One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 35 × 45 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 413 × 531 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.
Digital format — some portals accept a single file type and quietly refuse everything else. Check what you are handing over before you upload.

How to take a Korea e-Visa Photo with your phone
Korea online visa photo size
The Korea online visa photo is stated in millimetres, not pixels: 3.5cm × 4.5cm, the 35×45 mm rectangle, as a full-colour photo file. The Korean form uses the print dimensions and expects the uploaded file to match them.
Full colour requirement
The file must be full-colour. A black-and-white scan of a printed photo is not acceptable. The face must be frontal, the background white, and the tone natural. The form treats the file as the photo itself rather than as a picture of a photo.
Setup and lighting
White wall, frontal light, camera at eye level. Shoot directly as a portrait. Aim for the 35×45 proportion; the 413×531 px export carries it without stretching.
Preset output
The preset exports a full-colour 35×45 file at 413×531 px on white. Head position, background and ratio are checked before export.
Why Korea e-Visa Photo gets rejected
Photographs of printed photos
Photographing a printed photo fails as a copy. Paper texture, curved edges, and a visible studio backdrop are defects. The form requires a digital original with the print's dimensions rather than a print of the print.
Faded or filtered colour
Filters that warm the skin, desaturate the background, or vignette the corners read as altered colour. Full-colour means the camera's own rendering, with nothing layered on top.
Common faults
Tilted shoulders, hair over an ear, and glare from a window beside you are common reasons for rejection. The file is judged at exactly the size submitted.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Korea e-Visa Photo?
The standard size is 35 × 45 mm (413 × 531 px at 300 DPI). The tool crops and scales your photo to exact requirements automatically.
Can I smile in the photo?
Requirements call for: a natural expression. When in doubt, keep a neutral face with both eyes open.
How recent must the photo be?
Old photos are a common rejection reason.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploaded photos are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never share or resell uploads.
Does the photo need to be in colour?
Yes — the e-Visa requirement specifies a full-colour file; the preset exports in full colour.
Is this the same as the paper visa photo?
Both use the 35×45 mm format; this preset targets the online channel's digital file.
