Frequently asked questions

›What size is a Australia Visa photo?

It is a digital photo with no set print size. There is no official head-size number; we frame the head at 64%–78% of the photo height so the head and shoulders are clearly visible. Digital file: JPEG, 70 KB – 3.5 MB. pixtidy exports 1200×1600 pixels, inside the official limits.

›What are the Australian visa photo requirements for ImmiAccount?

Home Affairs asks for a recent, unedited colour JPEG between 70 KB and 3.5 MB, ideally about 1200×1600 pixels, against a plain neutral or light grey background that contrasts with your face. Do not remove moles, wrinkles, scars or red eyes, and do not upload a scan or a photo of a photo.

›Can I wear glasses in my Australian visa photo?

Glasses should be removed unless you wear them for medical reasons; then lenses must be clear with no glare. Religious head coverings are allowed if your full face is visible.

›Can I take a Australia Visa photo at home with my phone?

Yes. Ask someone to take it from about 1–1.5 m away at eye level, in daylight, in front of a plain, light-coloured wall (light grey works well). Face the camera with a neutral expression and no glasses. Upload it here and we crop, size and check it for you.

›Why do photos get rejected?

The most common reasons are: head too small or too large, shadows on the face or background, wrong background colour, glasses or glare, a tilted head, blur, and photos edited with filters or AI. Our checker tests each of these before you pay.

›Do you edit or retouch my face?

No. Officials reject photos altered with filters or AI, so we only crop, level and resize. We never change your face or replace the background.

›Is my photo uploaded to your servers?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device and we never store it.

›What if my photo is rejected?

If an official rejects a photo our checker marked as passing, email support@pixtidy.com and we refund you in full.
