Photo 30x40 MM (3 X 4 CM) - All You Need to Know

Regarding the 30 x 40 mm photo

The requirements for documentary photographs may differ, especially in terms of size and framing. If you want to obtain a professional photo that is suitable for various documents, often the best solution is to choose a universal photo with pre-set size. E.g., for a given format: 30 x 40 milimetres - meaning 3 on 4 centimetres, you can use the cropping tool available on our page. Shortly we would 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 photographer who will take professional photographs for documents in the size 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, hence, using photo maker with option of automatic framing may be the best solution.

Background of the 30 x 40 milimetres (3 by 4 cm) photograph

Normally a document photo should have a uniform background. The background colour itself can vary depending on the specific application. Generally, however, it is a bright background, often white (#ffffffff) or light grey (e.g. #f9f9f9), however, there can be a particular requirement regarding background of light blue colour - #1292fa.

With passport-photo.online photo generator tool you can get a photo with a uniform bright background. Simply upload any photograph 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].

Equivalents of the 30 x 40 milimetres photo

The equivalents of a 30 x 40 mm size photograph are:

  • 3 x 4 cm photo (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 version of the 30 by 40 milimetres photo

In the case of photos only in electronic form, it is important to maintain the correct proportions, i.e. the ratio of the 30 milimetres width to the 40 mm height. Depending on the resolution (dpi) of the printout, these may differ a lot in sizes expressed in pixels (px). E.g., these may be dimensions:

  • for dpi=100 resolution: 118 * 139 px (width = 118 px, and height 139 pixels)
  • for dpi=300 resolution: 354 * 418 px (width = 354 px, and height 418 pixels)
  • for dpi=600 resolution: 708 * 835 px (width = 708 px, and height 835 px)
