Pick PAN (NSDL or UTIITSL), Aadhaar or Ayushman Bharat / PM-JAY, crop your photo — and signature, for PAN — to the exact required pixels, and compress into the required KB range automatically. A clear pass/fail check confirms every requirement before you download.

Which document is this for?
PAN (NSDL), PAN (UTIITSL), Aadhaar-standard or Ayushman Bharat — each shows its exact photo (and signature, for PAN) requirement.
Drag to position and zoom to fill the required aspect ratio exactly, on a white background. PAN also asks for a signature — crop that from a photo of your signature on plain paper.
The tool resizes to the exact pixel dimensions and searches for the file quality that lands inside the required KB range, then shows a clear pass or fail for width, height and size.
The uploaded photo is cropped to the 197:276 portrait ratio using the position you chose, resized to exactly those pixels, then compressed to land inside the 4–50 KB range NSDL expects.
PAN cards are issued through two authorised agencies, NSDL (now Protean) and UTIITSL, and their online forms do not ask for the same photo. NSDL wants a portrait rectangle (3.5 × 2.5 cm), while UTIITSL wants a square photo (213 × 213 px). A photo cropped correctly for one will be the wrong shape for the other, so this tool keeps them as two separate presets rather than one "PAN photo" option that would only work for half of applicants.
Both agencies ask for a signature too — photographed or scanned on plain paper, 4.5 × 2 cm — which this tool crops and lightly cleans up (stretching the paper background toward white while keeping the ink dark) before compressing to size.
Unlike PAN, neither Aadhaar nor Ayushman Bharat has one fixed, universally published online-upload photo spec. Most Aadhaar updates through myAadhaar only need your existing documents (any JPEG, PNG or PDF under 2 MB) — no new photograph — and a fresh enrolment photo is captured live at an enrolment centre, not self-uploaded. Ayushman Bharat / PM-JAY registration runs through many different state portals and CSC centres, each with its own limits.
The Aadhaar and Ayushman presets here use India's standard 35 × 45 mm ID-photo size for the cases that do call for one — a specific form, a photo studio print, or a state portal that asks for "a passport-style photo." Always check your specific portal's current instructions before submitting, exactly as the notice on each preset says.
Whichever agency's portal you're actually applying through — check the form itself, since the two require differently shaped photos (a rectangle for NSDL, a square for UTIITSL) and are not interchangeable.
Not usually for routine Aadhaar updates (those need documents, not a photo) or for most Ayushman Bharat registrations done via live capture. This preset is for the specific cases where a form, photo studio or particular state portal does ask for a fixed-size photo.
No. Cropping, resizing, signature cleanup and compression all happen in your browser.
This happens on rare, very restrictive size ranges where the required pixel dimensions can't be compressed into the target range without visibly damaging the image. The tool always shows you the closest possible result rather than silently failing.
Yes — for PAN, each has its own crop and result step, so you can retake or re-crop just the signature without redoing the photo, or the other way around.
JPG, PNG or WebP for either the photo or the signature — the tool normalises both internally before cropping and compressing to the required format.
Each preset shows the date it was last checked and links to the relevant official site. Government portals change requirements without much notice, so confirm before you submit — the same caution this tool's own exam photo tool gives.
