Making a 3×4 cm ID photo
At 300 DPI, 3×4 cm is 354 × 472 pixels — the 3:4 shape of an upright phone photo, so very little is cropped.
Framing. Head and top of the shoulders, face centred, eyes about a third of the way down. Drag the preview to position it.
Background. Many schools and employers ask for a plain red, blue or white background. Resizing does not change the background — take the photo against a plain wall.
Several copies? Print shops can place many 3×4 cm photos on one 6×4 inch sheet.
Also common: 4×6 cm, 3.5×4.5 cm.

Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
