Australia Visa Photo Size

Most Australia visa applications ask for the same photo specification as the Australia passport: exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white or light grey, contrasting with the face, saved as JPEG. This tool fits and checks your photo against that shared specification — always confirm the exact requirement on your specific visa form, since some visa categories occasionally differ from the passport standard.

Reference data, not legal advice. Head size, background color, lighting, and expression aren't checked automatically; that needs face-detection features this build doesn't include yet.

Only helps if your background is already one plain color (e.g. a wall) — this is color-distance math, not real subject cutout, so it won't do anything useful against busy or textured backgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

What size does a Australia visa photo need to be?

exactly 35×45 mm at 300 DPI, plain white or light grey, contrasting with the face, saved as JPEG. See the requirements table above for the full breakdown.

What is the Australia visa photo size in pixels?

413×531 pixels at 300 DPI (35×45 mm). The tool sets this automatically from the DPI you choose.

What background does Australia require?

Yes, as long as it's well-lit, in focus, and shot against a plain background you can crop tightly around.

Is there a file size limit for a Australia visa photo?

No published file size limit is listed for Australia in this reference set — check the destination site directly if your application enforces one.
