What these millimetres work out to
- In a 40 × 60 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 42–48 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 60 mm of height that leaves 12–18 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 496–567 pixels tall — below 496 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.14 times as wide, 1.33 times as tall and 1.52 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light grey background without shadows or patterns.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 60 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 472 × 709 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
