Brazil uses Canada's 50 by 70 mm sheet and frames it quite differently: 50 to 60 per cent of the height goes to the head, against 44 to 51. The background rule is tighter too — plain white, without the latitude a phrase like light-coloured allows.
How much of the frame the head has to fill
Multiply 70 mm by the ends of the band and you get 35 and 42 mm: a seven-millimetre window, or 827 to 992 pixels at 600 dpi. What sits outside the head shrinks from 35 mm to 28 across that range, so the shoulders stay in shot while the face owns the frame. Drift below 35 mm and you have made a Canadian photo by accident.
What gets this one sent back
- Plain white means white, not the off-white or light grey other specifications allow. A magnolia wall under a warm bulb reads as cream.
- The no-accessories line is short, so read it broadly: nothing added to the head or face, not a list with arguable gaps.
- Canada's 31 to 36 mm head and Brazil's 35 to 42 overlap by one millimetre, so a spare Canadian print rarely serves twice.
Half a metre clear of the wall so your shadow falls behind you, camera at about 1.5 metres so the lens does not widen your nose, soft light from the front. Take several.
Getting the print right
50×70 mm is a physical instruction; 1181×1654 pixels is what it becomes at 600 dpi. The head band follows the same conversion — 50–60% of 70 mm is 35.0–42.0 mm, or 827–992 pixels in the exported file.
No digital ceiling is published for this one, which means the print is the binding version and the file only has to survive being printed. Use the sheet rather than sending a single image to a shop — several copies at true size on one page costs the same and covers the spare everyone ends up needing.
Print at 100%, not "fit to page" — the default shrink is invisible to you and measurable to whoever checks it.
How it works
- 01Add a recent photoFacing the camera, plain wall behind. HEIC from an iPhone works directly.
- 02Frame it to 50×70 mmDrag and zoom until your head fills 50–60% of the frame height, matching the dashed guide.
- 03Check the warningsThe border area is measured against "plain white" and flagged if it is uneven.
