A 3×4 ratio is not a complete print specification

This preset means 3 cm wide and 4 cm high. The crop ratio is 3:4, but the actual output pixels depend on DPI. At 300 DPI, the rounded output is 354×472 pixels; at 600 DPI it is 709×945 pixels.

Changing DPI cannot add detail to the source. Choose an image with enough resolution, frame it carefully and inspect the subject in the output preview. Use the custom resizer if your destination asks for exact pixel dimensions instead of centimetres.

Choose what stays inside the frame

Move the crop box to position the subject. Drag its lower-right handle to change the area, or use the numerical fields for precise control. The box keeps a 3:4 ratio so the image is cropped rather than squeezed into shape.

This tool does not verify a face, replace the background or check official document rules. Follow the receiving organisation's current requirements for framing, expression, background and permitted editing. A correctly sized photo is only one part of that requirement.

Check the optional byte limit separately

If a file-size cap is enabled, JPG quality is adjusted within the chosen output dimensions. The tool does not shrink the required 3×4 pixel output silently. If the cap is too small, change the cap or DPI only when your task permits it.

For a different print size use the 4×6 cm preset. For explanations of DPI, pixel rounding and print scaling, read the dimensions guide.

Questions, answered

Is this a 3×4 inch photo?

No. This preset uses centimetres. For inches, open the custom resizer and choose the inch unit.

Does it automatically approve a passport or application photo?

No. It provides cropping and sizing. The receiving organisation decides whether the photo meets its content and document rules.

Why might the printed size differ?

A print app may ignore density metadata or apply fit-to-page scaling. Check the print settings and the actual dimensions on paper.
