Civil Service Exam Photo Maker — 4.5×3.5 cm, White Background
The Civil Service Commission asks for passport-size, 4.5 cm by 3.5 cm colour pictures on a white background, printed on good photo paper, when you file for the exam at a regional office. This tool changes the background to white and crops to that proportion at 300 dpi (413 × 531 pixels) so you can print it. You write the name tag by hand afterwards.

- Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and both eyes open.
- Frame it as a close-up from the shoulders up, with the head and face filling at least 80% of the picture.
- Leave roughly 2.54 cm below the chin for the name tag, which you write by hand after printing.
- Print on good photo paper at 300 dpi at 4.5 × 3.5 cm, taken within three months of filing.
