Switzerland ID card online 1980x1440px
Choose this page when the route ends in online upload and the stored file settings matter alongside the crop. This preset is digital-first, so visible crop, file format, and portal constraints all matter together.
Requirement summary
Upload rules matter as much as the crop
The route is explicitly marked for online submission, so file settings deserve the same attention as the crop itself. Keep the crop inside the saved head-size range, then export near 1980×1440 px and about 40-10240 KB if the destination system expects that version. This page is a working guide, not official approval, so the latest authority wording still matters before submission.
- Stored size: 1,980×1,440 px
- Head height target: about 62%
- Stored pixels: 1980×1440 px
- File window: about 40-10240 KB
- Submission route in source data: online upload
Need a clean background first?
Use a separate background-removal tool first, then come back here to match the crop, size, and final export.

Who this format is for
Start by matching the document route, not the size alone.
Use this page when the checklist, search query, or local office wording refers to ID card online or to the exact Switzerland ID card online 1980x1440px phrasing.
The imported page is explicitly tagged for online submission, so pixel and file constraints deserve a direct check.
ID-card pages are easy to confuse because many countries reuse the same physical size for different documents.
Exact size and cropping guidance

- Stored pixels: 1980×1440 px
Digital vs print usage
Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.
Treat this route as digital-first. The crop has to look right, but the destination portal can still reject a file that misses its pixel, file-size, or format rules.
When the destination system expects a stored pixel variant, keep the export close to 1980×1440 px and about 40-10240 KB.
- Preferred format: JPG
- Allowed formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
- Stored file-size window: about 40-10240 KB
- Check the destination portal before you treat the job as finished.
What matters most for this specific document
The biggest rejection risk is not the same on every route.
ID card online is more about matching the exact document route than about finding any attractive 1,980×1,440 px portrait.
No direct official source link is attached to this route, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.
- Route match first: Switzerland ID card online 1980x1440px.
- Background rule on this route: Use a clean, evenly lit background with no distracting texture or objects.
- Technical target on this route: 1980×1440 px and about 40-10240 KB.
- Submission route in source data: online upload
- Headwear and edge shadows still need a human check: Keep headwear only when it is actually required and the face stays fully visible.
- The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.

How to use this profile in the editor
Keep the page guidance and the active preset aligned all the way through export.
This page is most useful when you open the editor from here, keep the ID card online route active, and finish that document route before any risky retouching.
- Open the editor from this page so Switzerland ID card online 1980x1440px loads as the active preset instead of a nearby route.
- Upload a source portrait with some room around the head and shoulders so the final ratio can be solved with crop, not distortion.
- Adjust the crop until head height is close to 62% and the top margin is near 10%.
- Check the measurable rules, file settings, and destination workflow before export.
- Preview and export should stay on the same crop geometry.
- If the route stores 1980×1440 px and about 40-10240 KB, keep those settings through export instead of resizing the downloaded file again.
