Frequently asked

How many pixels is a 4 × 6 cm photo?

4 × 6 cm is 40 × 60 mm, and at 300 DPI that is 472 × 708 pixels — exactly the file this page hands you. For another density do the sum yourself: divide the millimetres by 25.4 and multiply by the DPI you need. Check the requirements for a minimum pixel count too, because some upload forms ask for more than 300 DPI gives.

Which documents ask for 40 × 60 mm?

Eleven profiles in our dataset carry 40 × 60 mm: the passport, visa, ID card and residence permit of Thailand; the visa, work permit and ID card of Vietnam; the passport of Greece; the national ID card, residence permit and work permit of Egypt. Nine of the eleven agree on the same head share — 70–80% of the frame height, or 42 to 48 mm on a 60 mm print; for the other two the authority publishes no such figure.

Is 4 × 6 the photo or the sheet of paper?

The units are what trip people up. Here we mean centimetres: a 4 × 6 cm frame, that is 40 × 60 mm. In a print lab “4 × 6” means inches — a 10 × 15 cm sheet that several frames are laid out on. Four 40 × 60 mm photos fit on one such sheet, and the print layout generator arranges them for you.

Need the finished 40 × 60 mm frame, not just the crop?

Anfas.Pro takes an ordinary portrait to the 4 × 6 cm format: an even light background, the head inside the allowed band, soft light with no hard shadows.
