Editing
The agency forbids software edits and background replacement.

“Removing the background with editing software or compositing onto white is not accepted.”

  • Online renewal file: JPG, 500 KB or less, 413 x 531 px recommended (395–431 x 507–550 accepted), 300 dpi.
  • Self-taken photos are allowed only if they meet the rules.

What we do: crop, straighten and resize your photo to the exact size. We never retouch your face or change the background.

How it works

  1. Take the photo

    Stand in front of a plain light wall, face the camera, keep your mouth closed. Ask someone else to take it at arm's length or more.

  2. Check it here

    Pick the document and add the photo. Face landmarks and the background mask are computed in your browser.

  3. Fix what failed

    Each failed check says what to change. Retake the photo until every line passes.

  4. Get the file

    Order the full-resolution file and, for printed documents, a 4 × 6 in sheet to print at any photo counter.

Questions

What size is a South Korea passport photo?

35 × 45 mm. The head, measured from chin to crown, must be 32–36 mm.

White. Plain, evenly lit, with no shadows or objects behind you.

Can I take a South Korea passport photo at home?

Yes, as long as it meets the rules above. Take it against a plain wall in daylight, then check it here. We crop it to the exact size without editing it.

Will you remove the background or retouch my face?

No. Most passport offices reject edited photos, so we only crop, straighten and resize.
