30×40 mm
30×40 mm passport photo size
30×40 millimetres is a compact portrait format used by Brazilian and Spanish identity documents in our requirements catalog — smaller than the common 35×45 mm ICAO size. At 300 DPI that converts to 354×472 pixels with a 3:4 aspect ratio.

Documents using 30×40 mm in our catalog
- br-passport — Brazilian Passport (354×472 px @ 300 DPI, white background)
- es-passport — Spanish Passport / DNI (354×472 px @ 300 DPI, white background)
Typical rules at this size
Both catalog entries specify head height 70–80% of frame height, eye line 55–70% from bottom, neutral expression, no glasses, and plain white background. Do not reuse a 35×45 mm crop — the aspect ratio is shorter and wider relative to height than Schengen.
Print conversion
30×40 mm equals roughly 1.18×1.57 inches. Photo kiosks in Brazil and Spain may label this as 3×4 cm. PicsForm exports at catalog pixel dimensions for digital submission.
