🪪 Free Card Maker

Card Maker Guide

A card lives closer to the reader than a poster does. It gets held, pocketed, stuck on fridges. That changes everything: information hierarchy, minimum font sizes, and white space become hard requirements. This free card maker puts the decisions in front of you: size, corner radius, layout. Type your name or greeting and the preview updates instantly. Make it fully custom: change the name, colors, fonts, and corner shape until the card feels right.

Design business cards, greeting cards and invitations with 3 size presets, rounded corners, borders, 8 fonts, and your own uploaded photo. Copy the SVG for the print shop or download a PNG to send digitally. Free, no signup, no watermark.

Pro Tips

Size by where the card lives

Business cards have no single world standard. North America runs on 3.5 by 2 inches. Most of Europe and Asia use 85 by 55 mm. A card bigger than the wallet slot ends up living in a drawer, and a card that doesn't fit the slot is not a card, it's a bookmark. Decide the pocket first: wallet, envelope, phone case. The tool's three presets cover the common cases: landscape 1050 x 600, square 1200 x 1200, portrait 600 x 1050.

One card, one job

A business card has three seconds to answer two questions: who are you, and how do I reach you. Name biggest, job title second, contact line smallest. A card with nine lines of text says nothing. Paul Rand's 1950s IBM business card carried a logo and a name and nothing else, and it still gets taught in design classes. If the reader squints, you have too much text.

Corner radius is the whole vibe

Sharp corners look like the print shop just cut them. Rounded corners look like they came from a brand manual. 8 to 16 px is the friendly zone for business cards; the pill shape belongs on greeting cards and invitations. A border on a light card reads cleaner than a drop shadow, and it survives printing better too. Pick the radius like you'd pick a tone of voice: formal means small radius, casual means generous curves.

The small-canvas font rule

At 600 pixels wide the type sizes get brutal. Body text under 14 px is unreadable once printed. A working ladder for cards: name 28 to 40 px, job title 16 to 20 px, contact details 12 to 14 px. Display fonts get the name only; paragraphs in display type are noise. Two lines of a bold font plus one small date line is a complete design. Three lines of the bold font is a wall shouting.

Print is a different world

The screen preview is only half the truth. Printed cards need 3 mm of bleed and 300 DPI, and the color space is CMYK, not RGB. Screen colors shift on paper, always. Order a proof before you order five hundred. For digital cards sent over chat or email, the PNG is enough; for a print shop, copy the SVG and tell them the final physical size. Bleed and DPI are their job, but you should know they exist.
