How to use
1. Choose a photo
Tap “Choose files” and pick the photo you want to use. A full-screen editor opens.
Drag and drop the photo you want to use anywhere on the page, or use “Choose files”. A front-facing photo that shows you down to your shoulders works best.
2. Choose a use
In the band below the photo, tap a use such as “Résumé/CV” or “Passport”. The frame changes to that size and face guide lines appear. Scroll the band sideways to see more uses.
In the panel on the right, pick a use such as “Résumé/CV” or “Passport”. The frame changes to that size and face guide lines appear. If there's no set size, choose “Custom size” and enter the width and height in mm.
3. Line up your face with the guides
Drag the photo with your finger and resize it with the “Zoom” slider (or pinch with two fingers), so the top of your head sits in the upper orange band and your chin in the lower one. When it fits, tap “Done” at the top right.
Drag the photo to move it and use the “Zoom” slider below it to resize, so the top of your head sits in the upper orange band and your chin in the lower one. You can also zoom with the mouse wheel. If your face is tilted, straighten it with “Tilt”.
4. Download
Tap “Download photo” to save a single photo, or “Download L-size sheet” to save a print-ready image with several photos laid out on an L-size print (89 × 127 mm).
At the bottom of the right panel, “Download photo” saves a single photo and “Download L-size sheet” saves a print-ready image with several photos laid out on an L-size print (89 × 127 mm). When printing, choose L-size (3.5 × 5 in) paper, turn off any scaling, and cut along the gray lines.

Printing cheaply
Several photos fit on one L-size print, so you get many ID photos for the price of one print at a convenience store or photo kiosk.
People who'd rather not pay for a photo booth
Retake at home as often as you like
Take as many shots as you need and adjust the position again and again. No photo-booth timer to worry about.

Good to know before you start
- It doesn't remove or recolor the background. Use a photo taken in front of a plain, light-colored wall.
- Whether a photo meets the rules is ultimately up to the office you submit it to. For strict ones like passports, check their guidelines too.
- For documents with no set photo size, you can also crop to any ratio with “Crop images”.
ID photo sizes and face guides
Each type of ID photo has a set size, and some, like passports, even specify the length from the top of the head to the chin. When you pick a use, orange bands appear inside the frame to show where the top of your head and your chin should be. Just move the photo to fit the bands and the size will be close to the requirements.
The L-size print sheet fits as many photos of the chosen size as possible on L-size photo paper (89 × 127 mm). It's made at 300 dpi with margins of at least 3 mm, so no photo gets cut even if a print kiosk trims the edges a little. Hold a ruler to the 10 mm scale at the bottom to check it printed at the right size.
FAQ
Answers to common questions before you start.
Are my photos sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens inside the browser on your device, and your face photos are never uploaded to a server.
How do I print at a convenience store or photo kiosk?
Open the image saved with “Download L-size sheet” in the store's photo printing app or on the in-store machine, and print it as an L-size (89 × 127 mm) photo print. Then cut the photos apart along the gray lines with scissors or a craft knife.
My printed photos are a little off in size.
Fit-to-page scaling or borderless printing can make prints slightly larger. Check with a ruler that the scale at the bottom measures 10 mm. On a home printer, choose L-size (3.5 × 5 in) paper and no scaling (100%) to print at the exact size.
How do I get the face size right?
Line up the top of your head (including hair) with the upper orange band and the tip of your chin with the lower one. If they're inside the bands, the face size falls within the rules or guide range for that use. The dotted oval shows the rough shape of the face.
Can I make the background white or remove it?
No. Replacing the background can count as editing that passports and other documents don't allow. Use a photo taken in front of a plain, light-colored wall, with no shadows.
Can I use it for an online My Number Card application?
Yes. Choose “My Number Card (Japan)”, save the photo with “Download photo” (JPEG, at least 480 px on each side), and select it on the application page.
The size I need isn't in the list.
Choose “Custom size” and enter the width and height in mm (10–80 mm). The face guides use typical proportions based on the photo height. It also works for exam entry forms, staff ID cards and more.
My face is slightly tilted.
Use the “Tilt” slider to rotate up to 15 degrees either way and straighten it. Lining up the vertical dotted line in the middle with the bridge of your nose makes it easier.
Can I use a selfie?
Yes. But selfies are sometimes mirrored, and mirrored photos aren't accepted for passports. Also, shooting at arm's length tends to distort your face, so it's better to have someone else take the photo from a little farther away.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no ads, and no watermark.
