What we do: crop, straighten and resize your photo to the exact size. We never retouch your face or change the background.
How it works
Take the photo
Stand in front of a plain light wall, face the camera, keep your mouth closed. Ask someone else to take it at arm's length or more.

Pick the document and add the photo. Face landmarks and the background mask are computed in your browser.
Fix what failed
Each failed check says what to change. Retake the photo until every line passes.

Questions
What size is a China visa photo?
33 × 48 mm. The head, measured from chin to crown, must be 28–33 mm.
What background colour does a China visa photo need?
White / near-white. Plain, evenly lit, with no shadows or objects behind you.
Can I wear glasses in a China visa photo?
Allowed with clear lenses and thin frames, no glare
Can I take a China visa photo at home?
Yes, as long as it meets the rules above. Take it against a plain wall in daylight, then check it here. We crop it to the exact size without editing it.
Will you remove the background or retouch my face?
No. Most passport offices reject edited photos, so we only crop, straighten and resize.
