Why does my PAN Card upload fail even after resizing?
Portals check both a minimum and a maximum file size. A file that is too small is rejected just like one that is too big. This tool hits both ends of the range. Also make sure the file is a real JPG, not a renamed PNG.
Is my photo uploaded to your server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.
