Before you merge anything, a quick honesty check. On most PAN cards, all the details that matter sit on the front: your name, father’s name, date of birth, PAN number, photo and signature. The back usually carries only general text. So if your form says “PAN copy”, the front may be all it needs.

Some banks, lenders and HR teams do ask for both sides, and some upload forms accept a single file only. That is when one merged page helps. This free tool puts the front and back of your PAN card on one page at real card size, and you can download it as a PDF, JPG or PNG. The merging runs in your browser, so your images stay on your phone or computer.

Do you need both sides?

If the request says	What to do
“PAN card copy” with no mention of sides	Send the front, or ask which side they want
“Front and back” or “both sides”	Merge them here and send one page
“Upload in one file”	Merge, then choose PDF or JPG based on the portal
“Self-attested copy”	Print the PDF, sign as the office instructs, then scan or submit

Asking the receiver one short question often saves you a round of rework.

What is on the card

Part	What it shows	Why it matters for your copy
Front	Name, father’s name, date of birth, PAN number, photo, signature	This is what offices actually read, so it must be sharp
Back	Usually general text about the card	Include it only if the office asked for it
QR code	Present on newer cards and on e-PAN	Keep it uncovered and not blurred

PAN numbers are 10 characters, a mix of letters and digits. Zoom into the preview and check every character before you download. One misread letter is enough for a form to bounce.

Merge PAN Card in four steps

If you picked the sides in the wrong order, press Swap Front & Back.

Got an e-PAN instead of a plastic card?

An e-PAN is the digital PDF version from the Income Tax Department, and it opens with a password. The password is normally your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. If that does not work, follow the instruction that came with your download or email.This tool works with images, not PDF files. Open the e-PAN, take a screenshot or export the page as a JPG, and crop it down to the card.

Settings for common jobs

Job	Format	Paper	Size	Also try
Printing for a bank branch	PDF	A4	100%	Keep the cut border on
Uploading to a portal with a size limit	JPG	Fit PAN Size Only	100%	Turn the cut border off
Emailing to HR or a tax professional	PDF	A4	100%	Add a watermark with purpose and date
Small print is hard to read	PDF or PNG	A4	125%	Keep the medium gap

Print at real size

PAN cards are credit-card sized, about 85.6 × 54 mm. The tool starts at that size and saves at 300 DPI, so the PAN number stays crisp. Stretching the card across A4 makes the text look swollen and some offices send such copies back. When you print the PDF, choose Actual size or 100%, not “Fit to page”.

Keep your PAN copy from being reused

A PAN copy shows your PAN number, date of birth and father’s name. These are details people use to apply for things in your name, so a little care goes a long way.

• Write the purpose and the date on the copy. For example, “For loan application only, 14-10-20xx”. Use the watermark box. Keep it short so it does not cover the number.
• Send it only to whoever asked, and only through an official email or portal.
• Keep the clean file private. Share the watermarked copy.
• Delete it from shared computers and cyber cafe machines.
• Check your credit report now and then, especially if you have shared copies widely.

Is it safe to merge a PAN card online?

The images are merged inside your browser and are not sent to our server. You can test this yourself. Open the page, switch off your internet and merge a JPG. The PDF option fetches a small helper file the first time you use it, so test with JPG or PNG.

PDF, JPG or PNG

PDF keeps the page size and prints at real card size, so it suits branches and emails. JPG makes smaller files for portals with size limits. PNG gives the cleanest text, but the file is larger.

When something looks off

• The card looks small on A4. It is printed at real size. Pick 125% if you want it larger.
• A thin grey line surrounds each card. That is the cut border. Turn it off in the settings.
• The PAN number is hard to read. Retake the photo closer, in daylight, with the card flat.
• The PDF did not download. The helper file may not have loaded. Check your connection or save a JPG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I merge PAN card front and back into one page for free?+

Yes. The tool is free and needs no sign-up.

Do I need to send both sides of my PAN card?+

Not always. Most of your details are on the front. Send both sides only when the form or the office asks for it.

Are my PAN images uploaded anywhere?+

No. The merge happens in your browser. Only the PDF option fetches a small helper file from a public library the first time, and your images are not part of that request.

Can I merge an e-PAN PDF?+

Not directly. Save the card portion as a JPG or PNG first, then add it to the front and back boxes.

Will the quality drop after merging?+

The file is made at 300 DPI. PNG is lossless, and JPG and PDF use high quality compression. A blurry photo stays blurry.

How do I print the merged page at real card size?+

Download the PDF and print at 100% or Actual size. Do not choose “Fit to page”.

What if the portal accepts only 200 KB?+

Save a JPG with the Fit PAN Size Only paper option, then reduce it with the image size reducer.

Does it work on a phone?+

Yes. Tap a box and pick a photo from your gallery or take a new one.

What should I write in the watermark?+

The purpose and the date, for example “For loan application only, 14-10-2026”.
