What size should a Austria Passport Photo photo be?

A Austria Passport Photo photo should be 413×531 pixels (35×45 mm) at 300 DPI — a portrait (taller than wide) format on a light grey background.

What is the maximum file size for a Austria Passport Photo photo?

The file should be at or under 200 KB. Resize to 413×531 pixels first, then compress to meet the limit — compressing a large image first causes the blocky artifacts that trigger a quality rejection.

How much of the photo should my head fill for a Austria Passport Photo?

Your head should take up roughly 55–75% of the total image height. A head that is too small or too large is one of the most common rejection reasons.

Can I take a Austria Passport Photo photo at home with my phone?

Yes. Use soft, even lighting with no shadows, stand in front of a light grey background, keep a neutral expression with both eyes open and mouth closed, and face the camera squarely. Check the result against the Austria Passport Photo requirements before submitting, since upload portals enforce size and file limits automatically.
