1 × 1 inch photo requirements
| Photo size | 1 × 1 in (25 × 25 mm) |
|---|---|
| Pixels at 300 DPI | 300 × 300 px |
| Head height | 60–75% of the photo height |
| Background | White |
| Colour | Colour photo, sharp and evenly lit |
Because the photo is so small, the face needs to fill most of it. Keep the head between about 60% and 75% of the height, with a plain white background.
How to take the photo
Find a plain, light wall
Stand about half a metre in front of it so your shadow falls behind you, not on the wall around your head.
Face the light
Daylight from a window in front of you works best. Avoid overhead lights that cast shadows under the eyes.
Have someone take it at eye level
The camera should be about 1.2 m (4 ft) away, level with your eyes. Leave space above your head and include your shoulders.
Crop it here
Add the photo above, check that the top of your head and your chin sit on the red lines, and download.
Tips for this document
- Ask whether the office wants a name tag under the photo; if so, leave space when you crop.
- One 4 × 6 print holds many 1 × 1 photos.

Printing your photos
Download the print sheet and print it at a photo shop, a pharmacy photo counter or at home on photo paper. Choose actual size or 100% in the print settings; “fit to page” shrinks the photos and they will be the wrong size. Cut along the small corner marks so each photo measures exactly 25.4 × 25.4 mm.
