Crop a photo to 30 × 40 mm — Thailand work permit
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Thailand work permit. Ready to print or upload.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 30 × 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 a photo taken face-on, in even light
- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 70–80%
- Save the 30 × 40 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Thailand document
Thailand does not use one frame for everything. This page is about work permit — 30 × 40 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- id card 40 × 60 mm
- passport 40 × 60 mm
- residence permit 40 × 60 mm
- visa 40 × 60 mm
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain light
- 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 354 × 472 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.

| Reason | Fix |

Where these numbers come from
Source: Department of Employment of Thailand. Last checked against the official page on 2026-05-17.
- Department of Employment WP.26 work-permit application and renewal material specifies a 3 × 4 cm photograph.
- The form asks for three 3 × 4 cm photographs for work-permit applications.
- Related work-permit card/specimen material includes a photograph field.
- This confirms the 30 × 40 mm work-permit size rather than the broader 40 × 60 mm immigration-photo baseline.
- The official form confirms size, but not a full biometric head-height or eye-line matrix.
