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 Teacher Certification Photo with your phone

Teacher certification photo size

The teacher certification photo is 25×35 mm on a white background, the one-inch Chinese format. The certificate application runs through the education examination authority, and the photo is submitted as a print. Shoot it like any one-inch document photo: plain wall, eye-level phone, half a metre back, margin above the hair.

Framing at 25×35 mm

At 25×35 mm the frame is small, and tight cropping is harder: the head fills proportionally more of the photo, so a few millimetres of drift move the framing more than they would on a two-inch print. Leave visible headroom; the crop places the bands.

Light and appearance

Use even frontal light, a natural expression, and no headwear. Light retouching is tolerated with a warning, but skin-altering edits still fail the likeness check; the certificate is compared against you.

Preset output

The preset crops to the exact 25×35 mm rectangle at 300 dpi and cleans the background to pure white. Ratio and background are checked before download.

Why Teacher Certification Photo gets rejected

Incorrect rectangle

Submissions fail most often on the rectangle. The required size is 25×35 mm; other paperwork asks for the two-inch 35×49 mm. A studio print cut for a different form is returned on dimensions alone.

Background and proportion

Grey or shadowed backgrounds and heads out of proportion for the small frame. Both are checked before the certificate file moves on.

Worn prints and heavy editing

Worn, creased prints and heavy retouching are also problems. The photo should be recent, and the face should still match the person.

Photo tips

Face a windowEven, front lighting removes face shadows — the #1 rejection reason.
Plain backgroundAny light plain wall works; the tool replaces it with the compliant color.
Look straightHead level, eyes into the lens, shoulders square to the camera.
Neutral faceMouth closed, both eyes open unless your document allows a smile.
Mind the glasses ruleSome documents do not allow glasses — check the requirements table.
Everyday clothesDark top over white is easiest; avoid uniforms and hats.

Is my photo private?

Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.

Can I reuse a one-inch photo from another document?
