Crop a photo to 40 × 40 mm — Argentina visa
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Argentina visa. 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.
