Features
π΄ Dual-Sided Student ID Cards β Front & Back
Unlike basic ID card makers, this tool generates a complete double-sided card β just like a real, physical student ID. You see both sides live in the preview panel as you work, and you can export the front only, back only, or both sides together in a single ZIP file.
The front side displays the student’s photo, name, program/course, faculty or department, student ID, blood group, and enrollment date β everything a proper student ID card needs at a glance.
The back side carries the institution’s stamp, emergency contact, campus address, identity document details, QR code, and barcode β giving the card real-world security and verification value, so it can double as a functional campus access or library card.
π€ Student Details β Every Field You Need
The Student tab covers all the information a complete student ID card should carry:
- Full Name
- Student ID
- Program / Course
- Faculty / Department
- Blood Group
- Enrollment Date
- Phone Number
- Email Address
- Campus Address
- Identity Document Type β choose from 20 document types, with Student ID selected by default, plus CNIC (Pakistan), B-Form / CRC (Pakistan), Passport, Driver’s License, Iqama Number (Saudi Arabia), Emirates ID (UAE), Aadhaar Number (India), Social Security Number (USA), Social Insurance Number (Canada), National Insurance Number (UK), Resident Permit ID, Work Permit Number, Military ID, Voter ID, and more
- Document Number
π« Institution Info & Branding
The Institution tab is where your school, college, or university’s identity goes on the card:
- Institution Name
- Institution Website
- Institution Address
- Emergency Contact Number
- Institution Logo β upload your own crest or logo image; it renders directly on the card
- Institution Stamp β upload an official stamp or seal image (PNG with transparent background works best) that appears on the back of the card for authenticity
π¨ Styles Tab β Full Visual Customisation
This is where you make the card look exactly the way you want it.
4 Preset Template Styles Choose a starting point that matches your institution’s personality:
- π’ Corporate β Clean, structured, and professional. Ideal for universities, colleges, and formal academic institutions.

You can also upload your own background image and control its opacity with a slider so it sits perfectly behind your card content without overpowering it.
Colour Controls
- Theme Accent Colour β pick any colour using the colour picker or enter a hex code; this colour drives the headers, highlights, and card borders across all template styles
- Card Background Colour β independently set the base card colour
- Pattern / Overlay Colour β separately control the tint of the background pattern
Orientation Switch between Portrait (350Γ530px) and Landscape (530Γ350px) card layouts with a single click β plus an option to show or hide the “Powered by KingzDesigns” branding line.
βοΈ Signature & Verification Codes Tab
This tab adds the finishing security and authenticity features that turn a basic design into a proper, trusted student ID card.
Digital Signatures β 2 Methods
Type your signature β enter any name (e.g. registrar or principal) and choose from 12 professional signature fonts, each with a distinct handwritten style:
| Font | Style |
|---|---|
| Playball | Classic Cursive |
| Caveat | Modern Handdrawn |
| Sacramento | Slim Elegant |
| Playfair Display | Formal Monogram |
| Dancing Script | Flowing |
| Great Vibes | Luxe Signature |
| Pacifico | Friendly Bold |
| Alex Brush | Thin Signature |
| Tangerine | Brittany Style |
| Pinyon Script | Calligraphy |
| Mr De Haviland | Amsterdam Style |
| Euphoria Script | Autography |
Upload a signature image β if you already have a scanned or digital signature (e.g. from the registrar’s office), upload it as a PNG (transparent background recommended) and it will be placed directly on the card.
QR Code Enable or disable a fully scannable QR code on the back of the card. By default it encodes the student’s ID and name. You can override this with any custom data β a student portal link, profile URL, or emergency contact info.
Barcode Enable or disable a Code-128 barcode that auto-generates from the Student ID by default. You can provide custom barcode data for any purpose, such as library or attendance systems.
π Bulk Generation β Create Hundreds of Cards at Once
The Bulk Upload tab is the tool’s most powerful feature for school and university administrators.
Upload a CSV or Excel (.xlsx / .xls) file containing your student database. The tool reads each row, generates both sides of each student’s ID card automatically, and packages every card as a set of PNG images inside a single downloadable ZIP file.
Supported column headers (case-insensitive): Full Name, Student ID, Program, Department, Blood Group, Phone, Email, and other matching fields.
This means you can go from a spreadsheet of an entire incoming class to a complete set of ready-to-print student ID cards in minutes β no manual editing required.
πΈ Smart Photo Cropping
When you upload a student photo, a built-in cropping tool opens automatically. You can zoom, reposition, and rotate the image β left or right β then click Apply Crop to lock it in. The photo is cropped into a perfect circle, just as it should appear on a professional student ID card. No external image editor needed.
β¬οΈ Export & Print Options
Once your card is ready, you have multiple ways to save and use it:
- Export PNG β Front Side Only β download just the front of the card as a high-quality PNG
- Export PNG β Back Side Only β download just the back
- Export PNG β Both Sides (ZIP) β download both sides together in a ZIP archive
- Export PDF β download the card as a PDF document, ready for printing or digital distribution
- Print β send both sides of the card directly to your printer in a correctly formatted print layout, with all UI controls hidden automatically
π New Card, Reset & Clone Card State
- New Card β start a fresh card design in one click
- Reset β quickly clear the current form and start over
- Clone Card State β duplicate the current card’s settings so you can quickly create a variation without starting from scratch
πΎ Auto-Save β Never Lose Your Work
Every change you make is automatically saved to your browser’s local storage. If you accidentally close the tab or refresh the page, your card data is still there when you come back. No manual saving, no lost work.
π 100% Private β Everything Stays in Your Browser
No account. No login. No server. Your students’ data, photos, logos, and card designs are never uploaded or stored anywhere outside your own browser. Once you close the page and clear your browser data, everything is gone.
This makes the tool safe to use with real student information and fully compatible with GDPR, FERPA, CCPA, and other student data protection regulations.
π± Works on All Devices
The studio is fully responsive and works on desktops, laptops, and tablets. For detailed design work, a larger screen is recommended to get the most out of the live dual-sided preview.
