About this tool
The size for a 30x40 mm ID card photo is 30 x 40 mm, which is 1.18 x 1.57 inches - a portrait 3:4 crop. Drop a photo in and the frame is locked to it, so the output cannot come out the wrong size. 30x40mm turns up on ID cards, staff passes and school records across a lot of countries, usually specified as 3x4cm rather than in millimetres. At print resolution that is 354 x 472 pixels for 300 DPI, or 709 x 945 pixels where 600 is asked for. The 4x6 inch sheet download lays out 10 copies, which is what supermarket and pharmacy kiosks expect - one print instead of booth prices. Nothing is uploaded. The crop happens on your own device, so your face never reaches a server - which matters more here than on most tools, because this photo goes onto an identity document. Requirements beyond the size - head height, background, expression, glasses - are set by whichever office issued the form and do change. Check the current rules before you submit; this tool gets the dimensions exactly right, but it cannot know what was amended last month.
How to use this tool
- Upload a portraitAny phone photo works. A plain wall and even, front-on light gives the best result - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Position the headUse zoom and the position sliders until the head sits inside the guide. The crop is locked to 30 x 40 mm, so the wrong size cannot come out.
- DownloadTake the single photo at 354 x 472 pixels, or the 4x6 inch sheet with 10 copies ready to print.

- Runs entirely in your browser - your photo never leaves your device.

Common uses
- Re-cropping a photo an online form rejected for being the wrong size.
- Getting a correctly sized file for an application that needs an upload.
- Printing a sheet at a supermarket kiosk instead of paying booth prices.
- Anyone filling in a form that asks for 30x40 mm, preparing the photo before an appointment.
- Taking the photo at home when a studio visit is not practical.
Tips for better results
- Shoot against a plain, light wall in daylight, facing a window. Overhead light casts shadows under the eyes and on the wall behind you.
- Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open and the mouth closed unless the authority says otherwise.
- Download the sheet rather than the single photo if you are printing - 10 copies cost the same as one.
- Check what whichever office issued the form currently asks for before you go. Requirements are revised more often than people expect.
Mistakes to avoid
- Cropping the head too large or too small. Head height is a separate requirement from photo size, and it is the most common reason for rejection.
- Using a patterned or coloured background where a plain one is required.
- Scaling a small photo up to reach the pixel count. Start from the highest-resolution original you have.
- Submitting an old photo. Most authorities require one taken within the last six months.
