Why Use This Tool

Applying for a PAN card through the NSDL or UTIITSL portal requires a square photo in JPEG format, under 50KB. Phone camera photos are rectangular and several megabytes — they need to be cropped to a square, resized, and compressed before the portal will accept them.

This tool handles the entire process. The square viewport enforces the 1:1 crop that PAN applications require, the face guide helps you centre your photo correctly, and the output is auto-compressed to under 50KB. Works for new PAN applications, corrections, reprints, and Instant PAN (e-PAN) through both NSDL and UTIITSL.

Everything runs in your browser — your photo never leaves your device. No server uploads, no signups, no watermarks. Crop, compress, download, and submit.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NSDL and UTIITSL PAN card application portals require photos in JPEG format, approximately 200×200 pixels (square), with a file size under 50KB. The photo must have a plain white or light background with your face clearly visible, covering about 70–80% of the frame.
Yes — this tool produces photos at the specifications accepted by the NSDL e-Gov portal for new PAN card applications, corrections, and reprints. The output is a square 200×200px JPEG under 50KB, which matches NSDL's upload requirements.
Yes — UTIITSL (UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited) uses the same photo specifications as NSDL for PAN card applications. Upload your photo, crop with the square guide, and download the result — it works for both portals.
PAN card applications use a square photo format (1:1 ratio) unlike the rectangular format used for passports (35×45mm). This is because the PAN card itself displays a small square photo. Using a passport photo without re-cropping will result in distortion or rejection.
Use a plain white or light-coloured background without patterns or shadows. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression. Remove glasses if possible. This tool does not alter the background — ensure it is plain and light before uploading.
