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 33 × 48 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 390 × 567 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Head height — your head, crown to chin, should span 28-33mm. 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 Taiwan Travel Permit Photo with your phone
Taiwan travel permit photo size
The Taiwan travel permit photo is 33×48 mm on white, the same size as the Hong Kong/Macau permit photo, and uses the same Chinese-system photo format. Two permits use one standard: if your travels point across both straits, one compliant session covers both applications.
Documents using the same photo size
Four documents share this rectangle: the passport, both permits, and the visa photo. The match is deliberate: the Chinese document system uses one photographic standard, so the studio that shoots one can shoot all four.
Photo setup and lighting
Use a plain white wall, frontal light, and the camera at eye level. Keep the head centred, the expression neutral, and the white background flat.
Preset output
The preset cuts the rectangle to 33×48 mm on white at print resolution, checked and ready for both permit applications required by your travel plans.
Why Taiwan Travel Permit Photo gets rejected
Wrong photo size
A 35×45 print from a European or Korean application fails here, as it does for the other documents in this system.
Shadows on the white background
The background is plain white, and shadows break it. A tilted light source creates a grey gradient behind the head, which is not accepted in this photo system.
Common faults
Tilted heads, hair over an ear, and a shoulder cut by the frame are standard reasons for rejection for this photo size.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Taiwan Travel Permit Photo?
The standard size is 33 × 48 mm (390 × 567 px at 300 DPI). The tool crops and scales your photo to exact requirements automatically.
Can I smile in the photo?
Requirements call for: a natural expression. When in doubt, keep a neutral face with both eyes open.
How recent must the photo be?
Old photos are a common rejection reason.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.
Phone or studio?
A phone works: plain wall, eye-level camera, even light. The tool fixes the crop and the background colour.
Is the Taiwan permit photo the same size as the Chinese passport photo?
Yes, both are 33×48 mm on white, so one compliant session covers both crops.
