LINE is a smartphone app which allows users to enjoy free calls and messages to one another, both nationally and internationally, regardless of which mobile network provider they are using. Currently, it is used by over 28 million users in 231 countries worldwide, including 11 million users in Japan as of April 9.

Following the release of the official greeting card app for LINE, "LINE Card" on March 28, NHN Japan is proud to announce the second additional service for LINE, "LINE camera". This camera app allows users to easily edit and decorate saved photos taken using smartphone cameras, and to directly send the finished photos to friends and groups connected via LINE.

In addition to LINE, users are also able to share the decorated photos using Twitter, Facebook, mixi, Weibo, Me2day, and Cyworld.
