General photo size presets

These output presets are not necessarily official sizes in the selected country. The 1-inch, 2-inch, and small 2-inch presets follow Chinese photo-size conventions; 35 × 45 mm is used in several countries, but submission rules differ. Confirm the recipient’s requirements before using a preset.

1 Inch (25mm×35mm)

A Chinese-style 1-inch photo preset; confirm the recipient accepts it

2 Inch (35mm×53mm)

A Chinese-style 2-inch photo preset; confirm the recipient accepts it

Small 2 Inch (33mm×48mm)

A Chinese-style small 2-inch preset; confirm the recipient accepts it

5 Inch (89mm×127mm)

5-inch photo print

Original Size

Keeps the source pixels; no fixed print size

School, hospital, and workplace ID portraits

Set by each institution

Student or campus cards, employee badges, and hospital IDs

There is no single print size to assume for these uploads. Follow the school, employer, or hospital portal’s exact pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, file-size, background, and framing requirements.
