These are PixMiller output presets, not a guarantee of acceptance. The 2027 postgraduate exam takes registration photos in the Xuexin app; the national civil service exam requires its own photo tool. Check the linked instructions before paying. If a paid photo is rejected, redo it free once within 30 days.

Processing mode

Your free redo runs in Standard mode — AI enhancement is charged per image.

This photo type must keep your original background, so AI enhanced isn't available for it. Use Standard mode instead.

Cuts out the person, swaps the background and crops to the exact spec with the head positioned correctly — the photo itself is never altered. Everything Standard does, and AI can additionally fix expression, attire and posture — closed eyes, a turned face, or a missing collar.

Compliance check

AI enhanced is on — the detected issues will be fixed automatically.

This is taking longer than expected. Your photo is still being generated in the background. Check the result in the task center later.

How to use it

1 Upload a front-facing photo Drag, paste or choose a JPG / PNG / WebP / HEIC file up to 20 MB — front-facing and uncovered.

2 Pick a spec & background Browse by scenario or search a document name; the size and compliant background apply in one click.

3 Download electronic or print sheet Electronic photos are pixel-exact for upload systems; the print sheet tiles a full page with cut lines.

Take your passport photo at home

Many issuing authorities accept a DIY passport photo when the framing, the lighting and the background follow their published rules — a few, such as Canada, still require a photographer, so check your authority's rules first. Shoot with any phone, then let the tool handle the cutout, the compliant background colour and the pixel-exact crop.

1 Stand away from a plain wall You can take a passport photo at home with any phone: step about half a metre away from a light-coloured wall so no shadow falls behind your head.

2 Use daylight, never the flash Face a window so the light falls evenly on your face. A flash burns out highlights and adds red-eye, both of which automated document checks reject.

3 Let the tool set the standard Upload the shot and the cutout, the compliant background colour and the exact crop are applied for you — a DIY passport photo formatted to the published size and background requirements.

Every spec, one stop From China 1-inch, ID card and passport to US visa and Schengen — 40+ global specs, pixel-exact.

Compliant background colours White / blue / red / light gray / light blue — the compliant colour is recommended per document (UK passports reject pure white).

Print layout, auto-calculated Pick 6-inch / 5-inch / A4 paper — orientation, count and cut lines are worked out for you, ready to print and trim.

Frequently asked questions

Are ID photo sizes the same in every country?

No — they differ a lot. The three big families are the US/India 2×2 inch square (600×600px), the 35×45mm portrait used across the UK, Schengen, Japan, Korea and Australia, and Canada's unique 50×70mm. China further splits into 1-inch, 2-inch, ID-card and passport sizes. A wrong size gets rejected outright, which is why this tool locks the spec by scenario.

Should the background be white, blue or red?

The document decides. Chinese passports, ID cards and visas mostly use white; résumés, diplomas and work IDs often use blue; marriage certificates use red. Abroad it gets stricter: UK and German passports require light gray — pure white gets bounced by automated checks. Once you pick a spec, the tool highlights the recommended colour and explains why.

What's the difference between electronic and print-sheet output?

An electronic photo is output at the exact pixels and file size a registration system asks for — submit it directly. A print sheet tiles the same photo onto your chosen paper (6-inch / 5-inch / A4) with cut lines; print it, trim along the lines and you have a batch of physical photos.

Can I export several specs from one photo?

Yes. After one upload you can switch to a passport, visa or any other spec and background, regenerate the free preview, and download each version — no re-upload or re-shoot needed.

How is Standard different from AI enhanced?

Standard = cutout + compliant background + exact crop: stable, lowest cost, right for most documents. AI enhanced can additionally dress you in business attire and adjust the expression to a compliant natural look — it is charged per generation. Note: biometric documents (US visa, UK/EU/CA/AU passports) usually forbid retouching; the compliance check warns you.

Can I take a passport photo at home with my phone?

In many countries, yes — a phone shot works once the size, background and framing follow the issuing authority's rules. A few countries, such as Canada, require photos taken in person by a commercial photographer, so check your authority's official guidance first. Stand in daylight in front of a plain wall, upload the photo here, and the tool crops it to the exact spec and swaps in the compliant background colour.

Is a DIY passport photo officially accepted?

In many countries a DIY passport photo is accepted when it follows the published rules: correct dimensions, head height inside the allowed range, a plain compliant background, a neutral expression, no filters and no heavy retouching. Some authorities — Canada, for example — require a commercial photographer and forbid edited photos, so always confirm with your issuing authority. The size and background are enforced for you here, and the compliance check warns you when a document forbids retouching.
