What Is a 35×40mm Photo?

A 35×40mm photo is a mid-size portrait format — wider than it is tall compared with the common 35×45mm standard.

  • Physical size: 35×40mm (about 1.38×1.57 inches)
  • Pixels at 300 DPI: 413×472px
  • Pixels at 350 DPI: 482×551px — match the resolution your issuer states
  • 7:8 aspect ratio — noticeably different from the 35×45mm standard

Common Uses

Honest answer from our verified database of 40+ country specs and 400+ China domestic specs: we could not verify a major official document that requires exactly 35×40mm. Nearby, frequently-confused specs include:

  • China exit-entry document photo (出入境证件): 30×40mm (354×472px at 300 DPI) — narrower, not 35mm wide
  • China 小二寸 / civil service exam photo: 35×45mm (413×531px at 300 DPI) — taller, not 40mm high
  • China 二寸 photo: 35×49mm (413×579px at 300 DPI) — taller still
  • If your issuer wrote 35×40mm, follow it exactly — and double-check they didn't mean 35×45mm

1

Choose the spec

Open the /id-photo tool and enter a custom 35×40mm (413×472px) size.

Upload a photo

Take a selfie against a plain wall or upload an existing shot. It is uploaded only when you choose AI processing; use the non-AI workflow for authorities that prohibit editing.

4

Download or print

Pay $1 for the exact-pixel HD file, or $2 for a 300-DPI print sheet with multiple copies on one page.

Background & Compliance Notes

  • Background: plain white or light-colored is the safe default — our AI replaces it automatically
  • Because 35×40mm is uncommon, confirm the exact written requirement with the issuer before ordering
  • The issuer's own rules always prevail over any general guide
