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.

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
