How to get your file to fit
- Drop your document into the tool above. The target is already set to 5 MB.
- Press compress. The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits, rather than picking a quality and hoping — so you keep as much detail as the limit allows.
- Check the reported size and dimensions against the table above before you upload. If the tool had to reduce the dimensions to reach the target, it says so.
- Download and upload to ImmiAccount. Keep the original file — if the portal rejects the upload for a reason other than size, you will want to start again from the full-quality image.
Notes and disclaimer
Australian Department of Home Affairs — ImmiAccount caps the document at 5 MB.
ImmiAccount has no dedicated photo-upload feature with its own pixel spec — a passport-style photo is attached as a generic supporting document. Home Affairs states a 5 MB maximum per attachment, with between 30 and 60 attachable files depending on application type. Accepted file formats are not stated on that page, so none are listed here.
Check your own notification. img-fix is not affiliated with ImmiAccount. This figure was read from Department of Home Affairs — ImmiAccount help: attaching documents on 2026-07-26. Exam and recruitment bodies change upload rules between cycles, so the bulletin for the exam you are actually sitting is the authority.
ImmiAccount upload questions
How do I get my file under 5 MB without ruining it?
By searching for the right JPEG quality rather than guessing at one. The tool above encodes your image repeatedly at different quality settings and keeps the largest result that still fits — so you spend every available byte on image quality instead of overshooting and handing in something blurrier than it needed to be.
If no quality setting is small enough, it reduces the dimensions in steps and searches again, and it tells you when that happened.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. This site is static files on a CDN with no upload endpoint at all, which is also why it is free — there is no bandwidth bill to pass on.
Why does the size shown differ slightly from what the portal reports?
Because "KB" is ambiguous. This tool uses 1 KB = 1024 bytes, which is what upload validators almost always use. Some file managers use 1 KB = 1000 bytes, which makes the same file look about 2.4% larger. If you are right on the edge of a limit, aim a few KB under it.
