What size is an Argentina passport photo?+
An Argentina passport photo is 4 x 4 cm (40 x 40 mm) (472 × 472 pixels at 300 DPI). The head must measure 28 to 32 mm from chin to the top of the head. This tool crops to those exact dimensions for you, so you don't have to measure anything by hand.
Why was my Argentina passport photo rejected?+
The most common reasons an Argentina photo gets rejected are: the wrong print size (it must be 4 x 4 cm (40 x 40 mm)), the head being too large or too small in the frame (it should be 28 to 32 mm tall), a background that isn't white, shadows on the face or background, a smile (a neutral expression is required), or wearing glasses (they're not allowed). Setting the country here applies the correct size and head height automatically, which removes the most frequent mistakes.
What background colour does an Argentina passport photo need?+
Argentina accepts a white background. The optional background tool can swap a plain near-white wall behind you for the colour you pick, so you can shoot at home and still meet the rule.
Can I use this Argentina photo for both digital upload and printing?+
Yes. Download a single JPG for online Argentina applications, or download the 4×6 inch print sheet PDF. It tiles your photo at 4 x 4 cm (40 x 40 mm) with cut marks so any drugstore or photo counter can print it. Both files are made in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.
