for a PAN card signature upload?
The PAN card signature must be 400 × 213 pixels (or 2 cm × 4.5 cm) at 300 DPI resolution. The file size must be strictly under 30 KB (SizeSnap targets ~20 KB). The signature should be signed with black ink on plain white paper for sharp contrast.
Why does the NSDL / UTI portal show "Invalid File Dimension or DPI" error?
The Protean and UTIITSL portal upload engines validate the pixel header and DPI metadata. If your image resolution is 72 DPI (standard mobile camera default) or the pixel canvas is not exactly 213×213, the portal instantly rejects it. SizeSnap automatically formats your image to exact 213×213 pixels and 300 DPI to guarantee 100% acceptance.
Is my Aadhaar card or PAN applicant photo uploaded to any third-party server?
Never. SizeSnap runs entirely 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 400×213 px and <30KB standard.
What is the difference between NSDL and UTIITSL photo requirements?
Both government agencies follow the identical technical specifications: 213×213 px photo (<50KB) and 400×213 px signature (<30KB) at 300 DPI in JPEG/JPG format. SizeSnap images comply with both portals seamlessly.
