How to Print ID Photos at a Convenience Store in Japan (2026)

Your resume is due tomorrow, but the photo booth at the station has already closed for the night. Photo booths are convenient, but they cost around ¥800 per session and rarely give you a do-over.

Here's the good news: if you have a digital ID photo file, you can print it at a convenience store multicopy machine for as little as ¥200. At a 24-hour store, you can get it even at midnight, whenever you need it. This article walks through the steps and prices at Seven-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart, based on official information.

Konbini Printing Is Far Cheaper Than a Photo Booth

Printing an ID photo at a convenience store takes two steps:

1. Turn your smartphone photo into an ID photo file (background removal, sizing, spec check)
2. Upload that file to a convenience-store multicopy machine and print it

Once you have the file, the rest is done at your nearest store. The cost is ¥200–250 per sheet — about one-quarter of the ~¥800 a photo booth charges.

ID Photo Print Prices and Sizes by Chain

All three major chains have an "ID photo print" menu on their multicopy machines. Prices and sizes are below (as of June 2026, tax included).

Seven-Eleven

Seven-Eleven prints ID photos on a single L-size sheet for ¥250. One sheet holds several copies of the size you choose.

Lawson and FamilyMart

Lawson and FamilyMart multicopy machines print ID photos on a single L-size sheet for ¥200. They also support no-glue sticker paper (¥300), which makes attaching the photo to a resume effortless.

You can register your phone photo via a dedicated app, or simply by sending it through LINE.

How to Print Your Photo File at a Konbini

Here are the steps to print the ID photo file you prepared. Make sure your file is already sized to the required spec.

At Seven-Eleven

1. Install the "netprint" app on your phone
2. Register your ID photo file and get a print reservation number
3. At the machine, choose "Print" → "netprint"
4. Enter the number, select ID photo print, and print

At Lawson and FamilyMart

1. Register your photo via the "Network Print" app or LINE
2. Receive a user number or QR code
3. At the machine, choose the print service
4. Enter the number or scan the QR code, then print the ID photo

Preparing a File That Prints Cleanly

The multicopy machine prints your registered file exactly as it is. In other words, the quality of the print depends on the quality of the source file. For a clean print, get these three things right:

• Plain background — patterns or shadows in the background look rough once printed
• Correct size — match the exact spec your submission requires
• Good brightness and focus — dark or blurry photos look worse on paper

Getting all of this right by hand after shooting takes real effort.
