What size is an Australian passport photo?
Australia uses the common 35 by 45 mm photo, which is 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. The same size works for New Zealand, the UK and most of the EU, so one correctly framed photo can serve several applications.
Head size and framing
The face should measure between 32 and 36 mm from the chin to the crown, centred, looking straight at the camera with both edges of the face visible. Reframe with the crop tool before setting the exact size here.
Background
The Australian Passport Office asks for a plain white or light grey background that contrasts with your face, with no pattern or texture behind you. Even lighting matters as much as the colour: no shadow on the face and none cast behind the head.
The other rules
A neutral expression with the mouth closed, eyes open and not covered by hair or glasses frames, no head covering except for religious reasons, and a photo taken within the last six months. Check the current Australian Passport Office guidance before submitting.
Other countries
The passport photo size page lists every country in one table and lets you pick any of them from a selector.
