The Australian Passport Office is strict about photos, and most applications still need printed ones. The accepted size runs from 35 by 45 up to 40 by 50 millimetres; this page produces the 35 by 45 format. The face must be between 32 and 36 millimetres from chin to crown, centred, with a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open, and a plain light background with no shadows. Since July 2018 glasses are not allowed at all, and the photo must be less than six months old.

Set to the Australian preset, this page replaces the background of a photo taken at home with white, using an AI model that runs on your own device, and crops it to the Australian measurements at a resolution suited to printing. It gives you a digital copy and a print sheet with several photos on it, which a chemist or supermarket kiosk prints for the cost of one 6 by 4. First-time and child applications need two identical prints, one of them endorsed on the back by your guarantor, so print on proper photo paper.

The tool handles size and background, nothing more. Lighting, head position, expression and hair across the face are yours to get right, and the Passport Office rejects photos for those reasons too. Confirm the current rules on the official site before you lodge.

Frequently asked questions

Can I lodge a home-made photo with Australia Post?
Yes, if it meets the size and background rules. This tool produces the correct 35×45mm size with a plain background.
What expression is required?
Neutral, mouth closed, eyes open, looking straight at the camera. The tool handles size and background; you handle the pose.
Can I wear glasses in an Australian passport photo?
No. Since 1 July 2018 the Australian Passport Office does not accept photos with glasses, except with medical evidence. Take them off for the picture; the tool cannot remove them afterwards.
Does my guarantor need to sign one of the photos?
For first-time adult and child applications, yes: the guarantor writes an endorsement on the back of one print, so print the sheet on photo paper that can take a pen. Renewals usually do not need it.
