What size photo is needed for a PAN card?
A PAN card application uses a 2.5 by 3.5 cm colour photograph, which is 295 by 413 pixels at 300 DPI. It is slightly smaller and slightly narrower than a standard 35 by 45 mm passport photo, so a passport photo is not an exact substitute.
How to resize your photo for a PAN application
Choose your photo above. The PAN preset is already applied, so the output is exactly 295 by 413 pixels and the tool crops to fit rather than stretching. Check the preview and download the result.
File size limits on the portal
The online application portals also cap how large the uploaded file may be, and that limit changes from time to time, so check the figure shown on the form you are filling. If your photo is over the limit, run it through the image compressor after resizing: lowering the quality a little usually brings a photo of this size well under any cap without a visible difference.

Frequently asked questions
What is the PAN card photo size in pixels?
2.5 by 3.5 cm at 300 DPI is 295 by 413 pixels. That is the size this page applies by default.
Can I use a passport photo for a PAN card?
Not exactly. A passport photo is 35 by 45 mm while a PAN photo is 25 by 35 mm, so the shape differs slightly. Resize your original photo to the PAN size here instead of scaling a printed passport photo.
What background should the photo have?
A plain white or light background with a clear front facing view of your face and a neutral expression.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The resize happens in your browser on your own device, so your ID photo never leaves it.
