When you need this photo

New-graduate job hunting, mid-career applications, part-time and arubaito interviews — almost every Japanese résumé (履歴書) you submit asks for an ID photo. In document screening, a recruiter often looks at your face before reading a single word.

Where applications go wrong

Three things trip up most applicants on résumé photos.

How to create it for ¥200

From shooting to printing, three steps on your phone alone.

  1. 1

    Take the photo

    Shoot from the front in a bright spot against a plain wall. Wear business attire and frame down to your shoulders.
  2. 2

    AI finishes it

    Once you upload, AI removes the background and adjusts your head position to within 0.1mm, fitting it neatly into the 40×30mm résumé size.
  3. 3

    Print at a convenience store

    The finished file arrives by email with a QR code. One tap at Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop, or Poplar; for 7-Eleven, use a netprint number. At about ¥30 a sheet, you can cheaply print as many copies as you have applications.

Frequently asked questions

How recent does the résumé photo have to be?
Within about three months of when it was taken. Older than that and it tends to diverge from your current look, which also works against you during identity confirmation at the interview. Retaking it once your application season starts is the safe choice.
How formal does my clothing need to be?
We recommend business-appropriate attire such as a collared shirt or jacket. A suit is standard; for a part-time application, a clean collared top is fine. Use a plain background and face the camera straight on.
Can I use the same photo for my My Number card?
No. A résumé photo is 40×30mm, while a My Number card photo is 45×35mm — different in both size and aspect ratio. A single crop cannot satisfy both, so create each one at the size its purpose requires.
I am applying to many companies — can I print a lot of copies?
Yes. Once your file is made, you can reprint it at a convenience store for about ¥30 a sheet, as many times as you like. Print only as many as you have applications and keep retake costs down.
