Requirement summary

Background wording is part of this profile

The source data attaches a light grey background note to this route, so background color is part of the route definition here. For Passport light grey background in China, use the matching page, keep the crop inside the stored head-size range, and fix mismatches with crop rather than stretching. This page is a working guide, not official approval, so the latest authority wording still matters before submission.

  • Stored size: 33×48 mm
  • Head height target: about 64%
  • Top margin target: about 8%
  • Background note in source data: light grey background

Background removal

Clean the background first

Need a clean background first?

Use a separate background-removal tool first, then come back here to match the crop, size, and final export.

Background cleanup opens on a third-party site. Clean the background there first, then come back here to crop and export.

Who this format is for

Start by matching the document route, not the size alone.

Use this page when the checklist, search query, or local office wording refers to Passport light grey background or to the exact China Passport 33x48 mm light grey background phrasing.

The source row carries a light grey background note for this page, so background color affects the requirement.

This matters because several nearby pages reuse 33×48 mm. Shared size alone does not mean they match this route.

Exact size and cropping guidance

Use the measured frame below instead of approximating the crop by eye.

The stored frame for Passport light grey background on this route is 33×48 mm.

Aim for head height around 64%. The recommended band on this page is 56% to 72%. Leave about 8% above the head, with an allowed range of 4% to 14%.

No exact pixel target is stored here, so preserve the ratio and confirm any destination limits separately.

  • Physical requirement: 33×48 mm / 33×48 mm
  • Frame ratio: 33:48
  • Head-height band: 56% to 72%
  • Solve mismatch with crop and proportional scaling only.
  • Background note in source data: light grey background

Digital vs print usage

Decide early whether the endpoint is a portal, a printer, or both.

This route can support both print and digital use if the same passport crop works for both outputs.

If the application ends in a print shop, lab, or service counter, keep the final sheet aligned with this route.

  • Preferred format: JPG
  • Allowed formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
  • Submission path on this page: online and print
  • Reuse one crop for print and digital only if both endpoints still accept it.

What matters most for this specific document

The biggest rejection risk is not the same on every route.

Passport photos usually fail on basic presentation details: face position, clean background, glare, and over-editing.

No direct official source link is attached to this route, so anything beyond measurable crop and visible policy notes still needs manual confirmation.

  • 33×48 mm also appears on nearby pages, so confirm that China Passport 33x48 mm light grey background is the route you need.
  • Background rule on this route: Follow the light grey background requirement exactly and avoid automatic recoloring that shifts skin tone.
  • Double-check: whether the final route really expects a light grey background.
  • Background note in source data: light grey background
  • Headwear and edge shadows still need a human check: Keep headwear only when it is actually required and the face stays fully visible.
  • The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.

Requirement summary

Short overview of the main rules for this profile.

Background

Follow the light grey background requirement exactly and avoid automatic recoloring that shifts skin tone.

Shadows

Avoid shadows on the face, hard edge shadows, and visible objects behind the head.

Formats

Preferred: jpg
Allowed: jpg, jpeg, png

Common mistakes for this format

Most failures start before export, not after it.

On highly similar routes, the usual pattern is choosing the wrong page first and then trying to rescue the file with edits.

  • Replacing this route with another 33×48 mm page just because the paper size looks the same.
  • Forcing the portrait into 33×48 mm by stretching instead of cropping to the right ratio.
  • Stopping after the crop looks correct and forgetting the real upload constraints on the destination portal.
  • Searching for Passport light grey background but exporting from a generic preset for another document or country.

How to use this profile in the editor

Keep the page guidance and the active preset aligned all the way through export.

This page is most useful when you open the editor from here, keep the Passport light grey background route active, and finish that document route before any risky retouching.

  1. Open the editor from this page so China Passport 33x48 mm light grey background loads as the active preset instead of a nearby route.
  2. Upload a source portrait with some room around the head and shoulders so the final ratio can be solved with crop, not distortion.
  3. Adjust the crop until head height is close to 64% and the top margin is near 8%.
  4. Check the measurable rules, file settings, and destination workflow before export.
  • Preview and export should stay on the same crop geometry.
  • Solve ratio mismatches with crop and proportional scaling before export, not with distortion afterward.

When to verify against official sources

This page is a practical guide for one specific profile, not a promise of acceptance.

This profile does not currently include a direct official source link. Use the measurable rules here as a baseline and confirm the latest instructions for Passport light grey background in China before submission.

This route is marked very strict with reviewed confidence. That is useful context, but it is still not the same thing as official approval.

  • Strictness: very strict
  • Confidence: reviewed
  • Last reviewed: April 14, 2026
  • Double-check: whether the final route really expects a light grey background.
  • The crop tool keeps facial proportions intact. When the target ratio changes, adjust the crop and scale evenly instead of stretching the face.

Check the official local rules

This fallback profile is not tied to a single official source. Before you submit, check the latest rules on the relevant authority site.

FAQ

What size does this Passport light grey background photo use?

China Passport 33x48 mm light grey background uses 33×48 mm. Aim for about 64% head height and about 8% above the head. No exact pixel target is stored on the page.

Does the light grey background note change the route?

Yes, potentially. The source row attaches that background note to this route, so background color should be verified together with the crop instead of treated as a cosmetic detail.

Can one crop work for both print and digital use?

Often yes, but only if the same crop still fits both endpoints. Keep one framing, then check the digital file rules and the print layout separately.

Can I replace this with another 33×48 mm page?

Only if the route title, country, document type, and submission context also match. Shared size alone is not enough, especially for Passport routes.

Does this page guarantee acceptance on its own?

No. It is a practical guide for one specific profile, not official approval. Use it to prepare the file, then verify the latest authority instructions manually.
