In Brazil, “foto 3x4” means a small portrait 3 cm wide and 4 cm tall. Enrolment lists, course registrations, membership cards and many other forms simply ask for “uma foto 3x4 recente” without further detail. This page crops your picture to that size and lays out copies for printing. Treeet is an unofficial tool and not linked to any Brazilian authority or institution.
What “3x4” means
- Width 3 cm, height 4 cm: a portrait, taller than it is wide.
- In pixels at 300 DPI: 354 × 472.
- In inches: about 1.18 × 1.57.
- It is a size, not a full set of rules. Background, colour and how recent the photo must be depend on who asks for it.
An example of the request
The federal institute IFMG, on its Congonhas campus, lists “uma foto recente 3x4” as the first item among the documents for enrolment, with no further specification. That is typical: the form gives the size and leaves the rest to common sense. When there is no other instruction, a recent colour photo on a plain light background, facing the camera, is the safe choice.
Some documents have their own photo rules or take the photo at the counter, so if your form names a document or service, read its instructions first.
How to make the photo
- Stand in front of a plain, light wall in daylight and look straight at the camera.
- Ask someone to take the picture at eye level, from a metre or two away.
- Add the photo above. The frame is already 3 × 4 cm.
- Zoom so your head and the top of your shoulders fill the frame, then confirm the crop.
- Download the sheet and print it at a photo shop as a 10 × 15 cm (4 × 6 in) print at actual size.
Printing at a shop or at home
The 4 × 6 inch sheet is the same as a standard 10 × 15 cm photo print and holds ten copies. If you print at home, switch Print sheet to A4 paper: one page holds 45 copies, with a margin a home printer can manage. In both cases turn off any option that fits or enlarges the picture, or the copies will no longer be 3 × 4 cm.
Check one copy with a ruler before cutting them all: it should be exactly 3 cm wide and 4 cm tall.
If the form asks for a digital file
Online forms sometimes ask for the 3x4 photo as a file. Switch Download to Just the photo to get the 354 × 472 pixel JPG. If the form sets a size limit in KB, choose it under File size limit.

Questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
Is this an official tool?
No. Treeet is independent and unofficial. Whoever asked for the photo decides whether it is accepted.
Can I get just the digital file?
Yes. Set Download to Just the photo to get the 354 × 472 pixel JPG without a print sheet.
What size is a 3x4 photo in cm?
3 cm wide by 4 cm tall.
How many pixels is a 3x4 photo?
At 300 DPI, 354 × 472 pixels. That is the JPG you download here.
Does a 3x4 photo need a white background?
The size itself says nothing about the background. Follow the instructions of the form; when there are none, a plain light background is the safe choice.
Can I make a 3x4 photo on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in the phone’s browser, take or choose a photo, crop it and download the sheet.
