The University of Western Australia issues new students a campus card. Photos are submitted online through UWA's CaptureMe service, together with a copy of photo ID. UWA's page does not publish a pixel size or framing rules beyond what CaptureMe asks for. This preset crops to a conventional 3:4 head-and-shoulders portrait on a plain light background, gives framing tips rather than pass or fail, and exports a JPEG and a PNG.

How to take the photo

Why UWA campus card photos get rejected
- Photo too dark or backlit. Face a window; avoid bright light behind you.
- Not just head and shoulders. The tool crops to head and shoulders.
- Sunglasses or a cap. Remove them; clear glasses are usually fine.
- Busy background. Use a plain light wall.
- Blurred. Hold still, tap to focus, use the rear camera.
