FAQ

What are the photo requirements for K-ETA?

The photo must be a square JPEG, 600×600 pixels, under 100KB, in color with a plain background, and taken within the last 6 months. Your face should be clearly visible, facing forward with a natural expression.

Can I use a selfie for my K-ETA application?

Yes, as long as the photo meets the K-ETA requirements: 600×600 pixels, under 100KB, with a plain background. The app helps you crop and resize your selfie to the correct format.

What background color is required for K-ETA?

A plain, light-colored background is required. This app provides automatic white background adjustment. Photos with patterned or dark backgrounds may be rejected.

What file format and size does K-ETA require?

K-ETA requires a JPEG file that is exactly 600×600 pixels and under 100KB in file size. This app automatically compresses your photo to meet these requirements.

What photos are commonly rejected for K-ETA?

Common rejection reasons: wrong dimensions, file too large (over 100KB), face off-center or wrong size, shadows on the face or background, blurry image, unnatural expression, tilted head, or excessive digital retouching.

Does this app guarantee my photo will be accepted?

No. This app helps you create a photo that meets published K-ETA specifications, but final acceptance is determined by the reviewing authority. Requirements may also change, so always check the latest official guidance on the K-ETA website.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All photo processing, face detection, background adjustment, and JPEG export happen entirely on your iPhone. Only App Store billing uses the network, and it never includes your photo data.

Is this app affiliated with the Korean government?

No. This app is not affiliated with the Korean government. It is a photo file creation tool that helps you prepare a photo based on the publicly available K-ETA photo requirements.
