Questions about 51×51 mm photos
How many pixels is a 51×51 mm photo?
A 51×51 mm photo is 602×602 px at 300 DPI. Anything smaller is upscaled when it is printed and loses the detail the clerk checks.
How big should the head be in a 51×51 mm photo?
The head should measure 25–35 mm from chin to crown, centred in the frame, with the eyes looking straight into the lens.
What background does a 51×51 mm photo need?
Most documents at this size ask for #FFFFFF: plain, evenly lit and with no shadow behind the head. Check your own document's page for its exact colour.
How do I print a 51×51 mm photo at home?
Print the sheet we generate on 10×15 cm or A4 photo paper at 300 DPI and cut along the guides. The sheet already repeats the photo at exactly 51×51 mm.
