Requires iOS 27: Poster Generic passes, featured actions, SF Symbol logos, and the Code 39, Codabar, EAN-13, and ITF barcode formats. Everything else works on iOS 26 and later. Turn anything into an Apple Wallet pass. That loyalty card taking up space in your physical wallet? Digitize it. A membership that only exists as a paper card or PDF? Put it in Wallet. Event tickets, discount codes, personal IDs, travel documents, or anything else you want quick access to? Passmaker handles it all. Creating a pass takes just a few minutes. Pick a style that fits your needs, whether that's a generic pass for everyday cards, a store card for loyalty programs, a coupon for discounts, an event ticket, a boarding pass for travel, or a poster generic pass that puts your own artwork across the whole pass. Add your information, customize the colors and images to match your taste, and tap to add it directly to Apple Wallet. No account needed and no subscription required. Got a barcode you need to keep handy? Scan it with your camera or import it from a photo, and Passmaker builds a pass around it automatically. The app recognizes QR codes, Aztec codes, Code 128, and PDF417, plus Code 39, Codabar, EAN-13, and ITF on iOS 27, so most cards and tickets you encounter will work. Need something more custom? Create your own barcode from scratch by entering the data yourself. Design your passes to look exactly how you want. Choose your own colors for the background, text, and labels. Add a logo image, or pick an SF Symbol instead. Include a strip image that spans across the pass, a thumbnail that sits alongside your information, or artwork that fills a poster pass edge to edge. Every pass you create can have its own unique look. Give your pass something to do. Featured actions add up to two buttons underneath it in Wallet: directions to the venue, a call to the shop, a link to your membership benefits, or wherever else you need to go next. They sit right there whenever the pass is open. Your passes can even appear on your lock screen automatically when you need them. Heading to the gym? Set your gym's location, and your membership pass appears as you arrive. Got concert tickets? Add the date and time, and they show up right before the event starts. It works just like passes from major companies, because it uses the exact same technology. Organize your information across multiple fields. Put the essentials front and center, add supporting details below, and include extra information on the back of the pass for when you need it. Poster passes go further with a footer field and an additional info section that holds longer details just beneath the pass. You control what goes where and how it all looks. Passmaker gives you the power to create real Apple Wallet passes, the same format used by airlines, retailers, and event organizers, without any of the complexity. No developer account, no technical knowledge, no jumping through hoops. Just a simple app that does exactly what you need.
