What to know about this size
“3x4” means centimetres: 3 cm wide by 4 cm tall, that is, 30 × 40 mm, portrait.
It isn’t the Spanish ID photo: the DNI and the Spanish passport need 26 × 32 mm, and most visas 35 × 45 mm. In many Latin American countries any ID photo is called “3x4”; check your application’s size before printing.
Of the documents we prepare, 2 use exactly 30 × 40 mm. If yours isn't in the table, search for it in the tool: each document carries its official size.

Why check it instead of just cropping it
Size is only one of the rules.
Cropping to size isn't enough: each document also sets the head size inside the photo, the exact background colour and sharpness. That's why two photos of the same size can work for one application and not for another.
The checked photo reviews framing, head size, background, lighting and sharpness against the rules of the document you choose and, when needed, applies the background it asks for. You see the watermarked result before you pay; then you download it without the watermark, with the print sheet, from €7.99.
If the office rejects it for not meeting the requirements, we refund you: refund policy.
