3x4 Photo: Size and Use
A 3x4 image measures three cm in width by four cm in height. But what is the 3x4 photo size in inches or pixels? Here are the photo’s size equivalents in other popular measuring units:
- 30 x 40 mm (millimeters)
- 1.18 x 1.57 in (inches)
- 354 x 472 px (pixels)
Although not the most popular ID photo size, you may need a 3x4 picture for a:
- Visa to Mongolia
- Visa to Portugal
- Visa to Romania
The size might also be required for local identity documents like driver’s licenses, student cards, etc. In such cases, a 3x4 photo must also meet requirements other than correct measurements.
3x4 photo requirements for official IDs
Pictures for official IDs need to follow several generally accepted technical guidelines.
Check them below:
- Background: Plain-colored. Usually white, off-white, or shades of gray and blue.
- Recency: Taken in the last six months (in some cases, one month).
- Quality: No shadows, pixelation, or blur. Your face must be evenly lit.
- Printouts: High-quality photographic paper in matte or glossy finish.
- Filters: No digital alterations, including red-eye removal.
- Resolution: Between 300 and 600 DPI.
- Photo composition: The head should take up 70–80% of the image, and the top part of your shoulders must be visible.
Note that, depending on the document type and country, additional rules may apply.
