KadiFasta helps schools, event organizers, and businesses design and print ID cards and badges that look professional every time. Build a card once on a precise, print-accurate canvas, or describe it to the built-in AI assistant and let it edit the design for you, then bring in your recipients from a spreadsheet, a SQL database, or direct entry — with photos and signatures imported or captured live from a camera — to turn a single template into a stack of hundreds of finished, print-ready cards.

KadiFasta Design Software Features
AI Design Assistant
Describe it, and the assistant designs or edits your card
The built-in AI assistant understands your current design and can generate a brand-new card from scratch or edit what's already on the canvas, all from a plain-language prompt or an attached reference image for style guidance.
- Chat-style prompt panel docked to the canvas
- Generates a brand-new design or edits what's on the canvas
- Attach a reference image for style guidance
- Works with a prepaid AI credit wallet, billed per use
Design canvas
A precise, print-accurate canvas
Add text, photo boxes, signature boxes, static images, and shapes — rectangles, circles, lines, polygons, freehand paths, and a full Bezier pen with click-drag curve handles. Combine shapes with union, subtract, intersect, and combine operations. Cards are sized in real millimeters or inches, front and back, in landscape or portrait.
- Text, photo, signature & static image elements
- Rectangle, circle, line, polygon, path & Bezier pen
- Boolean union / subtract / intersect / combine
- Custom card sizes in mm or inches, front & back
Data sources & bulk generation
Any data source in, a stack of finished cards out
Use the data you already have — import an Excel (.xlsx/.xls) or CSV file, connect directly to a SQL database, or type records in by hand — and KadiFasta merges each record's name, ID number, and other fields into your template, photos and signatures included, with automatic face-cropping and background cleanup applied across the whole batch. Preview any record with sample data before committing to a full run of hundreds of cards.
- Import recipients from Excel (.xlsx/.xls) or CSV
- Connect directly to a SQL database
- Type records in directly — no spreadsheet needed
- Per-record photo & signature merge
- Automatic face-crop & background cleanup, batch-wide
- Sample-data preview before a full run
Photo & signature capture
Passport-ready photos and clean signatures, automatically
Bring images in however suits you — pick a file, merge them from your data source, or capture a photo or signature on the spot with a connected camera or webcam. Every photo box comes with a built-in editor: detect the face and auto-crop to a passport-style headshot, cut out the background and drop in a solid ID-blue, white, transparent, or custom color, and clean up a scanned or captured signature so only the ink shows, not the paper. Fine-tune any of it by hand afterward, or let it run automatically across an entire bulk-generation batch.
- Capture photos & signatures live from a connected camera or webcam
- Automatic face-crop to a passport-style headshot
- Background removal, filled with a solid color or transparency
- Scanned- or captured-signature cleanup, ink only — no paper background
- Applies across a full bulk-generation batch, not just one photo
Printing & export
From canvas to a printed sheet
Export a single card as a PNG, or export a full batch as a print-ready PDF automatically laid out in a grid that fits as many cards as possible per sheet — matched to your exact card size.
- PNG export for single cards
- PDF export with automatic print-grid layout
- Native printer discovery from the desktop app
Templates & marketplace
Start from a template, or build your own catalog
Save any design as a reusable template, export/import it as a portable .idct file to share across a team, or browse the KadiFasta marketplace to buy ready-made designs from other creators.
- Save, load, export & import templates (.idct)
- Portable .idcp project files bundle assets with the design
