Your photo is processed in your browser — not uploaded to our servers for processing.

PAN applications do take an uploaded photo, but the exact pixels and KB cap are set by the portal you apply through and change between form versions — read them there, then use the targets below as a starting point only.

Quick answer

PAN card: aim for 213×213 px and 10–100 KB JPG. Use the tool below to crop, resize, and compress on your device, then verify the official notice before submitting.

Offline note
After assets load, many browsers (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) can keep the tool usable offline. Some browsers (e.g. Tor) or private modes block service workers — the tool still runs online without uploading your files to our servers for processing.

    Where this spec comes from

    These figures are commonly-cited ranges, read from the official notice by hand and re-checked on a set date — nothing here is scraped, so a number never changes without a person confirming it. The notice for your own exam year always wins.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the typical PAN card photo size?

    PAN applications do take an uploaded photo, but the exact pixels and KB cap are set by the portal you apply through and change between form versions — read them there, then use the targets below as a starting point only. Common prep target: 213×213 px, 10–100 KB JPG. Always confirm the current official notice before submitting.

    How do I make a PAN card photo to 10–100 KB?

    Use the tool below: drop your photo, frame the face, then download a JPG at 213×213 px within 10–100 KB. TryQuickImg does this in your browser — the file is not uploaded to our servers for processing.

    Why do exam photo uploads fail?

    Common fails: over the KB cap, wrong pixels, HEIC instead of JPG, dark background, or a cropped face. Resize first, then compress to the printed limit, and convert HEIC→JPG if the portal rejects iPhone photos.

    Is my photo uploaded to TryQuickImg?

    No. TryQuickImg runs the crop, resize, and compress steps in your browser. After the page loads you can go offline and still finish.

    Should I trust this page or the official notice?

    The official notice wins. Specs change by year and form version. Use this page as a browser-side prep tool, then match the printed portal rules.
