print custom size photo

[DBX]

How do I print a passport size photo?  How do I reduce the size of the photo so that I can cut the edges to size? Thank you.

Next,

Install / Use a print program / software / application that supports printing your photo in the exact size you need.

Note that Passport photos might be a print size not found in at least some more common programs or apps.

Check the apps you have to see if one of them supports the print size you want.

What if?

If your photo print software / apps do not include the custom print size you need,

Install and use a print software that supports printing photos at whatever small size you need for your passport photo.

Example - Irfanview - Small Custom Print Size

Pay attention to the Aspect Ratio -- that is, how well the print size you want matches the shape of the original image.

That means if you force the size you want and the dimensions do not match the original shape of the image, the image will be stretched to match the selected size -- the result might be OK or the print might look "funny" or misshapen.  In many cases, it is better to keep the Aspect Ratio (select it) and let the print size be slightly "other than the exact size" wanted.

Sample - Photo printed at 1.4 X 1.8 inches

Irfanview_Custom_Print_Size_3

Note that the software is smart and includes a number of features -- experiment if you do not get the results you want using the simpler example shown here..
