Photo Guide

Photo checklist

If your photo does not meet the requirements, it may affect your application. Check these points before saving.

  • Korea visa uses 35×45mm; K-ETA uses a 600×600 px digital file (this app's output). Only the applicant should appear in the frame.
  • Korea visa photos must be taken within the last 6 months. For either purpose, face the camera directly and use a photo where your face is clearly visible.
  • Korea visa requires a plain white or off-white background. For K-ETA photos, use a background where your face is clearly visible.
  • Both eyes open and clearly visible. No hair covering the eyes.
  • Remove anything that hides your face, such as sunglasses. Masks and hats are not allowed.
  • No cosmetic effects, AI face modification, heavy retouching, or mirrored images.

FAQ

What size is a Korea visa photo?

A Korea visa photo is 35 × 45 mm and must be taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white or off-white background. This app prepares your photo to that spec.

What are the photo requirements for K-ETA?

K-ETA asks you to upload a photo during the application. This app outputs a 600×600 px square JPEG under 100KB for K-ETA upload. Your face should be clearly visible, facing forward with a natural expression.

What is the difference between a Korea visa photo and a K-ETA photo?

They are different purposes. A Korea visa needs a 35 × 45 mm photo submitted with the application form; K-ETA needs a digital photo uploaded to the application screen (this app outputs 600×600 px under 100KB). This app supports both.

What background color is required?

Korea visa requires a plain white or off-white background. For K-ETA photos, use a background where your face is clearly visible. This app provides automatic white background adjustment.

Can I print my Korea visa photo?

Yes. The app can output L-size and 4×6 print sheets with four 35 × 45 mm photos arranged on each, ready to print at a convenience store or photo printer.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All photo processing, face detection, background adjustment, and JPEG/print export happen entirely on your iPhone. Only App Store billing uses the network, and it never includes your photo data.

Does this app guarantee my photo will be accepted?

No. This app helps you create a photo that meets published Korea visa and K-ETA specifications, but does not guarantee acceptance. Final acceptance is determined by the reviewing authority. Requirements may also change, so always check the latest official guidance before submitting.

Is this app affiliated with the Korean government?

No. This app is not affiliated with the Korean government. It is a photo file creation tool that helps you prepare a photo based on the publicly available Korea visa and K-ETA photo requirements.
