South Korea Visa Photo Size

Most South Korea visa applications ask for the same photo specification as the South Korea passport: exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white, under 500KB, saved as JPEG. This tool fits and checks your photo against that shared specification — always confirm the exact requirement on your specific visa form, since some visa categories occasionally differ from the passport standard.

Reference data, not legal advice. Commonly cited 35×45 mm ICAO-style size, pure white background — confirm against Korean Immigration Service / MOFA guidance. Online applications typically require a separate 413×531px digital file (300 DPI, 100–500KB) not captured by this single-size model. Glasses and photo editing/filters are explicitly disallowed. Head size, background color, lighting, and expression aren't checked automatically; that needs face-detection features this build doesn't include yet.

Real ML-based subject segmentation — not the color heuristic below. The model (~2.7MB) downloads once from this site and runs fully in this browser tab; your photo is never uploaded anywhere. Works against busy or textured backgrounds, then replaces the background with white.

Only helps if your background is already one plain color (e.g. a wall) — this is color-distance math, not real subject cutout, so it won't do anything useful against busy or textured backgrounds.

How to make a South Korea visa photo

  1. South Korea is already selected above — check the requirements table matches what you need.
  2. Tap the upload box and choose a photo. You'll crop it to the exact 35×45 mm ratio next.
  3. Adjust the crop, then review the automated checks — aspect ratio, resolution, format, and file size.
  4. Download the fitted photo, or scroll down to generate a printable sheet (4R, A4, Letter) if you need physical prints.

Frequently asked questions

What size does a South Korea visa photo need to be?

exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white, under 500KB, saved as JPEG. See the requirements table above for the full breakdown.

What background does South Korea require?

Plain white. Photograph against a plain wall or sheet in that color for the best result — the "flatten background to white" option in the tool can help clean up a close-but-not-perfect background too.

Can I use a phone photo for my South Korea visa application?

Yes, as long as it's well-lit, in focus, and shot against a plain background you can crop tightly around.

Is there a file size limit for a South Korea visa photo?

Yes — 500KB maximum for the digital file, per the reference data above.

How confident are you in this data?

Marked "commonly cited — verify" rather than "widely documented" in the requirements table above. Commonly cited 35×45 mm ICAO-style size, pure white background — confirm against Korean Immigration Service / MOFA guidance. Online applications typically require a separate 413×531px digital file (300 DPI, 100–500KB) not captured by this single-size model. Glasses and photo editing/filters are explicitly disallowed.
