Before you take it
- Stand a step in front of a plain white wall, with nothing behind you.
- Face a window or soft light: even light on the face, no shadows on it or behind.
- Phone at eye level, about 1.5 m away: ask someone, or hold it at arm's length.
- A neutral face, eyes open, looking straight at the camera.
Check and make your photo
The first photo loads the face finder and the background outline from this site, about 15 MB, once.
We made the background plain, as the rules ask. Turn it off to see your original.
The new background follows an outline of you found in this page. Around fine or loose hair its edge can look soft: look closely, and if it does, retake against a plain wall.
The whole photo's brightness and colour, and any shadow on the wall behind you. Your face is never retouched, smoothed or reshaped.

Pay only once your photo passes: the button turns on once it passes every check. One payment, no subscription. Rejected by the authority? Email us the rejection within 30 days and we refund you in full. While you pay, your photo waits in this browser on this device for up to 24 hours: it is never uploaded.
The face finder and the background outline run in this page from files served by this site (sources and licences). They find where a face is in the photo; they never recognise who it is.

Korea's visa form and Visa Portal ask for 3.5 x 4.5 cm on white, but each embassy or consulate applies its own rules: the embassy and consulates in the US ask for 2 x 2 inches, some posts refuse photos printed at home, and Montreal wants a commercial photographer's print with a date stamp. Check the page of the mission where you apply.

Questions
- What size is the Korea visa photo?
- Printed, 35 x 45 mm (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm (US posts: 2 x 2 in)). These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026. This page makes a 413 x 531 pixel JPEG file (the printed size at 300 dpi).
- What background does the Korea visa photo need?
- White (Korea Visa Portal); the visa form and some embassies also accept off-white.
- Can I smile in my Korea visa photo?
- Neutral facial expression, both eyes open, full face directly facing the camera.
- Can I wear a head covering in my Korea visa photo?
- No hat; religious head coverings allowed if the face from bottom of chin to top of forehead is not covered.
- How recent must my Korea visa photo be?
- Taken in the last 6 months. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026.
- Can I take my Korea visa photo at home?
- The official rules, as checked on 4 November 2026, ask for no photographer or studio, so a photo taken at home can meet them if it meets every rule on this page.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The photo is read and checked in your browser, and any file is saved on your device. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.
- How is the head measured?
- The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.
- Will my photo be accepted?
- Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 4 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.
- How do I print it?
- Save the print sheet: a 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo at 300 dpi with as many copies as fit and thin lines to cut along. Have it printed at 100% (actual size) on 4 x 6 inch photo paper at a photo lab or shop, then cut out the copies you need.
- What does buying your Korea visa photo add?
- Your Korea visa photo, €6.99: the exact 413 x 531 px file, the 4 x 6 in print sheet, the acceptance report, the Detail check, unlimited retakes and the whole family's photos for this document for 30 days. Pay only once your photo passes. Refund if the authority rejects it. Paid once, with no subscription.

Without buying you can check any photo and save a small preview with a watermark.
