K-ETA Photo — Under 100KB, Max 700×700
700×700 px · ≤100KB · White
K-ETA's photo rule sounds easy until you try it: the file must stay under 100KB — one of the smallest caps of any travel portal — at up to 700×700 px on white. A phone camera produces files 20–80× that size, and the portal refuses rather than resizes.

Portal quirks
- The 100KB file cap is one of the smallest of any portal — nearly every phone photo is over it
- K-ETA publishes its limits only inside the application form; the consistently reported values are 700×700 px and ≤100KB — rendering exactly 700×700 satisfies both min and max readings
- The K-ETA app's built-in camera check is stricter than the website upload

JPEG up to 700×700 pixels with the file under 100KB, plain white background, face front and centred, no glasses or hats. The portal refuses oversized files instead of resizing them.
