China Visa Photo Maker (33 × 48 mm / 354 × 472)
China visa photos use an unusual size — 33×48 mm, or exactly 354×472 pixels — that no other country shares, and the COVA online application enforces it strictly, rejecting the file if it falls outside 354×420 to 420×560 px. The photo needs a plain white or light background, and unlike many countries both ears must be visible with hair tucked back. This tool crops to the precise 354×472 pixel size on a white background and compresses to the 40–120 KB window COVA expects, entirely on your device.
