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.
Accepted for: Passport (APO), Australian visa.

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 visa photo specification
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. A neutral expression with the mouth closed and both eyes open is required, 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 you simply attach a compliant digital photo in ImmiAccount, so there's nothing to sign — just upload the file this maker produces.
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 or form needs a smaller file, compress your finished photo to an exact size — your image stays in your browser.

The size and background are the same (35×45mm, white or light grey), but the visa photo needs no guarantor endorsement and is uploaded digitally rather than printed.
