Printing tips
When printing passport or visa photos, use actual size / 100% scale. Do not use fit-to-page, borderless enlargement or automatic scaling unless the authority or print shop tells you to do so. If an online portal asks for one digital photo, upload the single photo file instead of the printable sheet.
