Free South Korea Visa Photo Online — Make a 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) Photo

Need a South Korea visa photo? Upload a recent photo and IDPhotoBy sizes and crops it to the Korea visa standard — a 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) photo in natural, full colour with your head centred in front-view — with the South Korea Visa document already selected. You get a colour 827×1063 px JPEG ready for the digital upload in the Korea Visa Portal e-Visa application, plus a print-ready 35×45 mm file. Making your free South Korea visa photo online here is free — no payment required.

The Republic of Korea's Ministry of Justice, through the Korea Visa Portal (visa.go.kr), states the visa photo must be a digital photograph in natural (full) colour, sized 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm (35 × 45 mm), uploaded with the online e-Visa application. Beyond size and colour, the widely used Korean photo standard IDPhotoBy prepares your photo to look like this:

• Size 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) — a colour photo taken within the last 6 months.
• Head centred, crown to chin about 32–36 mm — your whole head from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin, shown in full front-view facing the camera. IDPhotoBy positions your head in this range for you.
• Plain white background — even and clean, with no shadows, reflections, frame or objects behind you.
• Neutral expression — a natural, neutral face with your mouth closed and no smiling, looking straight into the camera with both eyes open.
• No tinted glasses — avoid sunglasses, tinted or coloured lenses and any glare on the lenses; a frame must not cover your eyes.
• Everyday clothing — do not wear white clothes that blend into the white background, and no hats or head coverings that hide the face.
• Natural full colour — the photo must be in colour, not black and white.

The South Korea visa photo size is 35×45 mm, which is 3.5×4.5 cm — the size the Korea Visa Portal states for the visa photo. For the online channel you upload a digital image, and IDPhotoBy outputs a colour 827×1063 px JPEG — 35×45 mm rendered at 600 dpi, sharp enough to upload or print (a scanned print should stay sharp at about 300 dpi). The exact pixel size and file format are how IDPhotoBy prepares the file; the Korea Visa Portal itself publishes only the 35×45 mm size and the natural-colour rule for the visa photo.

Most travellers now apply for a Korea visa online. In the Korea Visa Portal (visa.go.kr) e-Visa application, the required documents list a “Digital Photograph (in natural color, size: 3.5cm x 4.5cm)”, uploaded with the electronic form and a scan of your passport. So the file you need is a digital, full-colour 35×45 mm photo — exactly what the 827×1063 px colour JPEG from this tool is made for, and the same shot also prints as a 35×45 mm copy.

• Upload a recent, well-lit photo with the tool on this page — the South Korea Visa document is already selected.
• IDPhotoBy resizes and crops your photo to 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) / 827×1063 px with your head centred at the right size, and sets a plain white background.
• Preview the result — check your head size and position, the plain white background, and that your eyes are open and your expression is neutral.
• Download the finished photo free, then upload the colour JPEG in your Korea Visa Portal e-Visa application, or print the 35×45 mm copy.

This free South Korea visa photo maker doubles as a size checker and cropping tool for a photo you already have — no app to download, it runs online in your browser.

IDPhotoBy sizes and crops the photo you upload to the 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) / 827×1063 px South Korea visa standard and sets a plain white background behind you. It does not retouch, beautify or AI-edit your face — your features are left exactly as they are, and only the framing, size and background are prepared. Your photo also stays in natural full colour, as the Korea Visa Portal requires, never converted to black and white.

What we do not do is promise acceptance — no online tool honestly can. Your file is prepared to the published Korea Visa Portal photo rules, but the Korean immigration authority reviewing your application makes the final decision.

You do not need a studio. To take a South Korea visa photo at home with a phone: stand about 60 cm (2 feet) in front of a plain white wall in soft, even daylight so there are no shadows, face the camera straight on in full front-view with a neutral expression and both eyes open, and fill the frame with your head and the top of your shoulders. Then upload it here and IDPhotoBy crops it to the exact 35×45 mm / 827×1063 px size and sets the white background.

The same works for a baby or child's Korea visa photo — lay an infant on a plain white sheet and photograph from directly above, eyes open if you can. Take the photo within the last 6 months so it reflects your current appearance.

• A coloured or busy background. It must be plain white, with no shadows, patterns or objects behind you — IDPhotoBy sets this for you.
• Tinted glasses or glare. Avoid sunglasses, tinted or coloured lenses and reflections on the lenses; better still, take the glasses off.
• A black-and-white photo. The Korea Visa Portal requires natural full colour — do not submit a greyscale photo.
• An exaggerated smile. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open, looking at the camera.
• White clothing that blends in. Do not wear a white or very light top against the white background — pick a colour that contrasts.
• The wrong size or file. The photo must be 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm), and the online upload is a colour digital image — IDPhotoBy outputs an 827×1063 px colour JPEG so it fits.

Requirements can change — check the official Korea Visa Portal (visa.go.kr) before you apply; the Korean immigration authority makes the final decision on your photo.
