This page makes the Chinese visa photo. Passport photos for Chinese citizens are normally taken by the passport office or through the official consular app.

How to make your photo

  1. Stand in front of a plain wall of the right colour, in even light with no shadows, and ask someone to take the photo from about 1.5 m away at eye level.
  2. Add the photo above. Drag and zoom it until the top of the head touches the top line and the chin sits in the green band.
  3. Download a single photo, or a sheet of photos to print on 4 × 6, A4 or Letter paper. Print at 100% size, without “fit to page”.

Questions

Will my photo be accepted?

The tool gets the size and head position right, but the officer also checks lighting, expression, background and sharpness. Follow the rules above and the official page; only the issuing office can accept a photo.

Can I change the background with an app?

Most passport offices refuse edited photos, including replaced backgrounds. Take the photo against a real plain wall of the right colour instead.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.
