About This Tool
The ID Card Maker is an in-browser canvas tool for generating standard vertical identification badges for staff members, students, and event attendees.
Card Layout & Specifications: The tool draws directly onto an HTML5 canvas formatted to standard vertical CR80 badge dimensions (638 × 1012 pixels at 300 DPI, corresponding to physical 2.125 × 3.375 inch identification cards). The layout includes a customizable header color band, a visual lanyard slot guide, centered portrait photo framing, credential text fields, and a simulated barcode footer.
Customization Options: • Organization & Title: Set organization name, recipient full name, job title, employee ID code, and department. • Metadata: Add blood group and expiration date fields for security or clinic credentials. • Headshot Photo: Upload any standard portrait image (JPEG or PNG); the canvas centers and clips the picture into the photo frame. • Accent Color: Choose custom header banner colors to match corporate or institutional branding.
Execution & Privacy: Badge rendering occurs entirely in client-side canvas memory. Uploaded headshot photos and personal identity fields remain on your device and are never sent to external servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the generated ID card?
The canvas generates a vertical CR80 format image measuring 638 × 1012 pixels (2.125 × 3.375 inches at 300 DPI), matching standard PVC employee badge cards.
Does the barcode on the badge scan with retail or optical scanners?
The barcode graphic is a simulated visual representation generated from your ID number string for visual authenticity, not an encoded symbology like Code 128 or GS1.
Are employee photos or names uploaded to any cloud server?
No. All photo scaling and text composition happen inside your local browser canvas session with zero network transmission.
What paper or card stock works best for printing badges?
Print on heavyweight cardstock (such as 80 lb cover) for laminated pouch badges, or output directly to dedicated thermal dye-sublimation PVC card printers.
