How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Use a front-facing photo with your full face visible. Avoid photos where hair covers your face or ears.

Expect: Simple photos with plain backgrounds: 20-30 seconds. Complex backgrounds or lighting issues: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'make this a China passport photo with white background, proper 33x48mm dimensions, head height 28-33mm, neutral expression.' Be specific about requirements. No marking needed - the AI understands passport photo standards.

Tip: Mention 'ears visible' and 'no glasses' if your source photo needs those adjustments.

Generate and review

Check the result against Chinese passport requirements: white background, proper head size (28-33mm in the 48mm height), neutral expression, ears visible, no glasses. Zoom to 100% to verify background is pure white with no shadows.
Refine with markers if needed

If the background has shadows near your hair or ears aren't properly visible, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. This is optional - most photos work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement. Try without them first, add only if edges need cleanup.

If something looks off

Background has gray or blue tint instead of pure white

Why: The AI matched the original photo's lighting temperature. Chinese passports require pure white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds.

Try: make the background pure white with no color cast or shadows, completely clean and uniform

Try This →

Tip: If it persists, try 'replace background with pure white #FFFFFF studio backdrop'

Head size looks too small or too large in frame

Why: China requires head height between 28-33mm in a 48mm tall photo (roughly 58-69% of frame height).

Try: resize so my head height is between 28-33mm for China passport dimensions, face centered in frame

Try This →

Tip: The top of your head should have about 3-5mm of white space above it

Ears are partially hidden by hair

Why: Chinese passport regulations require both ears to be fully visible. Hair covering ears will cause rejection.

Try: adjust my hair so both ears are completely visible while keeping the hairstyle natural looking

Try This →

Tip: For long hair, the AI can virtually tuck it behind ears without looking unnatural

Shadows visible near hairline or under chin

Why: Passport photos require even lighting with no harsh shadows. The AI preserved shadows from the original.

Try: remove all shadows around my face, hair, and neck area, apply even soft lighting throughout

Try This →

Tip: Use a marker on the shadow area if the prompt alone doesn't catch it

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Expression looks tense or unnatural after adjustments

Why: When fixing multiple elements, the expression can become stiff. Chinese passports need neutral but natural.

Try: relax my facial expression to look natural and neutral, mouth closed, eyes looking directly at camera

Try This →

Tip: Try generating again - AI results vary slightly each time

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my face or background before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'make this a China passport photo with white background.' The AI understands these concepts. Only use markers when you need precision - like specifying exactly where a shadow needs removal, or refining edges around complex hair.

What are the exact requirements for China passport photos?

China passport photos must be 33mm x 48mm with a pure white background. Head height should be 28-33mm (measured from chin to top of head). Expression must be neutral with mouth closed. Both ears must be visible. No glasses allowed. Face should be centered and looking directly at camera.

Is there a free China passport photo tool that doesn't need an account?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no signup required. Upload your photo, describe the China passport requirements, and download the result. No watermarks on your passport photo.

Can I use a selfie for my China passport photo?

Yes, if the selfie shows your full face clearly, is reasonably high quality, and you're facing the camera directly. The AI will handle background replacement, proper sizing, and can adjust minor issues like expression or hair covering ears.

Will my photo be accepted for a China visa application?

EditThisPic follows Chinese passport photo specifications (33x48mm, white background, proper head sizing). However, final acceptance depends on the specific embassy or visa office. We recommend reviewing the result against official requirements before submitting.
