Tiny squares need tight framing

At 300 DPI, 2.5×2.5 cm is 295 × 295 pixels.

Close to one inch. One inch is 2.54 cm; for forms asking for a 1×1 inch photo, use the 1×1 inch page (300×300 px).

Frame tightly. At 2.5 cm across, a face needs to fill most of the square to be recognisable. Crop from just above the hair to just below the chin.

Stickers and labels at this size print well from simple, high-contrast images.

Bigger squares: 3.5×3.5 cm, 38.1 mm.
