Taking pic that "Preserves" size

AI Thread Summary
To ensure images taken with a phone camera maintain the same physical dimensions (axb inches) when printed, it's essential to send them in a way that preserves their size. The images should be printed at a 1:1 scale at the receiving end. Combining the images into a PDF or pasting them into a Word or Visio document allows for better control over scaling and page size. It's crucial to confirm the recipient's printing specifications, including the desired physical size and DPI, to avoid issues with different paper sizes. This method helps save on shipping costs while ensuring compliance with size restrictions for physical submissions, such as passport or visa photos.

TL;DR Summary
I have a small set of images , all of same size, axb. How can I take a pic where the images come out in the same size axb ?
I have a small set of images , all of same size, axb. How can I take a (Phone camera) pic where the images come out in the same size axb ? I just need to send the actual physical pics elsewhere, or at least I need to provide these pics statisfying several specs , including dimension- wise from the originals.

If you have them already then just send them intact or combine into a pdf and send them. You can email them to your email acct and then download to your phone for sending via messaging if thats what you want to do.

Thanks. Thing is they must be turned in as physical pics, satisfying size restriction, not as a file. Then they would have to be printed at the receiving end while preserving size restriction. Edit: Trying to save on cost of sending it to a remote place.

So you need to send pictures that will be printed at the final destination at actual 1:1 size.

You can paste the pictures into a Word document or Visio document where you can control the scaling and the printer page size. Just be careful that you don't size them for 8.5"x11" paper and have them printed at the far end on Euro size or legal size paper...

Surely you just resize them to the required size and send them to the recipient? The recipient should tell you the physical size they want them printed and the DPI they are using when printing.
