Terms of Use
Tip: cards use the CR80 / ID-1 format (85.6 x 54 mm) and high-resolution export for print. Card details, photos and signatures stay in this browser; the current draft is saved in local browser storage until you reset it or clear site data.
How to Make an ID Card
Three simple steps. No design software, no printing shop, no cost.
Pick the card type
Choose employee, student, visitor, membership, staff, press or volunteer, then a template, orientation and accent color.
Add photo and details
Upload a logo and photo, zoom and drag the photo into place, then fill in the name, ID number, designation, blood group, validity and contact details.
Download and print
Download the front and back as a high-resolution PDF or PNG, or create an A4 sheet of cards with cut marks for batch printing.
Everything an ID Card Maker Should Have
Professional identity cards without design software.
True CR80 card size
Cards use the CR80 / ID-1 dimensions of 85.6 by 54 mm in landscape or portrait. Keep print scaling at 100% and verify the selected printer or card stock settings before producing final badges.
Photo with zoom and drag
Upload a photo, drag it inside the frame and use the zoom control to position the face consistently before export.
Scannable QR code
Add a QR code that encodes the card ID and name, or custom text or a link, so recipients can scan the encoded information with a compatible phone.
Front and back design
The back carries the address, emergency contact, terms of use and a website strip, exactly like a real corporate or school ID, and both sides export together.
Batch print sheet
Create a high-resolution A4 sheet packed with as many cards as fit, with cut marks for easier trimming. Schools and offices can use it to prepare multiple copies from one sheet of card stock.
Signature and branding
Add your logo with a size slider, an authorised signature drawn, typed in a handwriting font or uploaded, and pick from sixteen accent colors or your exact brand color.
Private by design
Employee photos and personal details are sensitive data. This tool processes the card in your browser and does not send card content to a page-specific processing endpoint. The current draft can be stored in this browser so you can continue editing later.
Truly free
Eight card types, ten templates, landscape or portrait layouts, no watermark, no sign up and no payment. Your current draft is remembered in this browser so the next edit can start faster.
Free ID Card Generator for Offices, Schools and Events
An identity card is the fastest way to show who belongs somewhere. This ID card maker creates employee ID cards, student ID cards, visitor passes, membership cards, staff and contractor badges, press cards and volunteer badges at the true CR80 standard size of 85.6 by 54 mm, the same size as a bank card, so they fit every lanyard holder and print correctly on any card printer. Everything is designed in your browser with a live preview and exported as a high-resolution PDF or PNG suitable for CR80 printing.
Employee ID Cards and Staff Badges
A corporate ID card normally shows the company logo and name, the employee photo, full name, designation, department, employee ID number, blood group, validity date and an authorised signature, with the address, emergency contact and a return-if-found note on the back. Adding a QR code that encodes the employee ID lets reception verify a card with a phone instead of a lookup. All of those fields are built into this generator, so you can issue a complete, professional badge in minutes rather than commissioning a design.
Student ID Cards for Schools and Colleges
School and college ID cards need the institution name, student photo, name, class or course, roll or admission number, blood group, session validity and often the parent contact and address on the reverse. Switch the card type to Student and the fields relabel automatically. The batch print sheet then fills an A4 page with cards and cut marks, which is how most schools actually produce cards affordably: print on 250 to 300 gsm card stock, cut along the marks and laminate.
Visitor Passes, Membership and Event Badges
Visitor passes and event badges usually carry fewer details and a clear validity date, since they expire the same day. Gym, club and library membership cards add a member number and expiry, and a QR code turns the card into a scannable membership token. Because every field and label is editable and the card type can be set to Custom, the same tool covers gate passes, contractor badges, press accreditation and volunteer identification.
Printing Your ID Cards Properly
For a single card, download the PDF and print at 100 percent scale with no page scaling, on 250 to 300 gsm card stock, then laminate or slide it into a plastic holder. For a batch, use the print sheet and cut along the marks. If you use a plastic card printer, choose 100% scale and confirm the printer is configured for CR80 / ID-1 media before printing. Need a proper photo first? Use our free Passport Photo Maker, and issue staff paperwork with the Salary Slip Generator or Certificate Generator.
Honest Note on Identity Documents
This tool is intended for organisations creating their own employee, student, member, visitor, contractor, press or volunteer cards. Do not use it to imitate government, police or other official credentials, or to misrepresent a person's identity or authority. Laws and credential requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Photo ID Card Maker with CR80 Size, QR Code, PDF and PNG Export
Use the same workspace as an employee ID card maker, student ID card maker, staff badge maker, visitor pass maker, membership card generator or custom photo ID card designer. The live preview supports ten card templates, portrait and landscape orientation, organisation branding, editable detail rows, issue and expiry dates, front-and-back layouts, optional QR codes and signature controls.
For printing, the card layout follows the familiar CR80 / ID-1 footprint of 85.6 × 54 mm. Download a single card as PDF, export PNG images for the front and back, create an A4 batch sheet with cut marks, or use the browser Print action. Actual printed size still depends on using 100% scale and correct printer settings.
ID Card Draft Privacy and Browser Storage
The editor runs in the browser. Card text, photos, logos and signatures are not submitted to a page-specific CorrectionCopy processing endpoint. To make repeated editing convenient, the current draft can be stored in this browser using local storage. Use Reset to clear the saved draft for this tool, and remember that clearing browser site data can also remove it.

ID Card Maker Troubleshooting
Quick checks for export, QR code, photo and saved-draft issues.
PDF or PNG does not download
Check the internet connection because the export libraries are loaded from pinned CDN files. If they are unavailable, use Print and choose your browser's Save as PDF option.
QR code is not visible
Choose an enabled QR mode and enter content when Custom is selected. If the QR library fails to load, refresh once with a working connection and try again.
Photo framing needs adjustment
Use Photo zoom, then drag the image inside the photo frame. The position and zoom are reflected in the live preview and exported card.
Saved details disappeared
The current draft uses browser storage, not an account. Opening another browser profile, clearing site data or some private-browsing modes can remove the saved draft.

Choose a card type and template, enter the card holder details, add a photo and organisation logo if needed, choose an accent color, then download the finished ID card as PDF or PNG.

The ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 format has nominal dimensions of 85.60 × 53.98 mm, commonly rounded to 85.6 × 54 mm. This ID card maker uses that CR80-style footprint in landscape and portrait, so keep the printer at 100% scale and select the correct card media size for accurate output.

Use the maker only for legitimate organisation-issued cards such as employee, student, membership, visitor, volunteer, press and contractor badges. Do not imitate government, police, military or other official credentials, and do not use a card to misrepresent identity, qualifications or authority. Applicable laws vary by jurisdiction.
