How to create a printable ID card — 4 steps
- 1
Pick a template
Choose a portrait or landscape design from the Employee, Student, Visitor, or Crew categories, in a plain or patterned style.
- 2
Add the holder's details
Enter name, role, or ID number, then upload a photo and, if needed, a logo.
- 3
Edit front and back
Adjust colors, toggle the QR code or barcode, and fill in the back side's verification details.
- 4
Download as PDF or PNG
Export at print resolution — standard CR80 size — ready for card stock or a badge printer.
Employee ID cards & badges
Build an employee ID card online with department, role, employee number, and an optional QR code that links to a directory or verification page. Corporate, healthcare, and government-style templates are available in plain or branded finishes, and every card supports a back side for policy text, a barcode, or an emergency contact.
Student & school ID cards
Create a student identification card with photo, grade or class, student ID number, and school year — sized the same as a campus-issued card so it fits standard lanyards and badge holders. Education-themed templates cover schools, colleges, and campus libraries.
Visitor & crew badges
Make a visitor badge for front-desk check-ins, or a crew pass for events, conferences, backstage access, and airline or flight-crew staff — the Crew category includes an Airline Crew template built for that use case. Time-limited passes can show a visit date or an expiry field on the back.
Printable ID cards as PDF
Every template exports as a print-ready PDF at true CR80 size (85.6 × 54mm), so it prints correctly on card stock or through a badge printer without rescaling. Prefer an image instead? The same design downloads as a high-resolution PNG.
What you can make with this ID card maker
This tool is for making a finished card design that you can print or send to someone else. It is not an identity-checking service and it does not issue an official identity document. You choose a starting design, replace the sample information with your own details, and decide which information belongs on the front and back.
It works well for employee badges, school and college cards, visitor passes, membership cards, event passes, and crew cards. The right template depends on the situation: a plain card is usually easier to print in an office, while a patterned design can make an event or visitor pass easier to recognise at a glance.
What goes on the card
You can add a person's name, role, department, class, organisation, ID number, phone number, or other custom fields. A photo and logo can be added when the design needs them. The editor also supports an optional QR code or barcode, which can hold a link, an ID value, or another piece of information that a scanner can read.
The back of the card is useful for details that should not compete with the person's name on the front. For example, you might put a return instruction on a visitor badge, a verification link on an employee card, or an emergency contact and expiry date on the back. Keep only the information people actually need; a crowded card is harder to read and harder to print well.
Templates, size, and downloads
The page currently has 52 templates, with portrait and landscape options. You can filter them by category, orientation, and style, or search for a use case such as school, hospital, visitor, membership, or crew. Plain templates are available when you want a simple card without a decorative background.
Cards are designed at the standard CR80 size of 85.6 × 54 mm (3.375 × 2.125 inches). You can download the finished design as a PDF for printing or as a PNG image for sharing and other design work. The output is a design file; you will still need card stock, a printer, or a badge-printing service to produce a physical card.
Making one card or a batch
For one card, choose a template and open the editor from its “Use this template” link. For a group of people, the editor has a bulk option that can read a CSV file and match each row with an optional photo. It can create a multi-page PDF or a ZIP of PNG files, which is more practical than entering every person's name by hand.
CSV files and photos are read in the browser. If you are working with staff or student information, check the rows and photo names before exporting, and keep the source spreadsheet somewhere safe. A missing photo or misspelled filename will leave that person with the template's default image instead.
What this tool does not do
This tool creates a printable layout; it does not verify that a person is who they say they are, check an employee number, or make a QR code secure by itself. A QR code simply stores the value you give it. If it links to a private directory or verification page, the security of that destination is your responsibility.
It also does not print plastic cards, add a magnetic stripe, or replace an organisation's approval process. Before using a card for access or identification, confirm the required fields, photo rules, expiry details, and printing specifications with the organisation that will use it.
What to do after you make the card
Open the downloaded file and check the name, photo, ID number, dates, QR code, and both sides before printing. If you need a different design, return to the template list and try another portrait, landscape, plain, or patterned option. For a set of cards, keep the CSV and photo filenames consistent so you can correct one row and export the batch again without rebuilding the design.
The editor processes the design in your browser rather than sending the card details to a server. That is useful for personal, employee, and student information, but it does not remove the need to handle the downloaded files carefully once they are saved or printed.
