How it works

From blank badge to printed sheet in three steps

  1. Make the design yours

    Choose a template for your event or team, add your logo and adjust the fonts, colors and layout to match your organization.

  2. Fill every badge from your list

    Paste your guest list or import up to 500 people from a CSV, with separate badge colors for roles such as Speaker, Staff and Attendee.

  3. Download a sheet ready to print

    Check each badge in preview, download the PDF for your chosen sheet layout and print at 100% scale after checking alignment on plain paper.

Groups and spreadsheets

One design, a different color for every role

Paste names or import a CSV from Excel or Google Sheets. Add a Group column, and Speakers, Staff and Attendees each print in their own color from a single layout.

  • Match spreadsheet columns to name, title, company and group
  • Long names shrink to fit instead of running off the badge
  • Step through every badge in preview before you print

Questions about the free badge maker

Is BadgesGenerator.com really free?

Every template, the full editor, CSV import and PDF or PNG downloads are free for up to 500 people, with no account or payment details needed. Your downloads have no watermark or added credit line, so you can print them exactly as you designed them.

Are my names and logos uploaded to a server?

Your names, spreadsheets, photos and logos are processed on your device without being uploaded, and your design autosaves in this browser. Export a design file to keep an editable backup, because browser storage cannot recover a design after you clear it or move to another device.

Which badge sizes and sheets does the maker support?

Choose Avery 5395 adhesive badges, Avery 74459 inserts, generic 4 x 3 or 3 x 4 inserts, compact badges, CR80 cards or 4 x 6 credentials, with additional layouts for small staff tags and business cards. Match the layout to your actual stock or holder dimensions, then check the alignment test on plain paper before printing.

Can I make badges from an Excel or Google Sheets list?

Save your Excel or Google Sheets list as CSV, open it in the People panel and match columns such as name, title, company and group. You can import up to 500 people from a file of up to 2 MB without providing an email address.

How do I give Speakers, Staff and Attendees different colors?

Add a Group column with values such as Speaker, Staff and Attendee to give each role its own accent color. You can choose custom colors and labels for three groups, while any additional roles receive automatic colors.

What happens when a name is too long for the badge?

Enable auto-fit on the name text to reduce its size when a longer name needs more room, while shorter names keep the size you chose. Preview your longest names and company names before printing, then widen the text box or shorten an entry if it becomes difficult to read.

Can I design name badges on my phone?

You can browse templates and preview badges on a phone, while a tablet or computer gives you more room to edit text, position a logo and import a list. Print the exported PDF from a computer where you can select 100% scale and check the paper settings.
