ID badges designed, printed and encoded in one place
Design your cards, keep your cardholders and their photos together, then print and encode badges on your own card printer — on Windows and Mac.
14 days with every feature. No card details needed to try it.
Everything an ID card desk needs
From the first card design to the reprint two years later — one app for reception, HR, facilities and security teams.
Single or double-sided cards with text, pictures, shapes, backgrounds and fields such as name, ID and expiry date filled in for each person. Move designs between sites with export and import.
Keep people, sites and departments in the app, or connect the database you already have and save changes straight back to it.
Take photos with any webcam, crop them to the card and remove the background automatically, so every badge has the same clean look.
One card or a whole batch, single or double-sided, through your card printer's own driver. Every print is logged against the person.
Write magnetic stripes, and read or write contactless cards with a PC/SC reader. The card number is saved with the person and can go straight to your access control system.
Issue and expiry dates on every card, a default validity for new cards, and a list of the cards that are about to run out.
Cards printed by month, site or printer, reprints, missing photos and details, duplicate people, printer usage and card costs — all exportable to CSV.
PCs can share one data folder on your network. Everyone signs in, administrators and operators see what they need, and changes are recorded.
Pass cardholder changes between two of your databases — encrypted for the receiving database, and reviewed before anything is changed.
Works with the database you already have
Connect ID Badge Designer straight to your HR, payroll or access-control database. People, photos and card details are read live and saved straight back to it — new starters, edits, leavers and photos included. No exports, no second list to keep up to date.
- A step-by-step connection wizard: pick the table, match its columns to badge fields, preview, done
- Read and write — or point it at a view, or give it a read-only account, and it only reads
- No database yet? The built-in one needs no set-up, and a CSV import gets you started
Sends people and cards to your access control system
When a badge is printed or a card is encoded, ID Badge Designer can add the person to your access control system with their card and access levels. A lost card or a leaver is switched off there in a couple of clicks — no typing the same person in twice.
- Each access level in the app gives the access levels you choose in your system
- Card lost or stolen: that card stops working, and the person keeps their access with their next card
- Leavers and people made inactive have their access ended — automatically, if you want
- Straight from your PCs to your system — nothing goes through our servers
Uses each system's own API, which its supplier switches on — most charge a licence for it. Try it with a test person first. Product names are trademarks of their owners.
One price. Every feature.
No tiers, no subscription, no per-card charges. Buy for the PCs you have and add more whenever you need them.
- Every feature — designer, photos, printing, encoding, reports
- Yours to keep using — no subscription
- Automatic updates and email support
- Move a licence to a new PC whenever you need to

We write the software we sell
CleanLytics is the software arm of 4MEC Limited, an independent company registered in England and Wales and based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
We are small on purpose. The people who answer the phone are the people who wrote the code, which means a question about why something behaves the way it does gets a real answer rather than a ticket number.
Our software is built to run on your own PCs, your own network and your own database. Nothing has to pass through our servers for it to work, and we would rather your data stayed where you can see it.
Talk to a person
Questions about the software, buying for several PCs, or paying by invoice — whichever it is, you will get a reply from someone who knows the product.
New products, the CleanLytics platform, or anything that is not a support question.
