China Visa & Passport Photo: 33×48 mm, Made and Printed at Home
China uses its own 33 by 48 mm photo size for visas and passports, which standard 35 by 45 tools cannot produce correctly. You can make a compliant photo in about a minute with our free online tool: upload a photo, let the automatic face alignment size your head correctly, replace the background with a plain color if needed, and download a print ready sheet or a digital file for online applications. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

Requirements can change, so verify with the issuing authority before submitting. Our crop guides show the allowed head size as shaded bands, so you can see compliance at a glance.
How many photos fit on one sheet
At the 33×48 mm size, 6 photos fit on a single 4 × 6 inch (10 × 15 cm) sheet of photo paper, the standard print size at home printers, photo kiosks, and print shops worldwide. On A4 paper you can fit 32 photos. The tool tiles the sheet automatically with a small gap and dotted cutting guides between photos, and you print at 100 percent scale.
How it works
First, add a recent photo taken in even light against a plain wall; a phone photo is fine. Second, the tool finds your face and positions it inside the official head size bands, and you can fine tune by dragging and zooming. Third, download: the print sheet costs $5.99 and the single digital photo for online application portals costs $3.99, with a free watermarked preview before you pay. If the application website has pixel or file size limits, enter them and you get a correctly compressed file plus a full quality copy.
Why use this instead of a studio
A studio charges $12 to $17 for a handful of prints. Here you pay once and print as many as you need, whenever you need them, and your photo is processed entirely on your device rather than uploaded to a server.
