PAN Card Standard Specs
5 promptsStandard Passport-Size PAN Photo
1/30✨ What it does

Reformat [YOUR SELFIE] into an Indian PAN card passport-size photo: head centered and facing the camera squarely, neutral expression with eyes open and mouth closed, full face clearly visible.

Pro tip: PAN card photos are passport-size (about 3.5 x 2.5 cm) on a plain white background.
Full Face, Front View
2/30✨ What it does
ChatGPT transforms [YOUR SELFIE] into a front-view PAN photo with the full face visible from forehead to chin, both ears roughly showing, and a level centered head. Check that both ears read, then save the front view if it still looks like you.

Plain white background, even frontal light, neutral expression. Keep my exact face, likeness, and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, or skin tone. Output 3:4 portrait.
Pro tip: A front full-face view is required — side or angled profiles are not accepted.
Correct Head Size and Centering
3/30✨ What it does

Plain white background, soft even light, neutral face. Keep my exact face, likeness, and identity unchanged — do not alter features, age, or skin tone. Output 3:4 portrait.
Pro tip: The face should fill the frame clearly — a tiny, distant head reads poorly on the card.
Recent and Unretouched
4/30✨ What it does
