The head measurement matters

Australia's photo checker measures the head precisely: 32–36 mm chin-to-crown on the 35 × 45 print. Too much headroom or a tight crop is one of the top rejection reasons. Our face-first framing keeps the head inside the band; use the zoom slider for fine adjustment.

The online photo checker, unpacked

Australian passport applications are lodged online, and the upload is measured by the department's photo checker before it is accepted. The two things it flags most often are head measurement — 32–36 mm chin-to-crown on the 35 × 45 print — and background contrast against face and clothing. Our 827 × 1063 px export gives the checker a clean high-resolution file to work with.

Framing for the checker

The preset opens on the Australian 35 × 45 mm portrait crop.
Stand against a plain light-coloured wall, clearly different from your hair and clothes (the home photo guide covers the setup).
Face detection keeps the head inside the 32–36 mm band; use the zoom slider for fine adjustment, then download the file for the online application.

Cropping and export happen inside the browser tab — the photo stays on your device and is not sent to a server.
