Australia Passport Photo Size Guide & Resizer

The Australian Passport Office accepts printed passport photos within a size range: 35–40 mm wide and 45–50 mm high. This browser tool creates a 35 × 45 mm pixel-equivalent example for print planning; it does not certify a passport photo or create an ImmiAccount-ready digital upload. The Passport Office recommends a professional photo provider and does not recommend online passport-photo services or mobile apps.

This is a print-sizing helper, not an official photo service. Resizing cannot fix image quality or prove compliance. Follow the Passport Office's advice to use a professional provider.

How it works

Use a professional photo provider

The Australian Passport Office recommends an experienced provider. The provider can capture and print a photo to the required quality and size.

Use this only for print-size planning

If you use the browser helper, its 413 × 531 px output is a 35 × 45 mm pixel equivalent only when printed at the matching scale. Confirm the physical dimensions with the printer.

Follow your application route

For eligible online renewals, the Passport Office says to retrieve the digital photo with a photo code. Do not assume this print-prep file is accepted by an online portal or ImmiAccount.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an Australian passport photo?

The Australian Passport Office lists printed photos as 35–40 mm wide and 45–50 mm high. The applicant's face must measure 32–36 mm from chin to crown. The exact physical size must be confirmed on the printed photo.

Is 413 × 531 px an official Australian digital upload size?

No. It is a pixel equivalent for a 35 × 45 mm print at 300 ppi, which is one size within the accepted printed-photo range. It is not a universal digital-upload specification.

Can I use this output for Australian online passport renewal?

Do not assume so. The Australian Passport Office says eligible online renewals retrieve a digital photo using a photo code from a provider. Follow the live renewal instructions and use the provider's code.

Can resizing fix a rejected or poor-quality Australian passport photo?

No. Resizing cannot fix blur, shadows, reflections, poor lighting, incorrect expression, retouching, or face-position problems. Retake the photo or ask a professional provider to check it against the official guidelines.

Does this tool guarantee passport-photo acceptance?

No. The tool only changes image dimensions in your browser. It cannot certify the image, its physical print scale, facial framing, or acceptance by the Australian Passport Office.

Common Australian passport photo problems

Wrong printed dimensions: the official printed-photo range is 35–40 mm wide by 45–50 mm high. Ask the provider to measure the physical print; pixel dimensions alone do not prove print scale.

Face framing, blur, shadows, reflections, or retouching: these are image-capture or quality issues, not file-size issues. Resizing cannot correct them reliably; retake the photo or consult a professional provider.

Online renewal asks for a photo code: follow the official online-renewal flow and retrieve the provider's digital photo using that code. This print-prep helper does not generate a code.
