Australia Passport Photo Maker

Country preset loaded automatically; verify current authority rules

Prepare a passport-photo crop for Australia using 35×45 mm and a plain white background as a starting preset. Upload a clear portrait to preview positioning and run automated checks for resolution, head room, centring, and background. These checks are guidance, not approval. Australia accepts a 35–40 mm by 45–50 mm photo range, requires professional-quality prints, and does not permit retouching. The Passport Office does not recommend online or mobile passport-photo services. Useful next step: use the framing, lighting, and background guide before visiting a recommended passport-photo provider; do not submit a retouched or home-printed Pixoate output.

  • Australia passport-photo preparation
  • Crop and background checks before an application
  • Single-photo downloads and printable copy sheets

Australian passport photos: size, face height and why a provider prints them

The Australian Passport Office asks for two good-quality photos, 35 to 40 mm wide and 45 to 50 mm high, with the face measuring 32 to 36 mm from chin to crown. Its guidelines call for photos less than six months old, printed by dye sublimation rather than an inkjet printer on heavy-weight glossy paper of at least 200 gsm, with a plain white or light gray background and no retouching such as removing moles, wrinkles or scars. Check passports.gov.au for the current guidelines before you apply.

The same page recommends a professional passport photo provider, for example a post office, photographer or pharmacy, and says it does not recommend online passport photo services or mobile apps because they may put you in danger of identity fraud. Treat this page as a place to rehearse the shot, never as the source of the photos you lodge.

Use the preview to judge pose, light and background, then measure the provider's prints with a ruler, because the Passport Office states face height in millimeters rather than as a share of the frame. Check photo guidance flags a dark or uneven wall, an off-center face or too little space around the head, all worth fixing before the appointment. Keep Replace background off for anything you plan to submit. To pick the better of two practice shots, compare them side by side with a slider, and for other passports, open the presets for other countries.

Before you visit a passport photo provider

  • Choose a provider that prints by dye sublimation on glossy paper of at least 200 gsm.
  • Leave glasses off unless you cannot remove them for medical reasons.
  • Take out wireless earbuds; hearing aids can stay in.
  • Wear a plain, unpatterned religious head covering if you usually wear one, with your whole face showing.
  • Measure the prints: chin to crown should be 32 to 36 mm.
  • Face the camera straight on with eyes open and a neutral expression.

Frequently asked questions

What size does the Australia passport-photo preset use?
This page starts with a 35×45 mm output and plain white background guidance. It is a preparation preset, not an approval result. Australia accepts a 35–40 mm by 45–50 mm photo range, requires professional-quality prints, and does not permit retouching. The Passport Office does not recommend online or mobile passport-photo services.
Is the Australia passport photo maker free?
Sizing and a 300-DPI export are available without creating an account. AI auto-crop and automated photo checks use the displayed daily allowance; eligible paid plans lift the covered cap. Photos are processed on secure servers and auto-deleted afterwards.
What does the automated Australia photo check actually verify?
The automated report flags likely resolution, framing, head-size, centring, and background issues. It provides preparation guidance, not authority approval, and cannot fully check expression, glare, eye gaze, permitted editing, printing, or the latest administrative rules.
Can I print the Australia photo at home?
Do not rely on a home-printed sheet for an Australian passport. The Passport Office requires professional dye-sublimation prints on heavy, high-quality glossy paper and does not allow retouching.
