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.
Prepared for the published requirements of: Passport (APO), Australian visa.

Before you upload — Australia photo preparation checklist
- A plain, evenly lit background to start (we apply the selected colour)
- Face the camera straight on, both ears roughly visible
- Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open
- A recent photo, taken within the last 6 months
- Shadows on your face or the wall behind you
- Glare or tint on glasses
- Hair across the eyes, hats or caps
- Filters, beauty smoothing, or a cropped group photo
Get the head size right
For Australia, your face should fill 70–80% of the photo — the maker does this automatically, but here's what it should look like.

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.

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, prepare the digital photo for ImmiAccount, check it against the current application instructions, and upload only after reviewing the result.
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.
