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 print-ready PDF or PNG at 300 DPI, or get a full 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 are built at the international standard 85.6 by 54 mm used by every plastic card printer, in landscape or portrait, so what you design is exactly what gets printed.
Photo with zoom and drag
Upload any photo and drag or pinch it into perfect position inside the frame, so heads are never cropped awkwardly and every card in a batch looks consistent.
Scannable QR code
Add a QR code that encodes the ID number or any link you choose, so security desks and event staff can verify a card instantly with any 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
Print a full A4 sheet packed with as many cards as fit, complete with cut marks at 300 DPI. Schools and offices can produce a whole class or team 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. Everything is handled by secure protected processing and is never collected, stored or shared with anyone.
Truly free
Eight card types, three templates, unlimited cards, no watermark, no sign up and no payment. Your setup is remembered so the next card takes seconds.
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 session and exported print-ready at 300 DPI.
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 own a plastic card printer, feed the PDF straight to it since the card is already at CR80 size. 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 for organisations issuing their own identity cards to their own people: employers, schools, clubs, events and volunteer groups. It is not for producing government identity documents, and creating a card that imitates a police, government or official agency credential is a serious criminal offence in every country. Use it to identify your own members and staff.
