Questions
What size is a China passport photo?
33 x 48 mm, with the head (crown to chin) between 28 and 33 mm. As a digital file this tool outputs 420 x 560 px. Rules per National Immigration Administration.
What background does a China passport photo need?
Plain white. If your photo was taken against the wrong background, the background replacement feature swaps it for a compliant one on your device.
Can I take the photo myself with a phone?
Yes. Have someone take it (or use a timer) from about 1.5 meters away at eye level, facing a window or even light, against a plain wall. Then upload it here: the tool aligns your head to the official guides automatically and crops to the exact size.
How do I print it?
Download the free single photo for digital submissions, or get the Pro print sheet ($9 once): multiple copies tiled on a standard 4x6 or A4 sheet you can print at any pharmacy or photo kiosk for under a dollar.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, face detection, and background removal all run inside your browser. The photo never leaves your device, which matters for an identity document.
