China Passport Photo Maker Online — common questions

What size is a Chinese passport photo?

Chinese passport photos use the same 33 × 48 mm format as Chinese visas, with identical head-height (28 – 33 mm) and head-width (15 – 22 mm) requirements. Background must be plain white. Chinese passports issued in 2026 onward include a biometric chip with a stored face template, so the photo must pass automated face-landmark detection at submission.

What is the official China Passport Photo Maker Online size?

The official China Passport Photo Maker Online size is 33 mm × 48 mm (1.30 in × 1.89 in). For digital uploads it equals 390 × 567 px at 300 DPI.

What background color is required for a China Passport Photo Maker Online?

China Passport Photo Maker Online photos must be taken on a plain white background, evenly lit and free of shadows or patterns.

How big should the face appear in a China Passport Photo Maker Online photo?

The head should fill approximately 70–80% of the photo height, with eyes positioned in the upper-middle of the frame and a neutral expression looking straight at the camera.

Can I take a China Passport Photo Maker Online photo at home?

Yes. Use a recent phone photo against a plain wall, with even daylight and no glasses. Our tool then crops, recolors the background, and resizes to the official 33 mm × 48 mm template.
