Searchers often confuse 4×6 cm photo paper with passport face dimensions. In metric markets, 10×15 cm / 4×6 inch sheets are used to print multiple passport photos — the face crop itself is usually 51×51 mm (US) or 35×45 mm (Europe), not 40×60 mm.

Paper size vs face size
No document in the PicsForm catalog uses 40×60 mm (4×6 cm) as the applicant face crop.
More details
No document in the PicsForm catalog uses 40×60 mm (4×6 cm) as the applicant face crop. Instead, 4×6 cm or 10×15 cm paper holds several copies: for example four US 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) photos on one sheet, or two 35×45 mm portraits with margins.

Frequently asked questions
Is my passport photo 4×6 cm?
Unlikely — your face photo is probably 35×45 mm or 51×51 mm. 4×6 cm usually refers to the paper sheet.
How many 2×2 photos fit on 4×6?
Typically four US 2×2 inch photos on a 4×6 inch (10×15 cm) sheet with standard spacing.
Can I upload a full 4×6 sheet to DS-160?
No — DS-160 needs a single 600×600 px square face crop, not a print sheet scan.
What document should I select in PicsForm?
Pick your passport or visa document — not a paper size. We generate the face crop; Print Ready adds sheet layout.
