ID Card Maker Online
Make a clean, professional ID card in your browser with this free ID card maker online. Type the details, add a photo, pick one of three ready-made designs, and download a sharp PNG you can print at home, at school or at the office. No sign-up, no watermark, and your photo never leaves your device.
How to use this ID card maker
- Choose a design — Blue Corporate for offices, Green School for schools and classes, or Orange for events and teams.
- Pick the card shape: portrait for neck lanyards, landscape for desk and wallet cards.
- Type the organisation name, the person's name, their role or class, and an ID number. Blood group and phone are optional — leave them empty and they simply do not appear.
- Add a photo if you have one. It is cropped to fill the photo box; without a photo, the card shows a neat placeholder.
- Check the live preview, then press Download PNG and print the file, or send it to a card-printing shop.
How it works
The maker draws your card on a hidden drawing surface in the browser called a canvas, at 638 × 1010 pixels for portrait cards — the same proportions as a standard bank card — or 1010 × 638 for landscape. Every keystroke redraws the card: the coloured header band with your organisation's name, the photo box, the name in large type, the role line, a divider, and the detail lines for the ID number, blood group and phone. The footer band carries a "please return" line, which is what makes a lost card find its way back.
Photos are fitted with a cover crop: the picture is scaled until it fills the photo box completely, and the overflow is trimmed from the sides or the top and bottom, so faces are never stretched. When you download, the canvas is converted into a PNG image file. Everything happens on your own device — the photo and the details are never uploaded to a server, which is exactly how a tool that handles identity cards should behave.
Worked example
Let us make a school card. Choose the Green School design and keep the portrait shape. Type the organisation Sunrise Public School, the name Aarav Shah, the role Class 8-B and the ID number STU-1042. Add blood group B+ and leave the phone empty.
The preview shows a green header with the school name, an empty photo box waiting for a picture, "Aarav Shah" in large letters, "Class 8-B" under it, and two detail lines: "ID No: STU-1042" and "Blood Group: B+". No phone line appears, because the field is empty. Downloading gives you a file named id-card-aarav-shah.png. Print it at 100% scale, cut along the edge, and it is ready for a lanyard pouch.
Printing tips for ID cards
Print at 100% scale — turning on "fit to page" will change the size. On a home printer, glossy photo paper gives the sharpest result; for a card that must survive a school year, print on thick 300 gsm paper and slide it into a plastic pouch, or have a print shop laminate it. The standard card size (CR80) is 54 × 86 mm, and these downloads match it at 300 dpi in portrait, so a shop can also print them directly onto PVC cards.
One honest limit: this maker produces a picture of a card, not an official document. Real government and company IDs have security features and issuing authorities behind them. These cards are perfect for schools, coaching classes, offices, events, clubs and teams — anywhere a neat identification card is useful.
FAQ
How do I make an ID card with this tool?
Fill in the form: pick a design and card shape, type the organisation name, the person's name, role or class and an ID number, and add a photo if you have one. The preview updates as you type. When the card looks right, press Download PNG to save it as an image file, ready to print at 100% scale or to send to a card-printing shop.
Is this ID card maker free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many cards you make. Each card is made one at a time — type the next person's details and download again for the next card. Everything runs in your browser, so the tool works without an account and your details never leave your device.
What size is the downloaded ID card?
Portrait cards download at 638 × 1010 pixels and landscape cards at 1010 × 638 pixels. Those are the proportions of a standard CR80 card (54 × 86 mm), so printing the file at 100% scale gives you a real card size at about 300 dpi. If your printer offers a "borderless" option, use it for edge-to-edge colour.
Can I add a photo to the ID card?
Yes. Use the Photo field to choose any picture from your device. The maker crops it to fill the photo box without stretching, so a normal front-facing photo works best. The photo is only read inside your browser to draw the card — it is never uploaded or stored anywhere. If you skip the photo, the card shows a simple placeholder figure instead.
Which details are required on the card?
Only the person's name is strictly required — the Download button asks for it if the name box is empty, because an ID card without a name is not much use. The organisation, role and ID number have sensible placeholder text if left empty, and the blood group and phone lines appear only when you fill them in.
Can I use these cards as official ID?
No. These are identification cards for schools, offices, events, clubs and teams — they carry no official status, no security features and no issuing authority behind them. Never present one as a government or company-issued document. For a school, coaching class, workplace or conference, though, they are exactly the right thing: clear, neat and recognisable.
