Business card maker: type, pick a design, download
Nothing to install, nobody to sign up as, and the file is yours at the end of it.
This is the quick one. Type your name and your numbers, tap one of 46 finished designs, and take away a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI with a 3 mm bleed and crop marks. No account, no watermark, and nothing leaves the browser until you ask for a file.
Your details
Type, and the business card on the right updates as you go. Nothing here is uploaded until you download or publish.
Shown with the 3 mm bleed the printer trims off. 3.5 × 2 in (US and Canada).
10 cards on one US Letter page, 2 across and 5 down, with cut lines, on the Avery-compatible 8371 / 5371 grid.
300 DPI, the front or back you are looking at. Free, no watermark, no sign-up.
Make it a digital business card too — free →Your card on their phone, updating itself, with a QR that never goes out of date.
Pick a design
Every design prints at 300 dots per inch, with the bleed and crop marks a printer asks for. Pick one, then its colours and, where it offers a choice, its lettering.
Made for people in a hurry
Most card tools want an account before they show you anything. This one starts with the form and the card side by side: whatever you type appears on the card as you type it, and the first design is already drawn when the page opens.
The work is the words, so the form asks for them in the order a card reads: who you are, what you do, where you work, and the two or three ways you want to be reached. A card with six numbers on it is harder to use than a card with one.
What you type stays in this browser. It is remembered on this device so tomorrow's visit picks up where you left off, and it is sent nowhere until you press a download.
The four things it can hand you
Same card, four files. Pick by what you are about to do with it.
| File | What it is | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI, a 3 mm bleed, crop marks on the outside | Any print shop. It is the file they ask for by name. | |
| PNG | A flat picture with sharp edges | A post, a chat, a slide, anywhere on a screen. |
| JPEG | The same picture in a smaller file | Email and forms that refuse anything heavier. |
| Sheet | Ten cards laid out on one page with cut lines | Your own printer and card stock from the drawer. |
Three steps, in about a minute
Type
Fill the form on the left. The card beside it redraws on every keystroke, so you are always looking at the real thing.
Tap a design
Open the gallery, tap a layout, then its colours and its lettering. Your words move across untouched.
Download
Choose the PDF for a print shop, a PNG or JPEG for a screen, or the sheet of ten for your own printer.
Where to go from the maker
All free to start, and none of them makes you type your details a second time.

How long does it really take?
About a minute if your details are in your head. The page opens with a card already drawn, so the only unavoidable work is typing your name, your job and one way to reach you.
Do I have to make an account?
No. The maker never asks who you are. An account exists for the card that lives on a link, and that is a different page and a separate decision.
Is there a watermark on the download?
There is not, on any of the four files. Nothing is stamped, nothing is shrunk, and the PDF is the full-resolution one a printer would want.
Can I come back and change it later?
Yes, from the same browser. Your last card is kept on this device, so reopening the page brings it back with the design and the colours you left it in.
Which file does a print shop want?
The PDF. It carries the bleed and the crop marks that tell their cutter where the card ends, which is exactly what they mean when they ask for a print-ready file.
The same tool, under three other names
They are different pages because people search for different words, and each one answers its own.
- Visiting card makerFor readers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Gulf, with the sizes those presses cut to.
- Name card makerFor Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, where a business card is a name card.
- Business card builderFor a card on a link of your own rather than a file: it can be edited after you hand it over.
Start typing
The form is at the top of this page and the first design is already on screen. Nothing is asked of you before the download.
