Resize your photo for a PAN card application
Online PAN applications through NSDL (Protean) and UTIITSL accept a photograph as a JPEG under 30 KB. The PAN preset compresses your photo below the cap while keeping it sharp enough for the printed card.

Common questions
Why is my PAN photo upload failing?
The 30 KB cap is small — most photos are far larger. The PAN preset compresses under 30 KB automatically, using the highest quality that fits.
Requirements are revised every recruitment cycle. These figures reflect commonly published values — always cross-check the current official notification before submitting.
