Resize photo for PAN card application

Preset loaded: JPEG, 45 KB target — a safe size for PAN portals. Adjust the target if your portal states a different limit.

Portal limits change — double-check the current notification before you submit.

Quality is lowered only as far as the floor allows. If that still isn't enough, the image is scaled down in small steps instead — downscaling looks far better than heavy compression artifacts. EXIF metadata (location, camera, serial numbers) is always removed for your privacy; colour accuracy is kept.

Quick answers

How do I compress an image to 45 KB?

Drop it above and press Resize — the result lands just under 45 KB at the highest quality that fits.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser — safe for ID photos and signatures.

Why did the portal reject my photo?

Almost always size or format. Set the portal's exact limit as your target, pick JPEG, re-upload.

Three tools. Nothing uploaded.
