What size is a South Korean passport photo?

South Korean passport photos must be 35mm wide by 45mm tall with a plain white background, per MOFA requirements.

Can I use this for a Korean visa application?

Yes. Korean visa applications use the same 35×45mm biometric standard.

Are glasses allowed in South Korean passport photos?

No. MOFA does not accept photos with glasses.

What is the face oval guide?

The oval overlay shows the ideal face position in the frame. Zoom in or out until your face fits inside the oval — this ensures your face occupies the correct proportion of the photo.

What does Center Face do?

It automatically detects your face and centers the frame around it. Click it after uploading for the best starting position.

What does Straighten do?

It detects the angle of your eyes and rotates the image so they are perfectly level — useful for photos taken at a slight tilt.
