A Korean visa photo is required no matter which type of visa you are applying for, and we will talk about Korean visa photo regulations later.

How to Make Korean Visa Photos Online for Free

Nowadays, a smartphone or ordinary camera can take passport-quality photos. With the help of our online visa photo maker, even a beginner photographer can get a perfect Korean visa photo without stepping out of home through the following instructions.


Dress Appropriately

What you wear must contrast with the background and not have fancy patterns. Solid-colored clothes that cover your shoulders and have a medium neckline are recommended, such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses. Do not wear decorative head coverings or turtlenecks that cover the chins.


Choose a Well-Lit Area

The photo must be taken in a uniform and sufficient, so a place with enough daylight is favorable. Make sure it brings out the natural skin tone and evenly shines on the subject to avoid shadows. The background does not matter as our free visa photo editor will help you replace unsuitable ones.


Capture Several Photos

It is suggested to take multiple photos from different distances and angles, so you have more options to choose the best shot. Turn on the continuous shooting mode if it is available in your camera.
