Free Australia Visa Photo Online — Make a 35×45 mm Photo

Applying for an Australia visa? Upload a recent photo and IDPhotoBy sizes and crops it to the Department of Home Affairs standard — a 45×35 mm photo of your head and shoulders on a plain, light-coloured background — with the Australia Visa document already selected. The same photo works as a printed copy and as the digital photo you upload to ImmiAccount. It is free — no payment required.

The Department of Home Affairs (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au) sets the rules for an Australia visa photo through the ImmiAccount evidence requirements, and IDPhotoBy prepares your photo to match them. According to the published requirements:

• Size 45 mm high × 35 mm wide (35×45 mm) for the printed copy — a recent colour photo.
• Head and shoulders only — facing the camera, against a plain background.
• Plain, light-coloured background — of good quality, in colour.
• Untinted prescription glasses are allowed. A head covering worn for religious reasons is also fine, as long as your facial features are fully visible.
• Less than six months old — the photo must still look like you.
• Required for every applicant, including children.
• Digital copy no more than 500 KB for the ImmiAccount online upload (see below).

The Australia visa photo size is 45 mm high × 35 mm wide (35×45 mm) for the printed copy. This is the standard Home Affairs asks for on the ImmiAccount 'Photograph' evidence item. If you are lodging a paper application, write your name on the back of the photo.

IDPhotoBy outputs a print-resolution 35×45 mm file, so the same photo you download here prints correctly at the required size.

For an online (ImmiAccount) visa application, you upload a digital copy of your photo instead of posting a print. Home Affairs states the digital file must be no more than 500 KB, and that a scan of a printed photo, or a photo of a photo, is not acceptable — only an original digital photo file can be uploaded.

IDPhotoBy prepares your photo at print resolution for the 45×35 mm size, so it looks sharp both printed and on screen. Home Affairs states the digital file must be no more than 500 KB. If your downloaded file is larger than that, check the file size before you upload it to ImmiAccount and re-save it at a smaller size if needed.

• Upload a recent, well-lit photo with the tool on this page — the Australia Visa document is already selected.
• IDPhotoBy resizes and crops your photo to 35×45 mm and places it on a plain, light-coloured background.
• Preview the result — check the framing and the plain background.
• Download the finished photo free, then print it at 35×45 mm or upload the digital file to ImmiAccount.

This free Australia visa photo maker doubles as a size checker and resizer for a photo you already have — there is no app to download, it runs online in your browser.

IDPhotoBy sizes and crops the photo you upload to the 45×35 mm Australia visa standard and places it on a plain, light-coloured background. It does not retouch, beautify or otherwise edit your face — your face is left exactly as it is, only the framing, size and background placement are prepared.

What we do not do is promise acceptance — no online tool can. Your file is prepared to the published Home Affairs requirements, and the department makes the final decision. And it stays free: no paid plan, no per-photo charge and no skip-the-line fee.

A photo is required for every applicant, including children. For a baby or infant, lay them on a plain, light-coloured sheet and photograph from directly above so their head and shoulders fill the frame, then upload it here and let IDPhotoBy crop it to the exact 35×45 mm size. Take the photo within the last six months so it still looks like the applicant.

• A busy or dark background. It must be plain and light-coloured.
• A photo more than six months old. Take a new one if it no longer looks like you.
• Uploading a scan or a photo of a printed photo. Home Affairs only accepts an original digital photo file for the ImmiAccount upload.
• A digital file over 500 KB. Check the file size before you upload it to ImmiAccount.
• Tinted glasses. Untinted prescription glasses are fine; tinted or sunglasses are not.

Requirements can change — check the official ImmiAccount application portal (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au) before you submit; Home Affairs is the final authority on whether a photo is accepted.
