Frequently asked questions

What size is the exported ID card?

The PDF matches the international ISO 7810 ID-1 standard — 85.6 × 54 mm (same as a credit card). The PNG is rendered at 2× resolution for crisp printing.

How does the barcode work?

The barcode encodes your ID Number using the Code 128B standard — the same symbology used on postal packages and event badges. It can be scanned with any barcode reader or scanner app. Toggle it off if you don't need it.

Can I upload a photo?

Yes — click 'Choose File' under Photo, pick a JPG or PNG, and it will appear in the card's photo area. Crop or resize your photo before uploading for best results.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No — all processing happens in your browser. Your name, photo and ID details never leave your device.

Will my card data be saved?

Yes — your design is auto-saved to your browser's localStorage and reloads automatically when you revisit the page.
