What this spec actually requires
Chinese visa applications use 33×48 mm with a plain white background, full face, no hat, and ears visible. The digital upload for the COVA form caps at 40 KB to 120 KB per file.
How the crop is guided — and what is not automated
The frame is locked to the 33:48 ratio and two horizontal guides mark the 60%–72% head band. You position the face; the tool does not guess where it is. That is deliberate: automatic face detection fails on babies, head coverings, glasses and profile photos, and a wrong auto-crop is worse than a manual one because you cannot see the mistake until the photo is rejected.
Backgrounds: solid, not magic
A new background colour is applied by compositing, not by hair-level matting. That works when the source is a transparent PNG (a cut-out) or when the new colour is close to the old one. It will not turn a busy café wall into clean white — for that, photograph against a plain wall in the first place, which is also what the acceptance rules assume.
Printing: 4×6 with no scaling
The print sheet is 1800×1200 px at 300 dpi — a 4×6 inch page with 6 copies and thin cut lines. In the print dialog choose 4×6 paper, 300 dpi, and turn OFF “fit to page”: scaling is the single most common reason a correctly sized photo prints at the wrong size.
Common reasons this photo gets rejected
- Ears covered by hair
- Upload outside 40–120 KB
- Head tilted or a three-quarter view
Compliance wording
This tool produces a file that matches the published technical specification (dimensions, head ratio, resolution, background). It cannot promise that a specific officer accepts a specific photo, and neither can any tool — so we do not say “guaranteed to pass”.
