About the 30 x 40 mm photo

Depending on the document you want to apply for, the dimensions of the photo may differ considerably. Sometimes the easiest way is to choose a universal photo in electronic version, from which you will be able to cut out any format you need, e.g. 30 x 40 milimetres. Our photo maker will help you with this, allowing automatic cropping of uploaded photos. Ready and correctly prepared universal size photo can be used as a photograph for a specific document.

You can prepare the photo on our website - Passport Photo Online or instead of using a photo generator tool visit the nearest photo booth, which offers taking pictures in 30 on 40 milimetres (3 on 4 centimetres) format. Surely, however, this is a more time-consuming and more expensive solution. So it's worth using photograph framing tool.

30 x 40 mm (3 by 4 cm) Photo background

Generally a document photo ought to have a uniform background. The background colour itself may differ depending on the specific application. Often, however, it is a bright background, normally white (#ffffffff) or light grey (e.g. #fdfdfd), however, there may be a particular background requirement of blue colour - #1250fa.

With passport-photo.online cropping tool you can get a photograph with a uniform bright background. Just upload any photograph to the form above and our Background Removal Tool will do its job and you will get a photo on the perfect bright background. Soon, there will also be an option to choose a specific background color. If you need it now, please contact us at support@passport-photo.online.

Equivalents of the 30 x 40 milimetres photo

The equivalents of a 30 x 40 mm photo are:

  • 3 x 4 cm photograph (i.e. photo's width 3 centimetres and height 4 centimetres)
  • 1,18 x 1,57 inches photograph (i.e. photo's width 1,18 inches and height 1,57 inches)

Proportions of the electronic form of the 30 by 40 mm photo

In the case of electronic version photographs only, it is crucial to maintain the right proportions, i.e. the ratio of the 30 milimetres width to the 40 mm height. Depending on the resolution (dpi) of the printout, these can vary considerably regarding dimensions expressed in pixels (px). E.g., these can be dimensions:

  • for dpi=100 resolution: 118 x 157 px (width = 118 pixels, and height 157 pixels)
  • for dpi=300 resolution: 354 x 472 px (width = 354 pixels, and height 472 pixels)
  • for dpi=600 resolution: 709 x 945 px (width = 709 pixels, and height 945 pixels)
