How to Get an Australian ID Photo Online

  1. QUICK STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

    Need an ID photo for a passport, Keypass Digital ID, Form 1195, ImmiCard, student card, or another Australian document? PhotoBooth Online turns a regular phone picture into an ID-ready digital file or printed photos – you do not need to memorise Australian Passport Office rules, visit Australia Post, or guess whether your ID picture will be rejected.

    One Australia-specific catch: there is no online passport photo upload for Australian passports. Most paper applications (passport, Form 1195) need printed 35×45 mm photos. Digital alone is enough only when the application accepts a file upload (for example Keypass Digital ID).

    Process overview: upload a casual portrait, automated Australian ID photo formatting and checks, then receive a digital ID photo and a print-ready sheet.

    How it works:

    Take & Upload a Clear Selfie

    No studio setup required – face your phone camera, keep a neutral expression (no smile), head and shoulders in frame, even lighting with no shadows on your face. Then upload using the button on this page. It’s not necessary to have a plain background (if it isn’t plain, we replace it during processing anyway).

    Automated Check + Free Preview

    We crop to 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm) proportions, let you choose your background (original, plain light grey, or plain darker grey), and run AI checks on head size, lighting, expression, and framing – aligned with Australian Passport Office and wider Australian ID photo guidance. You see a free preview of the result before any payment.

    Choose Digital or Prints

    Happy with the preview? Pick the format that matches your document. Every order includes a human expert check, our acceptance guarantee and 60-day money-back policy:

    $4.95 – Digital ID Photo + Print-Ready Template

    A digital Australian ID photo (JPG) plus a 6×4 inch print layout with four 35×45 mm shots – ready to print the same day at Officeworks, a pharmacy photo counter, supermarket kiosk, or any local print shop. Best when you need prints for a passport or Form 1195 but can visit a counter yourself.

    $13.95 – Digital + 8 Pre-Printed ID Photos

    Everything in the digital plan, plus 8 professional prints on photo paper, posted free to your address. Choose this if you want prints delivered without a store visit (still cheaper than typical $19+ Australia Post / in-store photo services).

    Final Compliance Check

    After payment, our photo expert does a compliance double-check against typical Australian ID photo rules before release (usually takes about a minute). If something would fail – shadows, tilted head, wrong expression – you get clear feedback and can retake at no extra cost. Once it passes, you download your digital files immediately; printed orders are prepared for delivery.

    🛡️ Australian ID photo acceptance guarantee. If the Australian Passport Office or another authority rejects a photo we approved, we refund you in full within 60 days – so you can apply with confidence, not guesswork.

    Which option do you actually need?

    • Passport / Form 1195 / paper ID applications → you need prints. Use the $4.95 template for same-day store printing, or order delivery of prints for $13.95.
    • Keypass Digital ID or other file-upload apps → the digital JPG from either plan is enough.
    • Student ID, proof of age, ImmiCard, work badge → confirm whether your issuer wants a file or a printed 35×45 mm photo, then pick digital or prints accordingly.

Passport Photo FAQ

  1. Why get my Australian ID photo online?

    Save Money

    Same Day ID Photo

    Save a digital photo to print and use it for documents in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and other states. What with the border restrictions in QLD, NSW or VIC, a proper ID photo will always come in handy.

    Australia Guidelines

    Keypass Digital ID

    Upload a usual full-body picture, wait a couple of seconds for us to process it and download a valid photo usable in the Keypass in Digital ID app. Or print any number of ID photos with our 600 DPI template in HD resolution.

  2. Where can I take ID photo in Australia fast?

    You can take an ID picture at home, in an Aus Post office or in a shop like Officeworks (please note that not all stores can have your photo taken). If you’re in a hurry and search for a photographer who can take photographs fast per government authorities’ instructions and standards, or on the same day, choose to take individual photography at home. Here’s how you can take a photo for your official Australian ID (like Key Pass or some other) quickly:
     

    1. Use your Android phone, iPhone, or DSLR camera. Even a digital camcorder is OK if it can take photo shots.
    2. Dress formally. Don’t wear glasses, a hat, or any head coverings
    3. Ensure there are no shadows on your face or background (these are unacceptable in ID photos)
    4. Keep your eyes open, don’t smile
    5. Take a photo for your use

     
    Once your photo is ready, you can either use its digital version (e.g. for Keypass Digital ID) or print it out to attach to a paper application (like the form 1195 identity declaration)

  3. How do I take a Australian ID photo at home?

    Get a smartphone or a digital camera to take a photo on your own, without a photograph store employees help. Use a white background. Make sure that’s enough lighting in your room. Here’s how to create a good photo at home:
     

    1. Turn on the lighting in the room. Or better yet, find a window with even natural light (not sunlight!) coming in—this is the best light source for an ID photo
    2. Test your smartphone camera. If you don’t like the image quality, download a new camera app from Google Play or Apple Store
    3. Set your phone on a tripod at your head level
    4. Check brightness and contrast
    5. Stand still and look directly into the camera
    6. Take a picture and validate the result

  4. How to take student ID image?

    There are several ways you can have student and school children photos taken. For example, you do it yourself following the steps as described on this page above:
     

    1. Use your camera or smartphone (ensure it has a good-enough resolution to take ID photos)
    2. Use the natural light or switch on the artificial lights to process images without shadows on your mouth, face, hair, shoulders, etc
    3. Make sure there are no other objects or items in your place
    4. Before taking your ID photo, access your camera menu options to make necessary adjustments such as portrait mode, minimum file resolution in pixels, automatic connection to cloud services and applications like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive
    5. Look up front. Do not tilt or turn your head, as you must be perfectly recognisable in your student ID photo
    6. Take headshots several times so that you can select the best image
    7. Upload one of your files here at the online image maker for the cropping purpose
    8. Please note that we respect your data submission privacy and security, so we don’t ask for your email address, country information, mail address, or any payment authorization
    9. Proceed to the crop page to apply crop frame over your shots
    10. Next on the download page of the website, get one electronic copy and one printed version

     
    Before taking your uni face image, you should consult your University, Campus, or College administration on how to dress according to the educational institution rules. Check your school ID regulations to utilize proper background and print photos in the correct size.

  5. What is size of ID photo Australia?

    The acceptable print size is 3.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high. As stated in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations, your image should be printed on gloss paper.
     
    Regarding the standards for digital ID photos, your image should be at least 600 pixels in width x 750 pixels in height and have a resolution of at least 600 DPI (dots per inch).

  6. Can I take an ID photo for the form 1195 identity declaration?

    Yes, you can take such an image here but please note that only a printed photograph can be attached to your application form.
     
    In order to get a valid printout faster, you can use our background removal and crop page. Simply upload any usual picture where your face is fully visible and evenly lit. In a matter of seconds, we’ll make it into a fully compliant photo in two versions: a single JPEG file and a printable template with several copies of your image. We recommend printing out the latter—although you only need one ID photo to attach to the form 1195 identity declaration, you may need the other copies later (say, for your Keypass ID card, work permit, profile picture, student id card or another document).
