The Chinese «二寸» ID photo — 35 × 49 mm — used for passports, driving licences, graduation records and most «二寸免冠照» requests asks for a photo of 413 × 579 pixels, 35 × 49 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 issuing office or system asking for it (each states its own pixel and kilobyte limits) 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.

Not for: Judging the face itself — expression, glasses and lighting rules are checked by the authority, not by software.
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.
Is this the Chinese passport photo?
The passport photo is a 33 × 48 mm variant with strict head rules, and has its own page (China visa). The «二寸» 35 × 49 mm photo is the general-purpose size for licences, records and applications.
One inch or two inches?
«一寸» (25 × 35 mm) is for résumés, exam registrations and most forms; «二寸» (35 × 49 mm) for passports, driving licences and graduation records. The one-inch photo has its own page here.
What size does the chinese 2-inch id photo have to be?
413 × 579 pixels, 35 × 49 mm at 300 DPI, under 500 KB, plain white background. These are the numbers the issuing office or system asking for it (each states its own pixel and kilobyte limits) 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 35 × 49 mm; background not plain white; 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 35 × 49 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.
