How to Set KTP Size in Word to Match CM, MM, and Inch Standards

Kapanlagi.com - KTP Size in Word becomes important when someone needs to create a copy of an identity card for administrative purposes. Proper dimension settings help the KTP image in the document to match the size of the physical card and not change when printed.

Many users experience problems when inserting photos or scanned results of the KTP into Microsoft Word because the image size can be too large or too small. To ensure the results meet the standards, the KTP size needs to be adjusted manually based on ISO/IEC 7810 regulations.

This standard specifies the dimensions of the Indonesian electronic KTP as 85.60 x 53.98 mm or equivalent to 8.56 x 5.398 cm. This figure serves as a reference when setting the width and height of the KTP image in Word before the printing process.

1. Understanding the Size Standard of ID Cards Used in Word

The size of the ID card in Word actually refers to the image dimension settings to resemble a physical identity card. The Indonesian electronic ID card follows the international standard ISO 7810 type ID-1.

The ID-1 format is also used for various other cards such as ATM cards, credit cards, and driver's licenses. According to this standard, the card size is 85.60 mm in length and 53.98 mm in width with a nominal thickness of about 0.76 mm.

Since Microsoft Word typically uses centimeters or inches, the size in millimeters needs to be converted first. This adjustment is made to ensure that the ID card image does not change proportion when enlarged or reduced.

In addition to physical ID cards, the public can also use the digital version through the Digital Population Identity application. However, for certain document needs, a copy of the physical ID card is still often required.

2. ID Card Size Details in CM, MM, Inches, and Pixels

Before inserting the ID card image into Word, it is important to know the standard size that should be used. According to the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 38 of 2009 regarding the specifications of ID cards based on NIK, the card size follows the ISO/IEC 7810 standard.

Here are the details of the standard ID card size:

• Centimeters (cm): 8.56 x 5.398 cm.
• Millimeters (mm): 85.60 x 53.98 mm.
• Inches: approximately 3.37 x 2.13 inches.
• Pixels: approximately 323 x 204 pixels at 96 dpi resolution.
• Print resolution: it is recommended to use 300 dpi for sharper results.
• Thickness: approximately 0.76 mm.
• Rounded corner radius: approximately 2.88 to 3.48 mm.

The conversion of these sizes uses certain rounding, so it is best not to mix units arbitrarily. In practice, adjusting the width and height of the image is the most important part to ensure that the printed result resembles the size of the original card.

The ID card size, which is the same as other identification cards in the ISO 7810 standard, also makes this format easily recognizable when used alongside other cards such as ATM cards or driving licenses.

3. Steps to Set KTP Size in Microsoft Word

After knowing the appropriate size, the KTP image settings in Word can be done without additional applications. Users just need to insert a photo or scan of the card, then adjust its size through the image settings menu.

Here are the steps:

1. Open Microsoft Word and create a new document through the New > Blank Document menu.
2. Insert the photo or scan of the KTP by selecting Insert > Pictures.
3. Crop the image using the Picture Format > Crop menu to remove unnecessary parts.
4. Right-click on the image, then select Size and Position or open the size settings through the Picture Format tab.
5. Uncheck the Lock aspect ratio option so that height and width can be adjusted separately.
6. Fill in the Height section with a size of 5.4 cm as a rounding from 5.398 cm.
7. Enter the Width size as 8.56 cm.
8. If using Word in Indonesian, the decimal point in the size may change to a comma.
9. Select Wrap Text > In Front of Text to make the image easier to move.
10. Copy the image if you want to print multiple KTPs on one page, including the front and back.

The Lock aspect ratio option needs to be considered because this setting affects the shape of the image. If the image does not have the correct ratio, the printed result may appear stretched or shrunk.

4. How to Print an ID Card from Word So It Doesn't Print Upside Down

Once the image size is correct, the printing process can be done using a regular printer. Users need to ensure that the paper settings and image position are correct before printing.

The steps to print an ID card through Word are:

1. Press Ctrl + P or open the File > Print menu.
2. Select the printer to be used.
3. Set the paper size such as A4 or F4.
4. Select color printing mode or Grayscale if black and white results are needed.
5. Click Print and wait for the process to finish.
6. Cut the printed result following the shape of the card if necessary.

To print a double-sided ID card, place the front side on the first page and the back side on the next page. If the printer supports duplex printing, use the Print on Both Sides option. Meanwhile, printers without this feature can be used by printing one side first, then flipping the paper to print the other side.

The type of paper can also affect the final result. Choosing the right paper helps make the copy appear clearer, especially if used for administrative purposes.

5. Tips for Making KTP Prints in Word More Precise

Some additional settings can help produce a neater KTP copy. One of them is to use a scan result with sufficiently high quality so that the text and photo remain clear.

Here are some tips that can be applied:

• Use a scan result of at least 300 dpi to keep the KTP details sharp.
• Crop the image instead of stretching the corners of the image carelessly.
• Activate Gridlines through the View > Gridlines menu to help position the image.
• Adjust the paper type and size according to printing needs.
• Use color prints if the document requires a color copy.
• Save the Word file so that the size settings do not need to be redone when printing again.

If the KTP file will be sent online, the photo size can also be compressed to reduce its capacity. Before being used for various administrative purposes, ensure that the population data remains valid.

By understanding the KTP size in Word, users can create identity copies with dimensions that meet the standards. The size of 8.56 x 5.398 cm serves as the main reference to ensure that the printout remains proportional and neat.
