Example 45×60 mm standard photo for a university/school student ID

Key takeaways

  • Student ID size differs from driving licence/passport: 45×60 mm
  • No biometric requirement — a slight smile is accepted
  • Digital uploads to OBS/e-Devlet accept both JPEG and PNG
  • Same format works for YÖK/ÖSYM examination applications

Prepare the 45×60 mm standard photo requested for university enrolment, ÖSYM exam applications (YKS/YÖS/DGS/ALES), high-school ID renewals, YÖK student certificates, e-Devlet student certificate PDF profile pictures and exchange programmes (Erasmus, YTB, KA131).

How it works

Student ID Photo — 45×60mm Standard — get it right in 4 steps.

  1. Take a relaxed frame in window light

    Stand in front of a plain wall with the phone at eye level; a slight smile is fine for a student ID.

  2. Upload the photo and pick student mode

    The AI analyses with relaxed tolerances, warning only about focus, shadow and exposure issues.

  3. Let the 45×60 mm crop apply automatically

    The crop includes the shoulder line and the background converts to the colour your institution expects; a 540×720 pixel PNG is produced.

  4. Upload to the portal or ship the 6-up print

    Upload the digital file to the enrolment form immediately, or have 6 prints on a 10×15 sheet shipped to you.

  • For digital upload prefer PNG (lossless); JPEG 90% is acceptable.

The Student ID Photo Standard (2026)

Student ID photos fall into a "standard photo" category separate from strict biometric applications. The 45×60 mm size is the most common on chipless plastic or cardboard student cards and on forms of YÖK (Council of Higher Education) and ÖSYM (Measurement, Selection and Placement Centre). University enrolment, **YKS (Higher Education Institutions Exam, the main ÖSYM exam since 2018)**, YÖS (International Student Exam), DGS (Vertical Transfer Exam), ALES (Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Entrance Exam) and Erasmus/YTB/KA131 exchange forms all use the same size.

This category does not require the rigid neutral-expression rule of biometric photos: a gentle smile, casual student clothing and — with the institution's approval — a coloured background are acceptable. It is enough that the photo was taken within the last 12 months and reflects the student's current appearance. On the e-Devlet **student certificate with photo PDF** the same 45×60 mm (or a downscaled biometric 50×60 mm) is also placed automatically.

Student Mode: AI Analysis with Relaxed Tolerances

vesikalik.com.tr's "student mode" analysis is aware of that flexibility: smile, raised-eyebrow and hair-accessory warnings turn green, and only issues that affect clear visibility (focus, shadows, over-exposure) stay in the yellow-red band. That lets you take a more relaxed shot while keeping the card usable for years.

Glasses are allowed on student IDs; a warning is only raised when lens glare is present. At schools with mandatory uniforms, the collar and name badge should remain visible; vesikalik.com.tr automatically frames the crop to include the shoulder line.

Home Shooting: a Student Photo in 5 Minutes

Correct and incorrect student ID photo examples: compliant 45×60 mm photo versus smiling, lens glare and shadowed background mistakes
Correct (✓): neutral expression, white background. Wrong (✕): smiling, lens glare, shadowed background.

A single frame taken in front of a plain wall with the phone at eye level is enough. A window-front position gives the best light; the wall colour does not matter because the BiRefNet segmentation model automatically converts the backdrop to the colour the institution expects (usually white).

Instead of queueing at a photo studio at the start of term, a compliant photo can be uploaded to the enrolment form within minutes; siblings and classmates can be processed in the same session.

Outputs: PNG + a 10×15 Print Sheet

The digital output is packaged as a 540×720 pixel PNG; since some universities' student information systems ask for a high-resolution JPEG, an optional 1080×1440 pixel package is also offered. On the print side, a 10×15 sheet variant with 6 photos leaves spares for class, degree registration and exchange forms.

Prints ship to your address within Turkey. If needed, a 50×60 mm biometric version can be produced from the same source photo — no second shoot required if a passport or ID application falls in the same period.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

  • Use a natural expression — a slight smile is fine on a student ID
  • Make sure the photo was taken within the last 12 months
  • If a uniform is required, keep the collar and name badge visible
  • For digital upload use PNG or JPEG at 90%+ quality
  • Check the background colour your institution expects in advance

Don't

  • Do not apply heavy filters or feature-altering edits
  • Do not leave glare on glasses lenses
  • No hair, hats or hoods covering the face
  • Do not upload blurry, dark or over-exposed frames
  • Do not use a very old photo — the card stays valid for years

FAQ

What photo formats are supported?
You can upload JPG or PNG, or capture with your browser camera. Photos with a short side of at least 480 pixels are accepted; 720 pixels or more give sharper results. For low resolution or slight head tilt the system may try an automatic fix — just review the preview.
How should I take my photo?
Face the camera, keep a neutral expression, eyes open, and do not smile. Use even natural light and avoid harsh side shadows. A plain (preferably light) background is enough — the model cleans complex backdrops. A headscarf is fine if the whole face is visible; do not wear dark sunglasses.
What should I pay attention to when taking the photo?
Stand in even natural light in front of a plain light background (white or light grey) and avoid harsh side shadows. Face the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and no smile; keep your head upright and make sure hair does not cover the face or eyebrows. Wear plain clothing and avoid glare on glasses — our analysis measures each of these criteria automatically and warns you before you commit.
What is a standard ID (vesikalık) photo?
The standard vesikalık photo size is 4.5×6 cm and is used for job applications, school enrolment, notary documents, exam registration and similar procedures; a white background, a clear face and a neutral expression are enough. For official biometric applications (ID, passport, driving licence) the 50×60 mm biometric size is required — most people like to keep both formats on hand. Both presets live in the wizard, and after payment several copies can be tiled onto the 10×15 print sheet.
What size photo do schools require for student ID cards?
School enrolments and student ID cards traditionally use the 4.5×6 cm vesikalık; the e-Okul digital upload requires a 394×512 pixel JPEG. Universities usually ask for both a 4.5×6 print and a JPEG file. Pick the "School/Student" preset in the wizard and order a 10×15 print sheet — the JPEG for e-Okul and several prints for enrolment are ready at the same time.
