China passport photo size in pixels
For a digital China passport or visa photo, the size is 390 × 567 px at 300 DPI. The pixel size comes straight from the physical dimensions — divide millimeters by 25.4 and multiply by 300 — so 33 × 48 mm becomes 390 × 567 px. Some portals also accept 200 DPI, but 300 DPI is sharper and universally accepted.
China's passport and visa photo is 33 × 48 mm. Domestic IDs use the separate one-inch (一寸, 25 × 35 mm) and two-inch (二寸, 35 × 49 mm) sizes.
How to make a compliant China photo
You don't need a photo studio. Take a well-lit portrait against a plain white background, then crop it to the exact size:
- Open the ID photo size tool — it runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
- Enter 390 × 567 px (or pick a preset) and drag to fit your head inside the frame.
- Export a ready-to-upload file. HEIC, JPG, and PNG all work as the input.
Before you submit
Dimensions are only part of the requirement. Always confirm the current rules — background color, head height, expression and glasses, and the maximum file size — on the official application before you submit. The size above gets the crop right; the rest is up to your document's guidelines.
