How the Hong Kong passport photo process works

An HKSAR passport photo is 40×50 mm on a plain white background, with the face measuring 32–36 mm from chin to crown and enough room left above the head. You take it to spec and submit it with your Hong Kong application to the issuing authority — either as a printed photo or, for app-based digital submission, as a JPEG of at least 1200×1600 px and 5 MB or below. The photo must show your full frontal face with no headwear and no heavy makeup. Snapfora crops and sizes the image locally to 40×50 mm and flags head height and tilt so you fix any problem before you submit, rather than after a rejection. We build to the published immd.gov.hk spec, but the issuing authority makes the final call.

Printing a Hong Kong passport photo

For a hard copy, tile the 40×50 mm image onto a 4×6 inch sheet — Snapfora lays out several per sheet with cut lines — and print at any photo kiosk or pharmacy that outputs 6×4 prints, then trim along the guides. If your Hong Kong application is digital, you don't need a print at all: just upload the JPEG, keeping it at least 1200×1600 px and 5 MB or below.

FAQ

What size is a Hong Kong HKSAR Passport photo?

Can I make it at home?

Yes. Upload a front-facing photo and the tool crops it, aligns your face, builds the final image and lays out a print sheet — all locally in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Is the photo guaranteed to be accepted?

No. Snapfora builds to published specs and gives you a self-check, but acceptance is decided by the issuing authority. Cross-check the official source before submitting.
