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 support@passport-photo.online.
40 x 50 mm Photograph equivalents
The equivalents of a 40 x 50 mm size photo are:
- 4 x 5 centimetres photograph (i.e. photo's width 4 cm and height 5 cm)

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 x 197 px (width = 157 pixels, and height 197 pixels)
- for dpi=300 resolution: 472 x 591 px (width = 472 pixels, and height 591 pixels)
- for dpi=600 resolution: 945 x 1181 px (width = 945 pixels, and height 1181 pixels)
How to prepare yourself?
Distance from the camera
Take the photo from a distance of about 20 inches from your face. Ideally, the photo should be taken by another person.
Face in front of the camera
Place your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression on your face. Hold the camera at face height.
Even lighting
Just stand facing a light source such as an exposed window. Don't worry about the background.
