Photo for the China visa
The Chinese visa has an unusual size: 33 × 48 mm. The digital version must be between 354 × 472 and 420 × 560 pixels and 40 to 120 KB. Here everything comes out within those limits.
Drag the photo and zoom: the top of the head goes on the upper line, the chin on the lower one and the face inside the oval.
