Typical Specs by Province

Each province's personnel-exam portal sets its own rules — differences are significant:

  • Beijing: 400×600px, white background, 35–100KB
  • Shanghai: 126×168px, white background, ≤50KB
  • Liaoning: 413×531px (2-inch), white background, 10–30KB (strictest)
  • Jilin / Heilongjiang: 413×531px, white background, 5–50KB
  • Inner Mongolia: 413×531px (small 2-inch), white background, ≤20KB
  • Guangdong: 413×531px (2-inch), ≤30KB; Sichuan: 10–20KB; Anhui (1-inch tier): 20–100KB

Provincial Exams vs the National Exam

The national civil service exam (guokao) mainly uses a blue 413×531px (35×45mm) photo — see the guokao page. Provincial exams mostly require white, with pixel and KB windows set per province. Verify your provincial personnel-exam portal's notice before registering.

⚠️ Common Rejection Reasons

  • File size out of range: Liaoning's 10–30KB window is the narrowest — manual compression often fails (our tool compresses precisely)
  • Wrong background: reusing a blue guokao photo in a white-background provincial system
  • Photo older than 6 months or no longer matching your appearance

FAQ

What background color do provincial exam photos need?
Most provinces require white; a few keep the guokao blue. Inner Mongolia has historically allowed multiple colors — follow your provincial notice.
Why does my civil service exam photo keep failing to upload?
Nine times out of ten it is the file size: provincial systems strictly validate the KB window (e.g. Liaoning 10–30KB). Ordinary editors can rarely hit it — use a tool with precise KB output.
