A New Zealand University of Auckland ID card photo is 1125 × 1500 px on a white or off-white background, saved as a JPEG 500 KB – 1 MB. The head must measure 1125 px (75% of the height) from chin to crown, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.
