China APEC Business Travel Card photo requirements

A China APEC Business Travel Card photo is 300 × 400 px on a white or off-white background. The head must measure 300 px (75% of the height) from chin to crown, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.

How to make one

  1. Choose a well-lit, front-facing photo of yourself — a phone photo is fine.
  2. The head is measured and framed to the China APEC Business Travel Card rule automatically.
  3. The background is replaced with white or off-white by a matting model.
  4. Download a JPEG at exactly 300 × 400 px, ready to upload.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. There is no server to upload it to — the cropping, face detection and background removal all run inside this browser tab, and nothing is stored. Turn off your Wi-Fi once the page has loaded and it still works.
