PAN-bearing documents stay on your device — the compression runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

PAN card application portals (NSDL / Protean and UTIITSL) enforce different upload caps for different fields — photographs often under 100 KB, signatures under 50 KB, and supporting identity or address proofs commonly between 100 KB and 300 KB.

Typical PAN portal upload limits:

- Photograph: ~50–100 KB (varies by portal and form) - Signature: ~10–50 KB - Identity proof (Aadhaar, passport): 100–300 KB - Address proof: 100–300 KB - Date-of-birth proof: 100–300 KB

Why client-side compression matters here.

Every PAN-related document carries your PAN number, full name, and date of birth — enough to open credit accounts or commit identity fraud if it leaks. Uploading those to a random online compressor routes your PAN through a third-party server, which is exactly the exposure you're trying to avoid. This tool compresses in your browser; nothing ever reaches a server.

How to compress for a PAN portal:

1. Drop your supporting document above 2. Adjust the target to match the field's cap (typically 100–300 KB) 3. Our engine dials in on the exact target 4. Download and upload to NSDL or UTIITSL

Questions people ask.

What file size does the NSDL PAN portal accept?
Limits vary by field. Photographs are usually under 100 KB, signatures under 50 KB, and supporting documents (identity, address, DOB) typically between 100 KB and 300 KB. Check the specific field on the portal for the exact cap.
Is this safe for PAN-bearing documents?
Yes. The compression runs entirely in your browser — your PAN number, name, and date of birth never leave your device. No server contact, no upload. You can verify in DevTools → Network.
Can I compress a scanned Aadhaar card to upload as PAN identity proof?
Yes. Drop the scan and set the target to the portal's requested cap (often 300 KB for identity proof). The tool compresses while keeping the Aadhaar number and photo clearly readable.
What if the output is still over the portal's limit?
The tool shows the smallest achievable size and stops. If you still can't fit, re-scan at lower DPI or convert a colour scan to grayscale — both usually take a further 30–50% off the file size.
