ID Photo Maker

ID photo maker that never uploads your face

Crop a photo you already have to a passport, visa, resume or licence specification, then tile it onto photo paper for printing. A face photo is the most sensitive personal data there is, so this site never sends your image to a server — every step runs in your browser.

Printing & submission

Sheet layout (L, 2L, A4) Resize for online upload Change background colour

1. Pick the size

Open the page for your document — passport, visa, Japanese resume, licence. Anything not listed can be typed in millimetres on the custom-size page.

2. Load a photo and line it up

iPhone HEIC files are read directly. Drag and zoom until your head sits between the crown and chin guides drawn from the official specification. Nothing is uploaded.

3. Print it, or submit it online

Tile it onto L-size or A4 paper and export a 300 dpi JPEG or PDF for a convenience-store print, or resize it to an exact pixel and kilobyte target for an online form.

Why nothing is uploaded

A face photo is biometric data — easier to match and reuse than a name or an address. Most free ID-photo sites send the image to a server and leave retention up to their terms of service. This site does all its work in JavaScript and a canvas, so the image never leaves your browser's memory and disappears when you close the tab.

What it costs

A Japanese photo booth charges 700-900 yen for six or eight prints, and a photo studio around 1,500 yen. Tiling here and printing L-size at a convenience store costs 30-40 yen for eight 3 x 4 cm photos — under 5 yen each — and re-shooting costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Is a phone photo good enough for an official ID photo?

Yes. Shoot in good light against a plain wall with the camera at eye level and the result is practically indistinguishable from a booth. Avoid arm's-length selfies, which distort the face — use a timer or ask someone. Then crop to spec here and print on photo paper.

Where should I print it?

In Japan, the multi-copy machines at 7-Eleven, Lawson and FamilyMart print L-size (89 x 127 mm) photos for 30-40 yen. At home, an inkjet with glossy photo paper and an A4 layout works too. Plain paper is not acceptable for applications.

The printed photo came out the wrong size

That is the printer scaling to fit the page. Set scaling to none or 100%. The exported JPEG carries a genuine 300 dpi tag, so at 100% it prints at exactly the size you chose.

Which image formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG and WebP, plus iPhone HEIC/HEIF which is decoded in the browser. EXIF orientation is applied automatically, so portrait photos do not come out sideways.
