Logo image
The image printed at the top of the badge. If no logo is selected, the app uses the Z-Co Badge Maker icon.

Badge background
Optional artwork printed behind the badge contents. Use Transparency to make it lighter or hide it. Use Size to shrink or enlarge it on the card. These controls are also available on the main screen below Badge Text Tools.

Layout
The WYSIWYG layout editor is a Pro feature. It lets you drag the logo, each license/info line, photo, officer name, and title on a badge preview.
Drag a block to move it. Drag the small lower-right square to resize it. Each license/info line can be moved separately. Click Save Layout to use that placement for previews and PDFs.
To align blocks, check two or more items in the editor and click L, C, or R. The first block you check is used as the guide.
To make tiny placement changes, use the arrow keys to nudge checked blocks by 1 pixel. Hold Shift while pressing an arrow key to move faster.

License / Info
Each line prints in the badge information area. These everyday text tools are on the main screen beside the live preview so changes can be seen immediately. Each line can be bolded separately and aligned Left, Center, or Right separately.

Officer Name
Controls the printed officer name style. The actual name and name style controls are on the main screen beside the preview.

Title
Controls the bottom title, such as SECURITY OFFICER. The wording, size, bold setting, and alignment can be changed from the main screen.

Batch printing
Add badges to the batch, then create a 9-up PDF sheet. The sheet uses cut borders around each badge.
Batch printing is a Pro feature.
