The person faces forward, background is white, and the face is clearly visible with a natural expression.
These are common reasons a photo may be rejected during a Japan visa application.
Japan visa authorities do not accept photos that have been digitally altered to change your appearance. This includes enlarging eyes, smoothing skin excessively, modifying facial features, removing moles or scars, or applying AI-generated changes. This app mainly helps with composition review, sizing, brightness adjustment, pre-save preview, and export. Avoid edits that change the appearance of the background or face, and prepare a plain background at the time of shooting.
Official guidance Japan Visa Photo Requirements
The photo should be 35×45mm for JAPAN eVISA online applications, in color, with a plain, shadow-free background. It must be taken within the last 6 months, facing forward with a neutral expression. Glasses are not recommended.
JAPAN eVISA online applications require a 35×45mm digital photo for upload. Embassy or consulate paper applications may accept a 45×45mm photo that you bring in person. Check with your specific embassy or consulate.
Glasses are generally not recommended for Japan visa photos. Please remove glasses before taking your photo. If you must wear them for medical reasons, ensure there is no glare and your eyes are clearly visible.
A plain, shadow-free background is required for Japan visa photos. We strongly recommend shooting in front of a white or light plain wall. This app does not automatically replace backgrounds; it focuses on face position, sizing, and brightness adjustments.
Common rejection reasons: wrong dimensions, face off-center or wrong size, shadows on face or background, glasses, hair covering eyes, dark background, blurry image, unnatural expression, head tilted, or excessive digital retouching.
No. This app helps you create a photo that meets published Japan visa photo specifications, but final acceptance is determined by the embassy, consulate, or JAPAN eVISA system. Requirements may also change, so always check the latest official guidance.
No. All photo import, framing, brightness adjustment, and JPEG export happen entirely on your iPhone. Only App Store billing uses the network, and it never includes your photo data.
The app generates 4×6 inch or L-size print sheets. Save to your photo library and print at a photo lab, drugstore, or home printer. Use photo paper at actual size with no scaling.
The same requirements apply to children: white background, facing forward, eyes open, no glasses. For infants, lay the child on a white sheet and photograph from above, or use a car seat with a white cloth draped over it.
No. This app is not an official app of the Government of Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), or any Japanese embassy or consulate. It only creates photo files based on publicly available photo requirements.
