ID-ALL Standard Edition

ID-ALL Standard Edition — ID Card Software with Databases & Encoding (Windows & Mac)

ID-ALL Standard Edition is the database-and-encoding step up in the Evolis ID-ALL card creation software family, designed by CARDPRESSO. Built for Windows and macOS and available in 30 languages, the Standard edition is ideal for organizations that print ID cards and badges in volume and want to pull names, photos, and details straight from a spreadsheet. It adds batch printing, magnetic and barcode encoding, and full database connectivity on top of the design tools in the Starter edition.

Who ID-ALL Standard is for

Choose the Standard edition if you regularly issue cards from a list — schools, growing businesses, gyms, membership programs, and event teams — and need to print in batches, add barcodes or QR codes, and encode magnetic stripe cards. It is the sweet spot for everyday card production that does not yet require smart-card or biometric security.

Everything in Starter, plus:

• All card formats (not just CR80) for badges, tags, and credentials of every size.
• Advanced image editor — colour adjustment, rotation, and symmetry.
• Batch printing to run an entire database of cards in one job.
• Conditional printing to print only the records or fields you choose.
• Unrestricted internal database for managing your records without limits.
• Connect to MS Excel, CSV, and TXT files to populate cards automatically.
• Unrestricted 1D barcode generation plus 2D barcodes and QR codes.
• Magnetic stripe encoding for access and loyalty cards.

Core ID-ALL features included

Standard keeps all the essentials: the text and image editor, dynamic fields (date, time, counter), the template and visual library, double-sided personalization, automatic double-sided printing, digital card copies, and easy USB/Ethernet printer connection.
