Verbatim official spec
The verbatim official spec from CVASC (Chinese Visa Application Service Center, the official partner of the Chinese Embassy in Japan) is shown below in the original Japanese.
- 「6ヶ月以内に撮影された正面カラー写真（白背景・帽子なし・小2寸パスポート写真（48mm×33mm））」
- 「デジタルフォーマット：JPEG、画素 354×472、40KB-120KB」
Why this spec matters
China visa photos are 33×48mm (small-2-inch, W×H), subtly different from the typical Japanese passport photo (35×45mm). A rejection at CVASC means a retake and reapplication that can cost a week or more.
How to create it for ¥200
A CVASC-spec-compliant 33×48mm China visa photo takes about two minutes with a smartphone and ¥200.
