Guidelines for Uploading PAN Scans
Online applications for Indian Permanent Account Numbers (PAN Cards) are notoriously strict regarding uploads. Photos must be color scans at 300 DPI, while signatures must be scanned at 600 DPI to avoid rejection. Compressing these files locally keeps them under the NSDL upload cap while preserving critical verification details.
Ensuring Document Safety Offline
Both signatures and face photos are prime targets for identity forgery. By processing your scans locally inside your browser sandbox, CompressKaro keeps your sensitive KYC details completely private, avoiding cloud-side document leaks.
