Business card maker

Design a business card with your details, a layout and a typeface, and download a print-ready PNG at 300 or 600 DPI in the US or international size, with optional bleed. Free, no watermark.

Leave any field empty and it is left off the card.

Layout

Turn this on only if your printer asked for bleed. The red line is where they trim; keep anything that must survive inside the blue one. Neither line is in the download.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the details you want on the card; empty fields are left off.
  2. Choose the card size: 3.5 × 2 inches (US) or 85 × 55 mm.
  3. Pick a layout, a typeface and the card and text colours.
  4. Turn on bleed if your printer asks for it, then download the PNG.

Why the pixel size matters more than the design

A card is 3.5 × 2 inches in the US and 85 × 55 mm nearly everywhere else, and a printer wants at least 300 pixels per inch. So a US card is 1050 × 600 pixels, and a design that looks perfect on screen at 350 × 200 comes back from the press soft. This tool sizes the export from the physical dimensions and the resolution every time, which is the one thing about it that cannot be fixed after the cards arrive.

Bleed, and why the canvas gets bigger rather than the card smaller

Cards are printed oversized and guillotined down, and the blade lands within about a millimetre of where it should. Bleed is the extra 3 mm of artwork outside the trim line that gets cut off, so a background that is meant to reach the edge still does when the cut is slightly off. Turning it on here makes the sheet 3.75 × 2.25 inches and leaves the card inside it at full size — it never shrinks the card.

The safe area is the opposite inset: keep text and anything that must not be clipped inside the blue line. Both guides are drawn on the preview and neither is in the download.

What to send the printer

The PNG here is flat RGB at the resolution you chose. Most online printers accept exactly that. A commercial press may ask for CMYK, an embedded colour profile or a PDF with crop marks — this tool produces none of those, so ask what they want before you order, and expect strong colours to print a little duller than they look on a backlit screen.

Questions

What size is a business card in pixels?

At 300 DPI, a US card (3.5 × 2 inches) is 1050 × 600 pixels and an 85 × 55 mm card is about 1004 × 650 pixels. At 600 DPI both double.

What is bleed?

Extra artwork, usually 3 mm, outside the cut line, so a background meant to reach the edge still does when the guillotine lands slightly off. With bleed on, the sheet grows and the card inside stays full size.

Is this good enough for a print shop?

Most online printers accept a flat RGB PNG at 300 DPI, which is what you get. A commercial press may ask for CMYK, a colour profile or a PDF with crop marks; this tool does not produce those, so ask first.

Is there a watermark?

No. The download is exactly the card you see, with no mark added.

Why do colours print duller than on screen?

Screens emit light and paper reflects it, and printers use a smaller range of colours than a screen can show. Strong, saturated colours lose the most.
