About this tool

Common questions
What size is a CR80 card?
85.6 x 54 mm, the same as a bank card. It fits standard ID card holders and lanyards.
Can I print on plastic cards?
A PVC card printer can use the card PDF, which is exactly CR80 size. On paper or card stock, use the A4 sheet and cut along the marks.
What should the QR code hold?
Often the ID number or a link. It holds whatever text you type, and it's made on your device. A code can be read by anyone with a phone, so leave out private details.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and you can use it as often as you like.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone.
Is what I enter kept?
It's only used to get your result. Some public answers, such as the branches for a pincode, are kept for a while so the next lookup is quicker, but nothing links them to you.
