One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 35 × 40 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 413 × 472 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.

How to take a 35x40mm Photo with your phone
Variant of the standard size
35×40 mm is the world-standard 35×45 rectangle with five millimetres removed from the height; it appears on specific order forms and studio slips, rather than on this site's document pages. When a form names it, the required size is that one; when a form names 35×45, the required size is 35×45.
Difference from the standard size
The five-millimetre gap between 35×40 and 35×45 is the difference between this page and the world-standard page, and forms do not treat the two sizes as one. Print from the page the form names.
Setup and lighting
Plain white wall, frontal light, camera at eye level. The shorter height reduces the room above the head; keep the margin modest so the head keeps its share of the frame.
What this page outputs
The preset crops to the exact 35×40 mm rectangle on white at print resolution, with head position, background and ratio checked before export.
Why 35x40mm Photo gets rejected
Home trimming from the standard size
A 35×45 print trimmed at home to 35×40 usually takes the crop off the chin side or cuts it crooked; the form measures the print that arrives. Export at the size itself.
Head room in the shorter frame
Five millimetres less height leaves five millimetres less room for the head band; a head framed large for 35×45 arrives cropped at the crown in 35×40. Frame with the shorter rectangle in mind from the start.
Common faults
Shadows, tilts, and off-white walls are the standard refusals, and the frame hides none of them.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a 35x40mm Photo?
The standard size is 35 × 40 mm (413 × 472 px at 300 DPI). The tool crops and scales your photo to exact requirements automatically.
Can I smile in the photo?
Requirements call for: a natural expression. When in doubt, keep a neutral face with both eyes open.
How recent must the photo be?
Old photos are a common rejection reason.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.
Can I take it with my phone?
Yes. Plain white wall, even light, eye-level camera; the tool handles the exact 35×40 mm crop and background.
Is 35×40 mm the same as 35×45 mm?
No — the height differs by 5 mm, and forms check it; use the preset your form names.
