What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: white or light uniform background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Australia-specific things to know
- The background wording differs from the passport: Home Affairs asks for a neutral or light grey background that contrasts with the face, not for white.
- The upload is a file, not a print: JPEG, 70 KB–3.5 MB, preferably 1200 × 1600 px (a 3:4 portrait). A scan of a photo or a photograph of a photo is rejected.
- The photo must be unedited: Home Affairs says not to remove the background, moles, wrinkles, scars or red eyes.
- Every applicant, children included, has a Photograph section under their own name in the form; check that the file attached belongs to the person named there.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Department of Home Affairs (Australia). Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Home Affairs, digital photograph for a visa application: JPEG between 70 KB and 3.5 MB, preferred resolution 1200 × 1600 pixels; a digital photograph for each applicant, including children.
- Same page: no more than 6 months old; a full-face view of head and shoulders; good quality, in colour, against a neutral or light grey background that contrasts with the face; unedited (background, moles, wrinkles, scars or red eyes must not be removed).
- Same page: glasses should be removed unless they cannot be for medical reasons; if worn they must be untinted with frames not obscuring the eyes and no reflection from the lenses. A religious head covering is allowed if the whole face is visible and the covering is plain material without patterns.
- Home Affairs recommends a professional passport photo provider, such as an Australia Post office (or a similar one outside Australia), where a digital copy can be emailed to you. Only a digital copy may be uploaded — a scan of a photo or a photograph of a photo is not acceptable.
- Home Affairs, «Photograph - Passport» (paper evidence): a recent passport photograph of 45 mm × 35 mm, head and shoulders only, facing the camera, against a plain background, less than six months old, with the name of the person printed on the back.
