Upload a recent photo, prepare the 30 × 40 mm JLPT photo format, and start from a page already set to Japan and the correct document type.
Need a Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) photo? Upload a recent portrait and IDPhotoBy will crop it to 30 × 40 mm, adjust the white background, and prepare a downloadable file for a Japanese Language Proficiency Test profile or application photo.
This page is already set to Japan and the JLPT photo document type, so you can start from the upload flow instead of searching the full catalogue. Review the size, background, crop, and face-position checks before downloading.
Use this checklist when your application, registration, or form asks for the JLPT photo format.
IDPhotoBy uses the product requirement values below to place the face inside the 30 × 40 mm frame.
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Head (chin to crown) | 28–32 mm, about 70–80% of the frame, main part of the photo |
| Neck and shoulders | 6–8 mm, about 15–20% of the frame, visible at the bottom of the photo |
| Free space above the head | 2–5 mm, about 5–10% of the frame, free space above the head |
| Bottom edge of photo | 0 mm |
| Chin line | 5–8 mm above the bottom edge |
| Eye position | 24–28 mm above the bottom edge |
| Top of head | 38 mm above the bottom edge |
| Top edge | 40 mm above the bottom edge |
JLPT photo uploads often fail for simple crop, background, or file-preparation issues. Use the 3x4 cm / 480x640 px preset here, then compare the final file with the latest instructions in your test registration flow.
