    Common sizes

    Passport photos are often 3.5 × 4.5 cm; signatures for some exam forms 4 × 2 cm or 6 × 2 cm. Always use the size in your notice.

    Questions

    What DPI should I choose?

    Use the DPI your form or printer asks for. 300 DPI is standard for printing; many online forms accept 200.

    Will the photo be stretched?

    Not unless you tick Stretch; otherwise it keeps its shape. Use Crop first to get the exact shape.
