How to Prepare PAN Photo and Signature Size

Photo and signature upload requirements can vary by application mode and portal. Check the current file type, pixel and KB instructions before using a preset.

Why this matters

Renaming a file does not change its actual format or size. Photo and signature should be cropped/resized separately and the final dimensions and file size verified.

Step-by-step method

  1. Read the current photo/signature requirement on the application portal.
  2. Open the Form Photo Presets Tool.
  3. Upload the photo and choose the required dimensions/KB.
  4. Use the Signature Ready Tool to trim excess white space around the signature.
  5. Download both files and verify dimensions and file size again.

Useful tips

  • Use the exact format requested by the portal.
  • If the signature is faint, improve contrast and check the preview.
  • Do not rely on an old preset if the portal requirement has changed.
