Student ID card generator

Lay out a student identity card at standard CR80 proportions with the fields a card is actually used for — identity, class, an emergency contact and a validity date — printed at card size, front and back.

No photograph upload and no barcode, deliberately. Both are explained below; neither omission is an oversight.

Written by Checked by K. ManiLast reviewed

A student card does two jobs: it identifies a child at a gate, and it tells whoever finds them who to call. Most card designs spend their space on the first and forget the second, which is the one that matters at six in the evening.

01

The emergency contact is the point

A card carrying a name, a class and an admission number identifies a child to the school, which already knows who they are. The line that earns its place is the one a stranger reads: who to call, and a blood group.

02

Why there is no QR code on it

A code that scans to nothing makes a card look machine-verifiable when it is not, and that is precisely the property that matters for a card used to enter a building. A code is worth printing only when something on the other side of it can confirm the record — which means a system, not a form.

The same reasoning covers the photograph. It is affixed and attested by the school, because that attestation is what a gate is actually checking.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

What size does it print at?

CR80 — 54 × 86mm portrait, the standard card size. Most schools print onto pre-cut card stock or trim to the edge.

Can I add the school logo?

Not in this version; the masthead is text. Schools printing at volume generally use pre-printed stock carrying the logo and print the variable fields onto it.

Is anything I type stored?

No. It runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no sign-in. Printing uses your own browser’s print dialogue, which is also how you save it as a PDF.
