Preparing a 4×5 cm photo

At 300 DPI, 4×5 cm is 472 × 591 pixels — the same shape as an Instagram portrait post, just at print size.

In millimetres it is 40×50 mm; some forms write it that way. See the 40×50 mm page.

Framing. The 4:5 shape is close to an upright phone photo, so little is cropped. Keep the face centred with a small gap above the head.

Check the rules. Visa photos often specify head height, background colour and even whether glasses are allowed. The size is only one of the requirements.

Nearby: 4×6 cm, 3.5×4.5 cm.
