How to Use the PAN Card Resizing Tool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to use the PAN Card Resizing Tool at indocuments.com/pancard.php to prepare your photograph, signature, and document for an NSDL PAN card application. The free, user-friendly tool automatically resizes files to meet NSDL requirements (e.g., W: 2.5 cm x H: 3.5 cm for photos, W: 4.5 cm x H: 2.0 cm for signatures, JPEG format, under 50 KB). No software installation is required, and files are processed securely in your browser, automatically deleted after 1 hour.

Tips for Best Results
