Fill in both for an exact pixel size, as many exam and ID forms ask.

Output format

Your browser decodes and re-saves each image. Nothing is sent to Arche's servers, and re-saving drops EXIF metadata such as GPS location.

Guide

Good to know

Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL

The two agencies take different files. Protean: photo 3.5 × 2.5 cm (197 × 276 pixels at 200 DPI) and signature 2 × 4.5 cm (354 × 157 pixels) in black and white, each under 50 KB. UTIITSL: photo 213 × 213 pixels under 30 KB. Choose the matching entry under Form preset; Arche sets the pixels and writes the DPI into the JPG.

A photo that passes

Use a recent colour photo against a plain white background, facing the camera, without a cap or dark glasses. Crop to fill keeps the middle of the photo, so a passport-style photo with the face in the centre works best. For the signature, sign in black ink on white paper and pick the PAN signature preset.

Photo and signature sizes for common forms

Pick one of these under Form preset and Arche sets the size range, pixels and DPI for you. The figures come from each body's published upload instructions, checked in November 2026. They can change between notifications, so check yours before you upload.
