About Special photo sizes
Passport, visa, driving licence and social-security-card photo sizes for specific countries.
Photo sizes are given as width × height in millimetres; print shops also quote them in inches (1-inch, 2-inch) or as R sizes (4R, 5R).
At 300 DPI, multiply the inch size by 300 to get the pixel size: a 1-inch photo (25 × 35 mm) is about 295 × 413 px.
