Chinese 1-inch ID photo from your phone

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

The Chinese «一寸» ID photo — 25 × 35 mm — asked for on résumés, exam registrations (gaokao, CET, civil-service), student and work-unit forms asks for a photo of 295 × 413 pixels, 25 × 35 mm at 300 DPI, under 500 KB, plain white background. Photo studios charge to hit numbers that are published for free; this page starts with those numbers already set. Take a selfie or pick a photo from your gallery, drag until your head fills the guide, and download the finished JPEG.

These are the numbers the registration system asking for it (each states its own pixel and kilobyte limits, and sometimes a background colour) commonly ask for; the exact figures could not be confirmed on an official page, so check the portal before you submit. The head should fill about 55–70% of the photo’s height, with a neutral expression, eyes open and nothing covering the face. The background cleaner turns any wall into the plain white background the rules ask for.

Everything runs inside your browser. The photo of your face never touches a server, and the page keeps working with the internet switched off.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, background cleaning and compression all run inside your browser on your own device. Your face never reaches a server, which is why the tool also works with the internet switched off.
One inch or two inches — which do I need?
«一寸» is 25 × 35 mm and is the everyday size for résumés, exam and course registrations and most forms; «二寸» is 35 × 49 mm and is used for passports, driving licences and graduation records. Each has its own page here.
My form wants a blue or red background
This page produces a white background. For blue or red, run the photo through the background remover, pick a custom colour, then crop it here — the two tools together give the «换底色» result those systems ask for.
What size does the chinese 1-inch id photo have to be?
295 × 413 pixels, 25 × 35 mm at 300 DPI, under 500 KB, plain white background. These are the numbers the registration system asking for it (each states its own pixel and kilobyte limits, and sometimes a background colour) commonly ask for; the exact figures could not be confirmed on an official page, so check the portal before you submit.
Why do photos get rejected?
Most rejections are technical, not about the face: wrong proportions — the print must be 25 × 35 mm; background not plain (many systems want white; some want blue or red); head too small or too large for the frame. This page fixes the technical ones automatically.
Can I use a photo taken by a friend?
Yes. A phone photo taken from about a metre away, in daylight, against any plain wall, is the best starting point. Avoid a selfie held too close, which distorts the face.
Can I print it as well as upload it?
Yes. The JPEG carries a 300 DPI stamp so it prints at 25 × 35 mm; choose a print format in the tool to get a sheet ready for the photo shop.
What if my form asks for a different number?
Pick Custom size in the tool and type the pixels and the kilobyte limit the form shows. The same cropping guide and compressor apply.
