A selfie is fine. The photo is taken by itself only when position, shoulders, facing, expression and light are all right; size and framing are set automatically.

Add one photo of your face looking straight at the camera (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC).

How to take a photo that passes
  • Stand about 1 m in front of a plain light wall, facing a window or soft light.
  • A selfie is fine: hold the phone at arm’s length at eye level (both hands keep the shoulders level), face and shoulders square to it. A phone right in front of the face makes the nose and forehead look bigger.
  • Look straight at the camera, mouth closed, both eyes open, hair off the eyes and ears.
  • No hat, no tinted glasses; keep your shoulders in the picture.
  • Use a photo taken in the last 6 months.

Your photo stays on this device. Only the AI model files (about 41 MB, once) are downloaded from this site.

Your photo never leaves this device. Everything runs in your browser.

How to use it

  2. For the Korean passport photo, press ‘Open the camera’ under ‘2. Add your photo’, or add a file. Sit square to the lens, shoulders level.
  3. Read the ‘Checks’. For Korean passport the head has to measure 32–36 mm, measured from the chin to the top of the head, hair not counted, on a white or off-white background. For Korean passport, anything under ‘Some things need a new photo’ comes with the reason and a retake tip.

What it does

  • The rules for Korean passport

    For Korean passport, ‘Show size and rules’ lists 35 × 45 mm, a head of 32–36 mm, a white or off-white background, and the rule on glasses: tinted glasses are not allowed and hair must not cover the eyes or the outline of the face.

  • The head measured the way this office measures it

    For the Korean passport photo the head is measured from the chin to the top of the head, hair not counted. The maker applies that measure to the Korean passport frame, so hair does not skew the face size.

    The Korean passport file follows the limits of the form: 413 × 531 px for online applications. A print sheet puts several copies on one page.

Good to know

Korean offices do not accept a photo whose background was removed or replaced, and they ask for a colour photo taken within the last six months. So the maker keeps your own wall and only evens out light; a plain pale wall in good daylight is the safest start.

The figures for Korean passport come from the maker’s rule card, checked in October 2026 against the issuing office’s published guidance, and rules change, so read the current Korean passport instructions before you submit.
