PAN Card Signature Resize — Protean (NSDL) Size, Free

Get your signature ready for a PAN application in seconds. Protean (formerly NSDL) asks for the signature as a separate small image, and this tool fits your scanned or photographed signature to its 2 × 4.5 cm box at 200 DPI and compresses it under 10KB. Your signature is processed on your device and never uploaded.

The PAN signature for Protean's (NSDL's) scanned upload is a colour JPEG of 2 × 4.5 cm at 200 DPI — about 354×157 pixels — and no larger than 10KB. Sign on plain white paper, photograph or scan it, and this tool fits it to that size on a white background, saves it at 200 DPI and keeps it under 10KB.

100% private — your images never leave your device. No upload, no sign-up. Check it yourself: once this page loads, it works with your internet switched off.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

What is the PAN card signature size?

For Protean's scanned upload: 2 × 4.5 cm (height × width) at 200 DPI, colour JPEG, no larger than 10KB. That's about 354×157 pixels, which is what this tool outputs.
02

Why is my signature rejected even though it's small?

Check three things: it must be a real JPEG (not a PNG renamed to .jpg), it must be 10KB or less, and the signature should fill the box clearly — sign in dark ink on plain white paper and crop away the rest of the page before uploading.
03

Will there be white space around my signature?

No. The tool finds your signature on the page, crops to it and turns the paper pure white, so the signature fills the box — even from a phone photo of a whole sheet with shadows. If it picks the wrong area, tap Adjust crop and drag the frame; what's inside the frame is exactly what you download. If you upload a photo instead of a signature, it fills the box with no white borders.
04

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your photo is read and processed on your own phone or computer and never sent to our servers or anyone else's. We never receive it, so we can't see, keep or share it — which makes it safe for sensitive documents like Aadhaar, PAN, passports and bank statements.
05

Is this tool really free? Is there a daily limit?

Yes, it's free with no daily limit. Because the work happens on your device, an extra photo costs us nothing — so there's no cap, no watermark and no account needed. Process as many files as you like.
