4×6 cm print
4×6 cm and passport photo printing
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. 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.
Face sizes that print on 4×6 cm paper
- US passport / visa — 51×51 mm (2×2 in) — us-passport, us-visa, us-green-card
- UK / Schengen — 35×45 mm — gb-passport, eu-schengen-visa, and most EU documents
- Canada passport — 50×70 mm — ca-passport (may need larger paper)
- Brazil / Spain — 30×40 mm — br-passport, es-passport
PicsForm Print Ready sheets
Print Ready layouts place correctly spaced passport crops on standard photo paper so kiosk cuts match official dimensions. Always cut on the guides — extra white border can fail strict scanners.

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.
