Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

What is the exact China visa photo size?

The standard is 33mm x 48mm, which this tool exports as 390x567 pixels at 300 DPI.

What does the head-size guide show?

The oval marks the target head zone and the dashed lines mark the top-of-head and chin positions, based on commonly published China visa photo guidance (head height around 28-33mm within the 48mm frame).

Does this tool check the background or lighting?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct dimensions. Take the source photo against a plain white background with even, neutral lighting before uploading, since China visa photos require a white background.

Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?

The guide helps you match the size and head-placement requirements, but final acceptance depends on background, lighting, expression, and print quality, which are your responsibility to verify with the visa application center or embassy handling your application.

Is the China visa photo size the same as the China passport photo size?

Yes. Both use the 33mm x 48mm standard, so the same crop works for either purpose.
