What is a China Passport Photo?

A China Passport Photo is the official identity photograph used for passport applications. It must meet strict government specifications so that facial-recognition systems can match it reliably at borders and on identity documents: exact dimensions of 33×48 mm (at least 390×567 pixels for digital submission), a plain White background, a neutral expression, and the head occupying roughly 65% of the frame height. Submitting a photo that misses any of these is one of the most common reasons an application is delayed or rejected, so it is worth validating against the official spec before you apply. Our AI checks every requirement automatically and crops your photo to the exact dimensions for this document type.

Tips for a Perfect China Passport Photo

📏 Use the right dimensions

China Passport Photo must be exactly 33×48mm (390×567px digital). Our AI crops to pixel-level precision — no manual resizing needed.

🎨 White background

Use a plain White background. Avoid patterns, shadows, or textures. Our AI removes your background and replaces it with the correct colour automatically.

💡 Even lighting

Stand facing a window or light source. Avoid overhead lights that cast shadows on your face. Both sides of your face should be equally lit.

😐 Neutral expression

Keep your mouth closed, eyes open, and look directly at the camera. Remove glasses. Ensure your hair doesn't cover your face or eyebrows.

Common China Passport Photo Rejection Reasons

✗

Wrong size: The photo is not 33×48mm or the head occupies less than 50% or more than 70% of the frame.

✗

Incorrect background: The background has patterns, shadows, or is not the required White colour.

✗

Glasses or headwear: Glasses are visible (most countries now ban them), or headwear covers the hairline or casts shadows.

✗

Expression or gaze: Smiling, mouth open, eyes closed, or looking away from the camera.

✗

Poor lighting or shadows: Uneven lighting, shadows on the face or background, or underexposed/overexposed image.

HaaFoto's AI catches all of these before you submit. If your photo is rejected despite using our service, we refund 100% (or 200% with Expert Review).
