Australia Passport Photo Maker
An Australian passport photo is 35×45mm on a plain white or light grey background, following the Australian Passport Office. There's one extra step: your guarantor signs the back of the printed photo — this maker creates the compliant image; the endorsement is added after printing.

Good to know
Australian passport photos are 35-40mm wide x 45-50mm high (we use 35x45mm) with the head 32-36mm chin-to-crown on a plain white or light grey background. The PRINTED passport photo must be endorsed (signed) on the back by your guarantor — this tool makes the compliant photo; you still need the guarantor's signature. Verify current specs at passports.gov.au before submitting.

Australia passport photo specification
The Australian Passport Office requires a 35×45mm photo with the head (chin to crown) 32–36mm, on a plain white or light grey background with even lighting. A neutral expression with mouth closed and both eyes open is required, and glasses should be removed unless medically necessary.
The guarantor declaration
For a new Australian passport, one of your two printed photos must be endorsed on the back by your guarantor confirming it's a true likeness, signed and dated. This maker produces the correctly sized photo to print; the endorsement is written by hand after you print it.
Printing your Australian photo
Download the 35×45mm photo and the 6×4 print sheet, and print on photo paper at a pharmacy or photo lab. Make sure the printed size is exact, since the passport office measures the head height against the 32–36mm band.
Meeting the Australia upload file-size limit
If your portal or form needs a smaller file, compress your finished photo to an exact size — your image stays in your browser.
