Check your K-ETA photo file
Check a K-ETA photo’s JPEG header and file size for free on your device. Your file stays unchanged.
한국어로 보기Choose your photo file
Your file stays on this device. Only its header and size are read; nothing is uploaded, changed or stored.
These checks cannot verify image readability, file integrity, photo requirements or K-ETA approval.
The official FAQ lists JPG files under 20MB. Files near the size boundary may need to be checked in the official application because the FAQ does not define MB in bytes.

Before you apply
Some travelers are exempt. The current notice extends the temporary exemption for previously covered countries and regions through December 31, 2026 (KST). Check your own status on the K-ETA website before applying.
That notice does not establish what you will need in 2027. This file check does not determine eligibility or submit an application.
Read the temporary-exemption noticeSubmitting your photo
On the website, follow the photo guidance shown at the Add Photo step. The published FAQ does not define MB in bytes; a file near the limit needs checking in the application.
Using the K-ETA mobile app? The FAQ says the app adjusts image size and capacity automatically. Follow the app’s photo instructions.
Review the applicant’s face, background and expression against the application’s instructions yourself. We do not change the photo, make a new file or complete the application for you.
