One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 22 × 32 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 260 × 378 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Head height — your head, crown to chin, should span 19-22mm. Too small reads distant; too large and the crop will not fit.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.

How to take a Chinese Driver License Photo with your phone
Chinese driver licence photo size
The Chinese driver licence photo is 22×32 mm on white, the slimmest portrait format here. The head band is 19-22 mm from chin to crown. At this size a few millimetres decide the framing, so shoot with deliberate headroom rather than filling the frame.
Photo matching at the counter
The licence office compares the photo against you at the counter, so retouching that changes the face fails the check. Keep the light even, the expression natural, and the ears visible if your hairstyle allows.
Digital file specifications
The digital version runs at 260×378 px at 300 dpi, exported alongside the print from the same shot.
Setup and lighting
Half a metre from a plain white wall, phone at eye level. Frontal light keeps both sides even; the preset crops to the exact 22×32 mm rectangle and cleans the background to white.
Why Chinese Driver License Photo gets rejected
Recurring faults
Heads outside the 19-22 mm band, off-white or shadowed backgrounds, and photos retouched until the face no longer matches the person at the counter.
Background and blur
Shadows, gradients and hand-shake blur. Brace the phone or use the timer; every file passes a head-band and background check before download.
Tilt and distance
A tilted horizon or a camera held too close bends the proportions at this size. Step back and use the crop.
