Crop a photo to 40 × 40 mm — Argentina passport
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Argentina passport. Ready to print or upload.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 40 × 40 mm. Drag the photo inside the frame; the shape cannot be broken.
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload the photo you want to resize.
- Pick the country and document — the exact size and head ratio come from that profile.
- Download the result — cropped, resized and face-aligned entirely in your browser.

What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain white
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 472 × 472 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Photo not square 40×40mm (Argentina rejects ICAO 35×45) | Use Argentine-specific 4×4cm square template |
| Head not 70% of photo height (≈28mm chin-to-hair) | Square format = different proportions than rectangular ICAO |
| Top-of-hair to top-of-photo distance not 8% (≈3.2mm) | Renaper precise proportional rule |
| Only one print submitted (Argentina requires 2 identical) | Print two identical copies for Renaper |
| Background not pure white | Off-white rejected |
Argentina-specific things to know

- Face = 70% of photo height, hair-top to photo-top = 8% (precise proportions)
- TWO identical color prints required (most authorities accept one)
- Digital accepts PDF + JPG + GIF + BMP + PNG (unusually wide format range)
