China visa photo (33×48 mm)
Chinese visa applications need a 33×48 mm colour photo with a white or near-white background and no frame. The head must be 28–33 mm from chin to crown and 15–22 mm wide, facing the camera with both ears visible and no glasses. This tool applies those measurements automatically.
Rules change and some countries only accept photos taken by approved photographers or booths. Check your authority’s current requirements before you apply.
How it works
- Take a front-facing photo with your ears visible, no glasses and even light.
- Drop it here; the photo is cropped to 33×48 mm with a white background.
- Download the photo or the print sheet for your application.
FAQ
Can I wear glasses in a China visa photo?
No, glasses are not accepted, and the ears should be visible.
Is the China visa photo the same as the passport size?
No. It is taller than the common 35×45 mm size, so use this 33×48 mm layout.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Face detection, background removal and cropping all run in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.
