About this tool
India's PAN card application asks for a photo at a specific small size — commonly cited as 25mm x 35mm (2.5cm x 3.5cm) — different from the square passport photo standard. This tool crops your photo to that exact aspect ratio and fills the frame by default, so you're not left guessing how to crop it manually; switch to Fit mode if you'd rather keep the whole photo padded instead. Output is always JPEG.
Because PAN photo requirements are set by NSDL/UTIITSL and can be updated, double-check the current official size guidance for your specific application alongside using this tool.
Questions
Is 25mm x 35mm always the correct PAN photo size?
It's the commonly published standard, but always confirm against the current NSDL/UTIITSL guidelines since requirements can be updated.
Do I also need to hit a file size limit?
Many PAN portals cap the file at a small KB size too — use one of the compress-to-size tools afterward if needed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No — cropping happens entirely in your browser.
What is the PAN card photo size in mm and cm?
The commonly used standard is 25mm x 35mm, equal to 2.5cm x 3.5cm — this tool outputs that exact ratio.
Does this also resize PAN card documents (not just the photo)?
No — this tool is specifically for the photo portion of the application. For a general document scan, use the plain Resize tool instead and set your own dimensions.
