The PAN signature upload limit

The signature image on a Protean (NSDL) PAN application has its own, tighter limit: a JPEG, 200 DPI, about 2 by 4.5 cm, and no larger than 10 KB. That is smaller than the photo limit, and a scanned signature often starts well above it, so it usually needs resizing. This page targets 10 KB so you can drop your scan in and get a version that uploads.

Because a signature is simple black strokes on white, it compresses easily and usually stays perfectly legible at 10 KB. The tool does the work in your browser and never uploads the file. Scan or photograph your signature on plain white paper for the cleanest result.

Confirm the limit against your own application

The 10 KB figure is Protean's, verified against their official guidelines. UTIITSL and the various PAN form types can differ. Always check the signature requirement on your own application screen before uploading, and set this tool's target to match it. The portal you are applying through is the authority, not us.
