The requirements for documentary photographs might differ, in particular in terms of size and framing. If you want to get a professional photograph that is suitable for different documents, generally the best solution is to choose a universal photo with pre-set size. For instance, for a given format: 30 x 40 mm - that is 3 on 4 cm, you can use the cropping tool available on our page. a moment we will adapt your photograph to the requirements of the office or institution.

Thanks to this simple procedure, you will save time and money on searching for a photography studio who will take professional photos for documents in the format 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 cm, therefore, using photo generator tool with automatic framing option may be the best solution.
