About Studioless
Studioless is a service of AboutUsAgency, Inc., a U.S. company. Your own photo, checked against your document’s rule and cropped to size. You see the result before you pay.
Your photo
We crop, level and resize your photo. We don’t retouch it, because the State Department and Korea’s foreign ministry don’t allow edited photos.
Your face, hair, clothes and the wall behind you stay as your camera saw them. If the wall or the light isn’t right, the check says so, and you take the photo again.
“Do not change your photo using computer software, phone apps or filters, or artificial intelligence.”
“사진 편집 프로그램, 사진 필터 기능 등을 사용하여 임의로 보정된 사진(AI를 활용한 편집·가공·합성·창조 제작물 포함)은 허용 불가함”Our translation: “Photos altered with photo-editing programs, photo filters and the like (including anything edited, processed, composited or created with AI) are not accepted.”
How we make money
The check is free. We charge for the files when a photo passes.
In the U.S., one document’s files cost $9.95, paid once. Nothing you upload is sold. AI headshot purchases, generation and re-rolls are paused.
The rules
We check your photo against your document’s published rule.
23 documents; 21 checked against official sources, 2 where consulates differ. Where a rule gives no number, the check uses our own setting, and the document’s page says which. Each page lists the pages its rule comes from and the date we read them; the latest check was on October 9, 2026. Only the office that issues your document decides whether it accepts a photo.
If it’s rejected
You get a full refund, or a new photo free.
Send us the rejection notice within 60 days of receiving it, and within 6 months of your order. The notice has to be about the photo.
Your photo and files
Deleted 7 days after your order.
The face check runs on your device. Order photos are uploaded when you continue to checkout. Nothing you upload is used to train AI.
