About this tool

30 x 40 mm (often written 3 x 4 cm) is a common size for ID cards, staff badges, student cards, membership cards and many institutional forms in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. It is smaller than a passport photo, so a passport print will not fit the box. This crop is 354 x 472 pixels at 300 DPI, and ten fit on one 4x6 print.

How to use this tool

  2. Crop to 30 x 40 mmPosition the head in the guide - this is smaller than a passport photo.
  3. Print and cutPrint the 10-photo sheet and cut out as many as the card or form needs.

Where 30 x 40 mm photos are used

If the form gives the size in centimetres, 3 x 4 cm is the same as 30 x 40 mm.

  • Staff and student ID cards.
  • Club, gym and library membership cards.
  • School and university enrolment forms.
  • Some national forms that say "3 x 4 cm".

Using 3 x 4 cm photos for cards and forms

Staff badges, student cards, library and gym memberships and many institutional forms ask for a 3 x 4 cm photo - smaller than a passport photo, so a passport print will not fit the box. Ten copies fit on one 4x6 print, which covers several cards at once.

For a card that is laminated or printed, use a clear, front-facing photo with a plain background and good light, so it stays recognisable at a small size. If an organisation asks for a digital upload instead, use the cropped file at its full resolution.
