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 25 × 35 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 295 × 413 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
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 Hukou Booklet Photo with your phone
Hukou booklet photo size
The hukou booklet photo is 25×35 mm on white, the one-inch format Chinese households have used for decades. It goes into the booklet as a print; the household register office checks the size with a ruler and the background visually.
Required dimensions for the booklet
A size mismatch causes a second trip: a two-inch 35×49 mm print from another errand does not substitute for the one-inch 25×35 mm this booklet takes. Check which rectangle the form asks for before you print.
Photo setup and lighting
Plain white wall, eye-level phone, half a metre back, frontal daylight. Natural expression, no headwear; the preset crops to 25×35 mm exactly and cleans the background to white.
Output from the tool
The tool produces the 300 dpi one-inch print with the background cleaned; ratio and background are checked here before download, so the booklet office sees a compliant photo on the first visit.
Why Hukou Booklet Photo gets rejected
Wrong dimensions
Booklet photos are rejected for wrong dimensions and for grey or shadowed backgrounds. The correct dimensions are 25×35 mm; the two-inch 35×49 mm size is not accepted. The officer sees these issues first.
Heads cropped at the hairline
Heads cropped at the hairline by tight framing come back too; the small frame needs the full head with margin.
Old prints and heavy retouching
Old prints and heavy retouching fail; the photo should be current and the face unchanged.
