Three promises
An app that handles your face should promise this
No ads
Not even in the free version. Nothing interrupts you halfway through a photo.
One-time Pro
Pro is ¥1,480, paid once. It is not a subscription — nothing to pay every month or year.
How it works
Shoot, adjust, save or print.
Pick what the photo is for, and the app sets the size, the face size and the position.
Shoot
Pick the document and follow the guide. When everything lines up, it counts 3-2-1 and shoots. You can also start from a photo you already have.
Adjust
Position, size and tilt are set automatically and the background made plain. The photo check tells you how it turned out.
Save or print
Save the file at the exact size, or make an L-size sheet to print at a convenience store.
Final acceptance is decided by the receiving office. Please also check its latest requirements.
Camera guide
The checks turn green, then 3-2-1 — it shoots itself
The camera checks face position and size, facing forward, open eyes, lighting and blur as you move. When everything is right it counts down, takes the photo and shows it for you to check.
- One fix at a time"Move a little closer", "Face the camera" — the guide shows the one thing to fix right now.
- 80% is enoughNot every check has to be green: with eyes open and no one else in the frame, a score of 80% shoots. Position and size are fixed afterwards.
- Never mirroredThe front camera preview works like a mirror, but the saved photo keeps the real orientation.
Automatic alignment and photo check
The app fits your face to the standard
It finds your face and crops so the crown-to-chin length and the space above your head match the document. The tilt is corrected from your eyes, and you can fine-tune with a finger.
- Automatic alignmentZoom, up/down, left/right and rotation (±10°) can always be fine-tuned with sliders.
- An 11-point photo checkFacing forward, face size and position, open eyes, nothing covering the face, resolution, focus, lighting, shadows, background and other people — with advice on what to fix.
- No acceptance guaranteeThe check is a guide to get close to the standard. Final acceptance is up to the receiving office.
Background and correction
A white background. Natural light.
The app cuts you out and replaces the background with a plain one. Brightness, white balance and contrast are adjusted gently so your face looks natural.
- Automatic background removalPartly freeWhite is free. Light gray, blue or any color, edge control and manual brush touch-up come with Pro.
- Natural correctionExposure, color and contrast only, balanced on your face.
- No beautifyingNo skin smoothing, bigger eyes or reshaped face. An ID photo has to look like you.
Save as a file
Files for online applications, at the right size
Saves a JPEG at each document's pixel size, and can fit a file-size limit such as "under 500 KB".
- Exact pixel sizeA résumé photo (40×30 mm), for example, is 472×354 px, saved with 300 dpi.
- File-size targetProFit under 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB or any size. PNG, WebP and custom pixel sizes too.
- Location removedMetadata such as where the photo was taken (EXIF) is always stripped when saving.
Print at a convenience store
An L-size sheet, ready for the convenience store
The app lays your photos out on L-size paper (89×127 mm). Print it as a photo print on the multi-copier at 7-Eleven, Lawson or FamilyMart.
- Automatic L-size layoutUp to 6 résumé-size photos or 9 driver's-license-size photos on one sheet.
- Print at 100%, get the real sizeA 30 mm photo prints at 30 mm. A 50 mm test square lets you check first.

ID Photo JP Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It never renews or bills you again. Apple or Google handles the purchase; we never receive your payment details.
Prices are the tax-inclusive prices on the Japanese App Store and Google Play. They may differ by country or region; the purchase screen shows the actual price. There is no free trial — the free version lets you try the whole flow as it is.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it really work without the internet?
Yes. Shooting, face detection, background removal, correction, saving and print sheets all run on your device. It only goes online to buy Pro or restore a purchase.
Will the receiving office accept my photo?
We can't promise that. The app sets the size and face position to published standards and checks the photo, but final acceptance is decided by the receiving office. Please also check its latest requirements.
My convenience-store print came out too small.
Make sure "Fit to paper" or "Fit" is not selected, and print at 100%. Choose "with border", not "borderless". The app's print-size test lets you check that a 50 mm square prints at 50 mm.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase of ¥1,480. It never renews and never bills you monthly.
What can I do for free?
The camera guide and auto-capture, starting from your own photo, résumé, student ID and exam photos, automatic alignment and the photo check, a white background, natural correction, JPEG saving, the L-size print sheet, the convenience-store guide and the latest 3 items of history. There are no ads.
