Users about us
Great experience. They were very patient and cheerfully worked through my three photo submissions to get it right.
My first photo has some issues and they emailed back in about 20 minutes and let me retake. Quick turnaround!
They helped me out quickly to make a better photo than the one I sent them. Very efficient and good service.
About the 40 x 50 mm photo
Depending on the document you will apply for, the dimensions of the photo can be very different. Sometimes the easiest way is to choose a universal photo in electronic form, from which you will be able to cut out any format you want, e.g. 40 x 50 mm. Our photo maker will help you with this, allowing automatic cropping of uploaded photos. Ready and correctly prepared universal size photo can be used with the same effect as a photograph for a specific document. You can obtain the photograph on our website - Passport Photo Online or instead of using a photo cropping tool visit the nearest photo point, which offers taking pictures in 40 on 50 milimetres (4 on 5 cm) format. For sure, however, this is a more time-consuming and more expensive solution. Thus it's worth using photo framing tool.
40 x 50 milimetres (4 by 5 cm) Photo background
Generally a photo for documents should have a uniform background. The background colour itself may differ depending on the specific document. As a general rule, however, it is a bright background, generally white (#ffffffff) or light grey (for example #fbfbfb), nevertheless, there may be a specific requirement regarding background of red - #fa1612. With passport-photo.online photo cropping tool you can get a photograph with a uniform bright background. Simply upload any photo to the form above and our Background Removal Tool will do its job and you will get a photograph 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 [email protected]

The equivalents of a 40 x 50 mm size photo are:

Proportions of the digital version of the 40 by 50 milimetres photo
In the case of digital version photographs only, it is important to maintain the correct proportions, i.e. the ratio of the 40 mm width to the 50 milimetres height. Depending on the resolution (dpi) of the printout, these can vary a lot regarding sizes expressed in pixels (px). For example, these can be dimensions:
- for dpi=100 resolution: 157 * 246 px (width = 157 pixels, and height 246 px)
- for dpi=300 resolution: 471 * 739 px (width = 471 pixels, and height 739 pixels)
