What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 51 × 51 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35.7–40.8 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 51 mm of height that leaves 10.2–15.3 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 422–482 pixels tall — below 422 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
  • Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.46 times as wide, 1.13 times as tall and 1.65 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white or off-white background.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 51 × 51 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • 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 602 × 602 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
