A 4 cm square photo

At 300 DPI, 4×4 cm is 472 × 472 pixels.

How it relates to 2×2 inches. The US-style 2×2 inch photo is about 5.1 cm square, so a 4×4 cm photo is noticeably smaller. Don't swap one for the other; if you need 2×2 inches, use the 2×2 inch page.

Framing a square. Centre the face, leave a little space above the head, and let the shoulders fill the bottom corners.

Neighbouring squares: 3.5×3.5 cm, 5×5 cm.

Frequently asked questions

Is 4×4 cm the same as a 2×2 inch photo?

How many photos of 4×4 cm fit on an A4 page?

About 24 on A4 and 24 on US Letter, leaving 5 mm margins and 3 mm between photos. On 4×6 inch photo paper you can fit 6.

What DPI should a 4×4 cm photo be?

300 DPI is the standard for photo prints and gives 472×472 pixels. Some offices accept 200 DPI (315×315); 600 DPI (945×945) is only needed for very high-quality printing.

What is 4×4 cm in other units?

4×4 cm is 40×40 mm, 1.57×1.57 in. Close sizes that are often confused with it: 3.81×3.81 cm, 38.1×38.1 mm.

Why does my 4×4 cm print come out the wrong size?

Most printers scale images to “fit page” by default. Choose “actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, and the photo will print at exactly 4×4 cm.

How large is a 4×4 cm photo file?

Usually 35 KB–70 KB as a JPG at 300 DPI. If an online form allows less, reduce it with the compressor — the print size stays the same.
