Australia Passport Photo

About Australia Passport Photo

An Australian passport photo is 35×45 mm - 413×531 pixels at print resolution - with the face 32 to 36 mm from chin to crown on a plain white or light grey background, a neutral expression and no glasses. This tool crops and sizes your photo to exactly that in your browser, with a head-position oval to frame the face. The Australian Passport Office is strict on head size and on glasses, so getting the framing right before you submit saves a rejection. Australia notably does not allow glasses in passport photos, even without glare, and wants a plain, evenly lit background. This tool handles the exact size and framing; you supply the background and remove glasses when you take the shot. Australia's stand-out rule is glasses: they are not permitted at all, even clear ones with no glare, so take them off before you shoot. The Australian Passport Office also wants the shoulders square to the camera, a genuinely neutral expression, and lighting even enough that there is no shadow on the face or the plain background. Getting the head size into the 32–36 mm band while keeping the shoulders in frame is the balance the oval guide helps you strike. Everything runs in this tab - your photo is cropped, sized and handed back without being uploaded, which for a document photo is exactly right. Important: this tool sizes and frames the photo to the exact 35×45 mm dimensions and shows a head-position guide, but it cannot certify that your photo meets every official rule. Always check the result against the official guidance before you submit it.
