Australia uses a 35×45 mm photo (the Australian Passport Office allows 35–40 mm wide by 45–50 mm high; 35×45 mm sits inside that and is the safe default). The face must be 32–36 mm from chin to crown — a little larger in the frame than the UK or Schengen head size, so pick the Australia template rather than reusing an EU photo.
The Australian Passport Office accepts a plain white or light-grey background; PassportNinja outputs clean, even white, which qualifies as a plain light background. Because the head has to fill 32–36 mm of a 45 mm-tall photo, framing matters: have someone photograph you from about 1.5 m with your whole head and the top of your shoulders in view, so the tool has room to crop correctly.
PassportNinja handles the mechanical part: it crops to the exact size, scales your head to the required height and replaces the background with plain white, then gives you a digital file at 600 dpi plus a printable 10×15 cm sheet. It does not judge lighting, expression or glasses, and it can't guarantee acceptance — that's always the issuing office's call. Follow the checklist for the things a tool can't see. That covers an australia passport photo at home job entirely — there's no studio or photo booth step in the middle, just a photo taken at home or wherever you are and uploaded straight into the tool. A diy passport photo australia approach works the same way: take the shot yourself against any plain wall, and let the tool square up the size, crop and background afterwards.
Two things the checklist still asks of you, since a tool can't judge them: a neutral expression with a passport photo beard australia photo left exactly as it is — facial hair isn't something to hide or trim for the shot, just keep the expression neutral and the face clearly visible — and plain clothing, since an australia passport photo clothes choice that's low-contrast against a white background photographs more predictably than a busy pattern.
Applying somewhere else too? The India passport & visa photo guide covers the square 2×2 inch format used there, and the ID photo maker is the one to use for a driving licence or ID card instead of a passport.

The passport photo dimensions Australia requires are 35 mm wide by 45 mm high, with the face measuring 32–36 mm from chin to crown. That's larger than the UK or Schengen head size, which is why reusing a European photo usually fails the crop.
