Nothing is uploaded because nothing needs to be. Cropping happens on a canvas in your browser, and the background is removed by a neural network that downloads to your device and runs there. The only thing that travels is the model coming down — your photo never leaves the tab, and the source code is public so this can be checked rather than believed.

How to shoot it at home
Stand facing a window so the light falls evenly on your face, about two metres from a plain wall. Have someone hold the camera at eye level rather than shooting from below. Neutral expression, mouth closed, both ears and the jawline visible, no shadow behind your head.
Printing: photos per sheet
4 photos of 33 × 48 mm fit on one A4 sheet at 300 dpi. Print at 100 % scale. “Fit to page” quietly resizes everything, and the photo stops matching the spec.

Frequently asked
Do I need to bring a photo for a Chinese passport?
Not necessarily. The exit-entry administration hall photographs applicants during the visit, free of charge. A photo of your own is also accepted, but only with a 照片回执 — a receipt code issued by an approved studio — which no file made here can carry. The size on this page is right for that studio photo and for applications at a Chinese mission abroad, and the checker works on any file you already have.
What size is a Chinese passport photo, in cm and inches?
33 × 48 mm, which is 3.3 × 4.8 cm or 1.3 × 1.89 inches. Those are the same photo stated three ways; use whichever unit the form in front of you asks for.
What size is a Chinese passport photo in pixels?
390 × 567 pixels, which is 300 dpi at the print size. Anything smaller will look soft when printed.
What background colour does a Chinese passport photo need?
White, plain and evenly lit, with no shadow behind the head. The tool can replace the background for you if the wall behind you is not right.
What file format and size does a Chinese passport photo need?
JPEG, no larger than 500 KB. The export here compresses to stay under that limit without dropping below the required resolution.
How many copies of a Chinese passport photo fit on one sheet?
4 photos of 33 × 48 mm on an A4 sheet. Print at 100 % scale, never "fit to page".
Chinese passport photo: uploaded, or handed over printed?
Taken for you at the appointment.
Can a Chinese passport photo be taken in a hijab, turban or other head covering?
Yes. A covering worn every day for religious reasons is accepted; an ordinary hat is not. The face has to be visible from the bottom of the chin to the forehead, both edges of the face have to show, and nothing may cast a shadow across it. Keep the fabric plain and unpatterned, and pick a colour that stands apart from the background — a white covering on a white background merges into it, which is the rejection Canada and Türkiye both warn about by name. The palette here can set a background that contrasts.
