The Argentine «foto carnet» — the 4 × 4 cm photo that schools, universities, employers, clubs, licence offices and many online forms ask for asks for a photo of 472 × 472 pixels, 40 × 40 mm at 300 DPI, under 1 MB, plain white background. Photo studios charge to hit numbers that are published for free; this page starts with those numbers already set. Take a selfie or pick a photo from your gallery, drag until your head fills the guide, and download the finished JPEG.
These are the numbers the institution asking for it (each publishes its own upload limit; RENAPER takes DNI and passport photos itself) commonly ask for; the exact figures could not be confirmed on an official page, so check the portal before you submit. The head should fill about 60–72% of the photo’s height, with a neutral expression, eyes open and nothing covering the face. The background cleaner turns any wall into the plain white background the rules ask for.
Everything runs inside your browser. The photo of your face never touches a server, and the page keeps working with the internet switched off.

In your browser; the photo is never uploaded
Not for: Judging the face itself — expression, glasses and lighting rules are checked by the authority, not by software.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, background cleaning and compression all run inside your browser on your own device. Your face never reaches a server, which is why the tool also works with the internet switched off.
Is this the DNI or passport photo?
No. RENAPER takes the photo itself when you renew a DNI or passport in person. The 4 × 4 carnet photo is what schools, universities, employers, clubs and many online forms ask you to upload or hand in — this page produces that file, and a print sheet if you need paper copies.
What file size do Argentine portals accept?
It varies by institution; most accept up to 1 MB, some cap it lower. Type the limit your form shows into the tool and the photo stays under it.
What size does the argentina 4×4 carnet photo have to be?
472 × 472 pixels, 40 × 40 mm at 300 DPI, under 1 MB, plain white background. These are the numbers the institution asking for it (each publishes its own upload limit; RENAPER takes DNI and passport photos itself) commonly ask for; the exact figures could not be confirmed on an official page, so check the portal before you submit.
Why do photos get rejected?
Most rejections are technical, not about the face: wrong proportions — the print must be 4 × 4 cm; background not plain white; head too small; it should fill about two thirds of the height. This page fixes the technical ones automatically.
Can I use a photo taken by a friend?
Yes. A phone photo taken from about a metre away, in daylight, against any plain wall, is the best starting point. Avoid a selfie held too close, which distorts the face.
Can I print it as well as upload it?
Yes. The JPEG carries a 300 DPI stamp so it prints at 40 × 40 mm; choose a print format in the tool to get a sheet ready for the photo shop.
What if my form asks for a different number?
Pick Custom size in the tool and type the pixels and the kilobyte limit the form shows. The same cropping guide and compressor apply.
