Business card maker

The editor opens with a business card template, and the gallery has more layouts: classic left-aligned cards, centered minimal designs, cards with a bold color band, and logo-only back sides. Every element can be changed: 40+ free fonts with weight and letter spacing, solid or gradient colors, shapes and lines, and your logo as an image.

Save your colors, fonts and logo in the brand kit; apply brand colors then recolors any template to match your brand in one click. Smart alignment guides keep the lines of text neatly aligned, which matters a lot on a card this small.

To make a back side, start a second design in the same size, for example with your logo on a brand-color background, or a QR code.

Size	Where it is used
3.5 × 2 in (88.9 × 50.8 mm)	Standard in the US and Canada
85 × 55 mm	Common in much of Europe
55 × 85 mm	Vertical European card
Custom	Any size in inches or millimeters, such as 2 × 3.5 in vertical

The US size fits standard card holders and wallets. Switch sizes and the layout adapts automatically, so you can make both versions from one design.

The PDF is 300 dpi and includes a 3 mm bleed on every side, plus crop marks. Bleed means the background extends past the trim line, so there is no thin white edge if the cutter is slightly off. Many US print shops ask for a 1/8 in bleed, which is 3.175 mm; 3 mm is very close and is accepted by most printers, but check your printer's specs before ordering.

The editor shows the trim line and the safe zone. Keep all text and logos inside the safe zone so nothing gets trimmed. If your printer prefers vector files, export SVG with the fonts embedded.

Screens show colors in RGB, while printers use CMYK, so very bright colors can print a little duller. If color matters, order a small proof batch first.

• Name and job title, or what you do: Interior Designer, Licensed Electrician.
• Phone and email.
• Website or portfolio link.
• Address, only if customers visit you.
• Logo, ideally a transparent PNG.

Keep it to five or six lines. Social media handles belong on the card only if clients actually reach you there. An email address on your own domain looks more professional than a free one. To let people save your details with their phone camera, add a contact QR code made with the business card QR code tool on the back.

• One strong element: a bold name, a large logo or a color band. Not all three.
• Two fonts at most: a strong one for your name and a plain, readable one for the details.
• Align on one edge. Left-aligned text looks organized; centered works for very short cards.
• Use the back. Put the logo, a tagline or a QR code there and keep the front clean.
• Leave white space. A crowded card looks cheap; cut details you do not need.
• Match your other materials. Use the same brand colors and fonts as your website, flyers and email signature.
• Vertical cards stand out, but test that your name still fits on one line.

Make two or three variations with duplicate, print them on plain paper at actual size, and cut them out to compare in your hand before ordering.

• Proofread every number and email address, then ask someone else to check.
• Minimum text size: about 7 to 8 pt, and larger for light text on dark backgrounds.
• Contrast: dark text on a light background is the easiest to read.
• Paper: 14 to 16 pt card stock feels substantial; matte is easy to write on, gloss makes colors brighter.
• Home printing: possible on perforated business card sheets, but a print shop gives cleaner cuts and heavier stock.
