How to print a document photo at Pixum

Pixum is a convenient way to get printed document photos in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. But a print service doesn't fit your photo to the official standard — that has to be done first. The flow is simple: we prepare the compliant digital file (exact size, background and head proportions), and Pixum prints it by ordering online and uploading your file or with mail delivery.

Good to know: Pixum prints a full sheet of ID photos from your file and mails it to you.

That way you get both compliance (our part) and a familiar local service close to home (Pixum). The file is universal — good for online submission and for self-printing.

A few practical notes. A document photo is small (usually 35 × 45 mm, or 2 × 2 inches in the US), so several copies fit on a single 4×6 / 10×15 cm print — handy and economical. Bring the ready file whichever way suits you: via the link in our email, straight from your phone, or on a USB stick. When ordering, confirm the print size so the photos aren't cropped.
