Business cards in the United States
The 3.5 by 2 inch card, free to design, and a digital one on your own link.
In the United States a business card is 3.5 by 2 inches. Design one here free with no account, print ten on a US Letter page at home or take the print-ready PDF to a printer, and keep a digital business card on your own link.
What you get in the United States
Almost every American printer works to 3.5 by 2 inches, and the maker draws at that size by default, so nothing is scaled between the screen and the press.
The print-at-home sheet is laid out for US Letter with cut lines around each card, which suits a home or office printer and a pack of card stock from any office supply shop.
The maker, the templates and the print-ready downloads are free in the United States as they are everywhere else. No account is asked for, nothing is stamped across the file, and the design is drawn at 3.5 × 2 in (88.9 × 50.8 mm) so a printer has nothing to scale.
The digital business card is the other half of it. It lives on your own link, shows a QR code that opens it, saves into a phone in one tap, and changes the moment you edit it, so a card you handed over in the United States last year still carries the number you use today.

Questions from the United States
What size is a US business card?
3.5 by 2 inches, which is 88.9 by 50.8 mm. That is the maker's default here, and the other three sizes are one tap away if you are printing abroad.
Can I print them on Avery-style sheets?
The print-at-home download lays ten cards on one US Letter page with cut lines, sized to the standard 3.5 by 2 inch grid, so perforated card stock lines up with it.
Is a business card the same as a visiting card?
Yes. They are two words for one thing, and the word changes with the country rather than the card. This page uses the word used in the United States.
Does the person I give it to need an app?
No. No app, no download and no account on their side. The link or the QR code opens in the browser their phone already has, and your details save to their contacts in seconds.
