Can the photo be edited?
The official page we verified does not address editing
“사진 바탕은 균일한 흰색바탕의 무배경으로서 테두리가 없어야 합니다.” / “얼굴의 길이(정수리부터 턱까지)가 3.2cm~3.5cm 이어야 합니다.”
No competitor publishes this, and it decides whether a tool like ours is usable at all for your application. The quote below is the official text.
Most common reasons for rejection
- •The face is measured crown to chin at 3.2–3.5 cm — note the upper bound is 3.5 cm, not the 3.6 cm that some guides quote.
- •The background must be uniform white with nothing behind you and no border around the photo.
- •The official pages we could reach do not state an editing rule, so we say so rather than claim one.
