Why choose 1.5×1.5 inch?
A 1.5×1.5 inch photo measures 38.1×38.1 mm, 3.81×3.81 cm. It is widely requested for ID cards, passport-style photos and application forms, and prints sharply at 450×450 pixels (300 DPI).

Small squares that print cleanly
At 300 DPI, 1.5 inches is 450 pixels, so this page produces a 450 × 450 image with the print size saved inside.
Pin badges. A 1.5-inch badge shows a 1.5-inch face, but the printed artwork is usually larger so it can wrap round the edge — often about 1.85 inches. Check your badge maker's template and resize to that size if asked.
Stickers. Bold shapes and large text read best. Keep anything important at least 1/16 inch from the edge.
Photos. For a face at this size, crop from just above the hair to the chin.
Same size in mm: 38.1×38.1 mm. Smaller: 1×1 inch. Larger: 2×2 inch.
