Australia Visa Photo Maker
Australian visa photos (visitor, student, work and partner visas) are a passport-sized 35×45mm image on a plain white or light grey background. Unlike the passport, a visa photo needs no guarantor endorsement. This maker sizes and backgrounds it, ready to upload to ImmiAccount.
Accepted for: Passport (APO), Australian visa.

Good to know
Australia accepts a plain white or light grey background. For a new passport, your guarantor signs the back of one printed photo to confirm it's a true likeness, so add that by hand after you print.

Australia visa photo specification
Use a recent colour photo, 35×45mm, with the head 32–36mm from chin to crown on a plain white or light grey background with even lighting and no shadows. You'll need a neutral expression with the mouth closed and both eyes open, and glasses should be removed unless medically necessary.
No guarantor needed for a visa photo
The back-of-photo guarantor declaration applies to the Australian passport, not to visa applications. For an online visa you simply attach a compliant digital photo in ImmiAccount, so there's nothing to sign. Just upload the file this maker produces.
Uploading to ImmiAccount
Online Australian visa applications accept a clear, recent digital photo. Make the photo here, then if the portal caps the file size, compress it with the resize-to-KB tool so it uploads without losing sharpness.
Meeting the Australia upload file-size limit
If your portal needs a smaller file, compress the finished photo to an exact size. Your image stays in your browser.
