About the ID Card Maker
An ID card has to be readable at a glance and durable in a lanyard, which means high contrast text, a clear photo and no decorative type. Use a passport-style photo taken against a plain background — crop it with the passport photo tool first if needed. Everything is rendered in your browser, so staff and student photographs are never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What photo works best on an ID card?
A front-facing photo against a plain background, cropped square-ish — the passport photo tool here can prepare it.
Can I print these cards?
Yes, download the PDF and print onto card stock or PVC card sheets.
Are the photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The card is generated in your browser and images stay on your device.
Can I make a school or employee identity card?
Yes. Choose the student or employee layout, add the organisation name, photo, roll or staff number and validity date. The output is sized to a standard CR80 identity card, so it prints at the same size as a real school or office badge.
