🪪 Exam & ID Photo and Signature Resizer (PAN, SSC, CNIC, Iqama, Emirates ID)

How to use: Exam & ID Photo and Signature Resizer (PAN, SSC, CNIC, Iqama, Emirates ID)

Make a photo or signature at the exact size and KB that PAN, SSC, CNIC, Saudi ID, Iqama and Emirates ID forms ask for, with the official source cited for every preset. Free, no upload.

What this tool does

This tool keeps the photo and signature rules of common Indian, Pakistani, Saudi and UAE forms in one list. Each preset shows the size in centimetres and pixels, the DPI, the KB limit, the source document and the date we checked it. Presets taken straight from an official page say so; where an issuer publishes only part of the rule, as Absher does for Iqama photos and ICP for Emirates ID, the preset asks you to check the latest notice. Signatures can be cleaned to white paper and dark ink, photos can get a white background and a name and date strip, and the JPG carries its DPI. Custom takes any size and KB range.

Common uses

• Making a PAN card photo and signature that pass the Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL upload limits
• Resizing a signature to 10–20 KB at about 6 × 2 cm for an SSC application
• Preparing a white-background photo for a CNIC renewal on Pak ID, a Saudi ID or Iqama photo update on Absher, or an Emirates ID application

Step by step

1. Choose the preset for your form, for example PAN signature or SSC signature, and read the size, KB limit and source shown.
2. Choose your photo or a photo of your signature on white paper, then drag the box to frame it.
3. Press Make file, check the size and KB shown, then download the JPG.

Worked example

For example, choose PAN signature (Protean / NSDL). The preset shows 4.5 × 2 cm at 200 DPI, which is 354 × 157 px, with a 10 KB limit. Frame your signature and press Make file: the paper is cleaned to white and the highest JPEG quality under 10,000 bytes is saved. For SSC signature (6 × 2 cm, 472 × 157 px at 200 DPI), a file under 10 KB is redrawn at a higher DPI until it lands between 10 and 20 KB.

Tips for better results

• Sign with a black or dark blue pen on plain white paper and photograph it in daylight without shadows; the clean-up works best on an even background.
• Limits are applied strictly: the maximum counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes and the minimum as 1,024 bytes, so the file passes whichever way a portal counts.
• Notices change every year: compare the preset with your notice and use Custom if the numbers differ.

Keep a copy of the original: each lossy save removes a little detail.

Good to know

JPG suits photos, PNG keeps sharp edges and transparency, WEBP is small but not accepted everywhere.

Why a browser-based tool?

The tool runs on your own phone or computer, so personal documents, photos and figures never sit on someone else’s server, and there is no queue or file limit. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
