Indian PAN card photo maker

Add a photo of the face and it’s cropped to the Indian PAN card rules: 25 × 35 mm, then checked. Print a 4×6 sheet of 12 for about the price of one photo print, or save the digital file. Free, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded.

Source: tinpan.proteantech.in, tin.tin.proteantech.in (2026-11-09). This office gives no head size, so the app uses the international (ICAO) guide: chin to the top of the head 70–80 % of the photo’s height. (UTIITSL’s own page asks for 3.5 × 4.5 cm: use the 35 × 45 mm size for that one.)

Taking a Indian PAN card photo

Stand in front of a plain white background. Glasses are a risk: take them off if they catch the light. Keep a neutral face with your mouth closed. For the online form the app saves 197 × 276 px, up to 20 KB. For scanned or online applications: 200 dpi, JPEG, 20 KB or less.

Printing PAN card photos

12 fit on a 4×6 print, 18 on a 5×7, 42 on A4 and 42 on US Letter; the office wants 2.
