照見 ID Photo / GUIDE
Japan resume photo
Japanese resumes commonly use a 30 × 40 mm photo box. Follow the template and any requirements from the employer or application channel.
PREPARATION REFERENCE
Specification and preparation reference
There is no single photo review standard for every Japanese employer. This size is a common reference.
- Size
- 30 × 40 mm
- Pixels
- 354 × 472 px
30 × 40 mm; 354 × 472 px is a 300 DPI reference conversion.
A clean, even light background is common, but it is not one mandatory standard for every employer.
What to prepare
- Use a clear, front-facing photo suitable for a job application.
- Prioritize the resume template and the employer’s requested dimensions.
- Confirm any instructions about name labels, capture date or printing before attaching it.
Common mistakes
- Treating a resume photo as if it had passport or residence card rules.
- Cropping by size without checking the actual resume photo box.
- Using heavy retouching, blur or a photo that looks unlike the current applicant.
