Japan visa photo size
Japan's visa photo size depends on your embassy — all three official variants and the passport standard, one tap each, on your device.

Here's what most photo sites won't tell you: Japan has no single visa photo size. MOFA's visa pages ask for "one photograph" and defer the dimensions to each embassy or consulate, and the official specs genuinely differ — 45×45 mm square at posts like India and the Philippines, 2×2 inches at US posts, and the 35×45 mm passport size at posts like the UK and Canada. Check the website of the Japanese mission handling your application, then use its preset: all three variants render here at 600 DPI print resolution. The passport photo, by contrast, is one fixed standard: 35×45 mm, borderless, face 34 mm ±2 mm from chin to crown, no shadows, taken within the last six months.
Applying online changes the numbers again. Japan's domestic online passport renewal (through the Myna Portal app) wants a JPG of exactly 600×730 pixels under 600 KB — an aspect ratio MOFA itself warns is different from the paper photo — which is the fourth preset; overseas online applications accept 20 KB–2 MB, and the eVISA system takes photos up to 2 MB against a plain untextured background. On backgrounds: the passport rules recommend white but require only plain and shadow-free with clear contrast, while several visa missions mandate white outright — so white is the safe choice for both. And the honest part: this tool resizes exactly and does nothing else. It won't remove a shadow, fix a background, or validate the face-height rules, and it warns rather than silently stretching a portrait whose crop doesn't match. A photo never leaves your device here.

Frequently asked questions
What size photo does a Japan visa require?
It depends on where you apply — there is no single official size. Japanese missions in India and the Philippines require 45×45 mm on a white background, US consulates ask for 2×2 inches, and posts in the UK and Canada want the 35×45 mm passport size. MOFA leaves the choice to each mission, so check your embassy's own photo page, then use the matching preset.
What are the Japanese passport photo rules?
One fixed standard everywhere: 35×45 mm, borderless, with the face 34 mm ±2 mm from chin to crown and about 4 mm of space above the crown. No shadows on face or background, no retouching or filters, colour or black-and-white both accepted, taken within six months. White background is recommended but the strict requirement is plain, shadow-free, and clearly contrasting with your hair.
What are the digital rules for Japan's online passport renewal?
Domestic applications through the Myna Portal app require a JPG of exactly 600×730 pixels, 600 KB or less — MOFA explicitly warns this ratio differs from the printed 35×45 photo, so crop for it separately; that's the Myna Portal preset. Overseas online applications instead accept jpg, jpeg, bmp or png between 20 KB and 2 MB.
Does this tool check the background or shadow rules?
No — it resizes exactly and tells you so rather than pretending to validate them. Shoot against a plain background in even, front-facing light (white is the safe choice for Japan), face centred, then size it here. Nothing uploads anywhere: the resize happens entirely in your browser.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertUno runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone — there is no upload at all.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. Processing happens on your device, so serving you costs us almost nothing — no watermark, no account, no file-size limit, no daily quota.
