"I need to get a photo ID taken, but I don't have time... and what if it turns out awkward again?"
Have you ever had these concerns?
I've been running a photo studio for over 10 years, and
honestly, these are the two things customers struggle with the most: time and awkward expressions.
Today, I'm going to introduce a service that solves those problems in one go.
I tried Monkos.ai, which creates photo IDs from a single smartphone selfie.

📌 How do I use it?


#### The usage is really simple.
  1. Take a selfie with your smartphone.
  2. Upload it to Monkos.ai.
  3. Select a style (background color, outfit).
  4. Download the completed photo ID.
That's it.
No need to book a photo studio or feel nervous under the lights.
The selfie you take in your most natural moment becomes your photo ID.

#### 📌 Does it look natural even though it's a selfie?
##### This is probably what you're most curious about. I also wondered, "Won't it be obvious that the photo was created by AI?" at first.
To conclude, it's much more natural than I thought.
It doesn't artificially change your face shape or apply excessive edits.
Instead, it maintains the natural expression of your selfie while only changing the background and outfit. That's
why it feels like "me, but still me."

📌 Can I change my outfit too?


##### Yes, this is the real key.
You don't necessarily have to wear a suit when taking a selfie.
Even if you take it in casual clothes, Monkos.ai naturally transforms it into a business suit for job applications or an outfit suitable for a photo ID.
Korean style (navy jacket or casual) is available,
and Japanese style (black suit + white shirt, neat expression) is also possible. Being able to compare the two at once is also a great advantage.

📌 How much does it cost?

##### It's currently on sale for 990 yen. Considering that taking a photo ID at a regular photo studio
costs at least 3,000 to 5,000 yen, it's quite reasonable.
Payment can be easily made with LemonSqueezy,
and you can easily use it by simply logging in with Google or LINE without separate registration.

### 📌 What's more important than regulations is 'an expression that looks like you'
##### Finally, just one more thing.
The most important thing in a photo ID isn't the regulations.
It's "a natural expression that gives a sense of trust in the first impression."
A selfie taken when you are most natural may be a better photo ID than a photo taken nervously under the lights in a studio.
Monkos.ai makes that possible.
