You should tell the system the width and height of the student photo correctly, otherwise the system will apply black as the background color when merging the two photos.

For PHP, you may use the getimagesize function to get the correct width and height.

So the code is :

<?php
$image_1 = imagecreatefrompng('HIjbp.png');
$image_2 = imagecreatefrompng('Uk5V8.png');

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize('Uk5V8.png');


imagecopy($image_1,$image_2,850,280,0,0,$width,$height);

imagepng($image_1, 'result.png');

echo '<img src="result.png" />';

?>
