Frequently asked
How many pixels is a 3×4 cm photo?
3 × 4 cm is 30 × 40 mm. At 300 DPI, the usual print resolution, that works out to 354 × 472 pixels. If the requirements name a different resolution, divide the millimetres by 25.4 and multiply by the DPI you need — at 600 DPI, for example, the same photo becomes 709 × 945 px.
Which documents use the 3×4 cm format?
In our catalogue more than 40 documents use 30 × 40 mm: driving licences in Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Thailand and Uzbekistan, the passports of Malta, Ethiopia and Turkmenistan, ID cards in Brazil, Romania and Tunisia, the Japanese residence permit, visas for Azerbaijan, Colombia and Venezuela, and several Russian documents — the medical book, the student ID and the hunting licence. On almost all of them the head takes 70–80% of the frame height — 28 to 32 mm on a 40 mm print.
What is the difference between 3×4 and 35×45?
They are two different formats. 3 × 4 cm equals 30 × 40 mm, while 35 × 45 mm equals 3.5 × 4.5 cm — 5 mm wider and 5 mm taller. The gap is easy to miss by eye and obvious at the counter: Schengen visas, most EU passports and both Russian passports are built around 35 × 45 mm, so a 3 × 4 print is simply the wrong size there.
How many 3×4 photos fit on a print sheet?
Nine on a 10 × 15 cm sheet and 45 on A4, edge to edge with one cutting line between neighbouring photos. Print at 100 % scale, without fit-to-page, so each photo stays exactly 30 × 40 mm.
Should a 3×4 photo be in colour or black and white?
Almost always in colour. Black and white is asked for rarely — mostly for some military documents. If the requirements of your document say nothing about it, print in colour: a black-and-white copy is easy to make from a colour file, but not the other way round.
What background does a 3×4 photo need?
Plain and light. Of the 30 × 40 mm documents in our catalogue, about four in ten — the Maltese passport, the Colombian visa and the Brazilian ID card among them — accept white only; the rest take any even light background without patterns or shadows. The tool fills the colour your document needs.
Want a finished 3×4 photo, not just the right crop?
Anfas.Pro builds a 30×40 mm photo out of an ordinary portrait: plain light background, the head inside the allowed band, soft even light.
