A China resident ID card photo is 26 × 32 mm (307 × 378 pixels at 300 DPI) on a white or off-white background, saved as a JPEG 20 KB – 40 KB. The head must measure 20 mm (63% 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.
