Business Card Maker
Enter your name, title, company, phone, email, website and social handles, pick a template and colour, and the maker lays out a print-ready business card in the standard dimensions, 85×55mm (European) or 3.5×2 inches (US). Download a PDF with proper bleed, a PNG for digital sharing, or a vCard/QR code so someone can save your contact by snapping a picture.
How to make a business card
-
1
Fill in your details
Name, title, company, phone, email, website, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram: whichever combination you need.
-
2
Choose a template
Minimal, corporate, creative, photographer, dual-sided. Each template is pre-sized for both EU and US card standards.
-
3
Pick colours and upload a logo
Use brand hex codes or pick from a preset palette. Upload a PNG/SVG logo for the front; the tool keeps it at 300 DPI equivalent for print clarity.

Download print-ready files
PDF with 3mm bleed and crop marks for the printer, a PNG for digital, plus an optional QR code linking to your vCard or LinkedIn.
Standard dimensions
| Region | Size | Aspect | Bleed (each side) |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU / international | 85 × 55 mm | 1.545 : 1 | 3 mm |
| US / Canada | 3.5 × 2 in (88.9 × 50.8 mm) | 1.75 : 1 | 3 mm / 0.125 in |
| Oriental (JP) | 91 × 55 mm | 1.65 : 1 | 3 mm |
| Iranian / PRC | 90 × 54 mm | 1.67 : 1 | 3 mm |
Default bleed is 3mm (0.125 in) on each side so the printer can trim without leaving white edges. Keep all text inside the “safe area”, 3mm in from the final trim line.
Things that print well
- Logo: vector (SVG) or 300 DPI raster. Small bitmap logos pixelate at card size.
- Fonts: embed or convert to outlines. Fonts installed only on your device will substitute on the printer’s machine if you forget.
- Colour: the PDF exports CMYK for offset print; RGB only for digital use. Ask your printer which they want.
- Photos: 300 DPI at final size. A 1:1-scale crop from a smartphone is usually fine; screenshots are not.
Design guidance
- Hierarchy: name biggest, title next, contact details smallest.
- White space: don’t cram every corner. A card that’s 40% empty often looks more expensive.
- Back side: a tagline, a QR code, or leave blank. Blank helps when the recipient wants to write notes on it.
- Paper weight: 300-400 gsm feels premium. Below 250 gsm feels flimsy in the wallet.
- Finish: matte is cheaper and writable; soft-touch lamination feels luxe but smudges; spot-UV pops selected elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Match your audience. If you travel to the US regularly, go US (fits US cardholders and Rolodexes). If you’re Europe-based, go EU (fits European wallets). Cross-border contacts generally don’t care as long as the card fits a wallet slot.
You can, but home printers rarely handle 300+ gsm card stock or edge-to-edge bleed. The PDF export is aimed at commercial printers; for home use, skip the bleed and use a lighter stock.
Not required, but a QR linking to your vCard or LinkedIn makes it painless for someone to save your details without typing. A small QR (15-20mm) fits neatly on the back without cluttering the design.
No. The details you enter stay in your browser session and are discarded when you leave. Download the PDF before closing the tab if you want to keep the design.
