How to make your China visa photo with PassPic
- Open the photo maker and choose China visa photo.
- Upload one or two photos of yourself (HEIC, JPG or PNG). If you upload two, PassPic picks the better one.

Tips for a photo that gets accepted
- Use a plain white or very light wall and even light with no shadows behind you.
- Look straight ahead with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Keep your ears and forehead clear of hair.
- No glasses with glare, and no hats or head coverings unless worn for religious reasons.
- Show your head and shoulders with space above your head. PassPic adds the 3–5 mm margin the format needs.
- Check the result on screen: PassPic shows the measured head height, face width and margins next to the photo.

What size is a China visa photo?

Plain white. PassPic replaces whatever is behind you with white.
Can I print it at home or at a photo lab?
