What this card maker actually does
You type your name, job title, company, and contact details into the form. The card on the right redraws itself the moment you stop typing. Pick one of six color presets, choose a layout, and when it looks right, hit download. You get a clean PNG sized for print.
That’s the whole loop. No template marketplace to scroll through, no account, no watermark slapped across the corner. Everything happens on a canvas in your browser, so the data you enter never leaves your machine.
Picking from the presets
Six styles ship with the tool. Midnight is a deep navy with an indigo accent. Indigo flips that into a bright purple card with a gold highlight. There’s a charcoal mono look, a mint green, a crimson, and a light Paper option for folks who want dark ink on a near-white background.
Layouts change where things sit. Left rail puts a thin accent bar down the side and stacks your name, title, and company against it. Centered is symmetrical, with the initials badge on top and a small underline under the company. Split carves the card into two panels and drops your contact lines into the right column. Toggle the initials badge off if you’d rather keep it minimal.
How to make one
- Fill in the fields. Name and title are the two that matter most, so they get full-width inputs.
- Add your phone, email, and website. Leave any of them blank and the card just skips that line.
- Choose a style preset and a layout. Watch the preview shift with each click.
- Decide whether you want the round initials badge showing.
- Click Download PNG and you’re done.
The file comes out at 1050 by 600 pixels. That’s a standard 3.5 by 2 inch card at 300 DPI, which is the resolution most print shops ask for.
A few things worth knowing
Print shops trim cards slightly, so don’t push text right up to the edge. The tool already keeps a margin, but if you’re sending this to a professional printer, ask whether they want bleed added. For digital use, like attaching to an email or dropping into a Notion page, the PNG works as-is.
Long emails and website URLs can get tight on the card. If yours runs long, drop the “https://” and “www” prefixes. Nobody needs them on a card, and they eat space fast.
The initials come from the first and last word of your name. Type “Maria Gonzalez Ruiz” and you’ll get MR, since it grabs the first and last token. Single-word names just use the first letter.
Common questions
Is the downloaded card good enough to actually print?
Yep. It exports at 300 DPI, which is the industry baseline for sharp print. Hand the PNG to any online printer like Vistaprint or Moo and it’ll come out clean.
Can I add my own logo?
Not in this version. Right now it builds the card from text plus a generated initials badge. If you need a logo, design the card here, then drop the PNG into an image editor and layer your logo on top.
Does my contact info get uploaded anywhere?
No. The card is drawn on an HTML canvas inside your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, so the email and phone number stay on your device.
What size is the card exactly?
The preview matches a 3.5 by 2 inch card, the standard size across the US and most of Europe. The PNG ships at 1050 by 600 pixels to hit 300 DPI.
Why is one of my contact lines missing?
Empty fields get skipped on purpose. If the company line or website vanished, check that the field actually has text in it.
