Card offices spend the start of term chasing selfies that will not print. The long guide is how universities collect student ID card photos. This page is the short version for a buyer.
Publish the card rules the way you want parents and students to read them: how much of the shoulders, which background, whether glasses are allowed, and the deadline before move-in. IDPhoto.ai prepares the portrait to that specification. If your card size is not listed, support can add it. The wider catalog is 300+ specifications across 200+ countries, which also covers passport and visa photos for study-abroad offices.
What changes for the card office
- Students upload before they arrive, on a page that carries the school’s name.
- Unusable photos are rejected with one instruction, while the student is still in the flow.
- The printer receives one file per student, not a folder of edits.
- You decide how long a photo of a student is kept, and you say so. Vendor temporary links last 2 hours to 14 days and are not your retention schedule.
Each portrait is its own preparation. A large incoming class is a queue your team or a requested program runs, not a claim of a single bulk upload. See preparing many portraits. Starting from $0.20 per photo.
