About the 30 x 40 mm photo
The requirements for documentary photographs may vary, in particular in terms of size and framing. If you want to get a professional photo that is suitable for different documents, generally the easiest solution is to choose a universal photograph with pre-set size. For example, for a given format: 30 x 40 milimetres - meaning 3 on 4 centimetres, you can use the cropping tool available on our page.
Within a few seconds we would adapt your photo to the requirements of the office or institution.
Thanks to this simple procedure, you will save time and money on searching for a photographer who will take professional document photographs in the size you need. Not always at a photography studio there is the possibility to print photos having dimensions of 30 on 40 mm or 3 x 4 centimetres, hence, using photo maker with option of automatic framing may be the best solution.
