Concerning the 35 x 40 milimetres photo

Depending on the document you are going to apply for, the dimensions of the photo can be considerably different. Sometimes the simplest way is to choose a universal photo in electronic form, from which you will be able to cut out any format you need, for example 35 x 40 milimetres. Our photo cropping tool will help you with it, providing automatic cropping of uploaded photos.

You can get the photograph on our website - Passport Photo Online or instead of using a cropping tool visit the nearest photo booth, which offers taking pictures in 35 on 40 milimetres (3,5 on 4 cm) format. Certainly, however, this is a more time-consuming and more costly solution. Thus it's worth using photo framing tool.

35 x 40 milimetres (3,5 by 4 centimetres) Photograph background

Often, however, it is a bright background, often white (#ffffffff) or light grey (for example #f7f7f7), however, there can be a particular requirement regarding background of red - #fa1612.

With passport-photo.online photo cropping tool you can get a photo with a uniform bright background. Just upload any photo to the form above and our Background Removal Tool will do its job and you will get a photograph on the perfectly 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].
