How PhotoOmni Works

Get your document photo in just three simple steps.

  1. Upload a photo

    Upload a clear, recent front-facing photo from an iPhone, Android phone, or camera.

  2. Resize + AI and expert review

  3. Download K-ETA JPEG

    Download the reviewed JPEG and upload it through the official K-ETA website or app.

K-ETA Photo Requirements and Online Photo Maker

Make a K-ETA photo online, understand the official upload limits, and avoid the size, compression, crop, and visibility problems that can stop a digital photo from uploading.

K-ETA photo requirements

Official Korean guidance sets a maximum of 700 pixels for both width and height and a maximum file size of 100 KB. PhotoOmni prepares a clear square JPEG at the maximum 700 × 700 dimensions and compresses it below the file-size limit.

When a K-ETA photo is used

K-ETA is an electronic travel authorisation for eligible visa-free visitors, not a visa. Always check the live eligibility and exemption notice before applying.

Official website application

Prepare the face-photo file before completing an application at k-eta.go.kr, then upload the reviewed JPEG when the form requests it.

Official mobile app application

Use a clear phone portrait in the official K-ETA app. PhotoOmni is useful when you want a pre-sized, compressed, and reviewed file before upload.

Eligibility or temporary exemption check

Some travellers are temporarily exempt through 31 December 2026, while others may still need K-ETA. Check the official site before purchasing a photo or submitting an application.

How to take a K-ETA photo with your phone

A clear, natural phone portrait is usually the best starting point for a small digital upload file.

  • Ask another person to take the photo at eye level instead of holding the phone close to your face.
  • Face the camera directly, keep your head upright, and leave space around the head for a square crop.
  • Use soft, even front lighting and avoid shadows across the face.
  • Stand before a plain, uncluttered, light background and wear contrasting clothing.
  • Keep the full face and both eyes visible; remove dark glasses and distracting accessories.
  • Turn off beauty mode, portrait blur, skin smoothing, facial reshaping, and colour filters.

Common K-ETA photo upload and rejection problems

These technical and portrait issues are worth checking before the file reaches the official application.

Accepted K-ETA photo and common upload and rejection problems
  • The file exceeds 100 KB or either dimension is greater than 700 pixels.
  • A 35 × 45 mm print was scanned and uploaded without checking the digital limits.
  • The face is too small, off-centre, turned, tilted, obscured, or cropped.
  • The image is blurry, pixelated, dark, overexposed, or heavily compressed.
  • The background is cluttered or strong shadows make the face hard to identify.
  • Beauty filters, retouching, or AI effects change the applicant's appearance.

PhotoOmni vs. other K-ETA photo options

Choose a method that handles both the strict digital limits and the visible quality of the face photo.

Official requirements

  • Use a recent, clear image that shows your current appearance and full face.
  • Face the camera directly with your head upright, centred, and unobstructed.
  • Use even lighting and a plain, uncluttered background so the face is easy to identify.
  • Do not use beauty filters, facial reshaping, heavy retouching, or effects that change your appearance.
