What Makes This Tool Special

A4 & US Letter

Choose between A4 (210 x 297mm) and US Letter (8.5 x 11in) paper sizes. The layout automatically recalculates card positions and grid density for each format.

Auto Grid Arrangement

Cards are automatically placed in an optimal grid with consistent margins and spacing. No manual dragging or positioning needed. The tool fits as many cards as possible per page.

Cut Lines & Bleed

Toggle red dashed cut lines and gray bleed areas on or off. Cut lines show exactly where to trim. Bleed areas extend artwork slightly past the cut line for professional results.

300 DPI Export

Download your layout as a PNG at 300 DPI, the standard for print-quality output. Each card is rendered at exactly 2.5 x 3.5 inches (750 x 1050 pixels) for crisp printing.

Drag & Drop Upload

Upload card images by dragging and dropping or browsing files. Supports PNG, JPG, and WebP. Add more cards anytime and the layout regenerates automatically.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What paper size should I use?
Use A4 if you're in Europe, Asia, or most of the world. Use US Letter if you're in the United States or Canada. The tool shows a preview of how cards fit on each size before you download.
How many cards fit on one page?
Typically 6-9 cards per page depending on paper size and whether bleed areas are enabled. A4 fits slightly more than US Letter due to its taller aspect ratio. The tool auto-calculates the optimal grid.
What are cut lines and bleed areas?
Cut lines (red dashed borders) show exactly where to cut each card. Bleed areas extend the image 2mm past the cut line so that minor cutting errors don't leave white edges. Both are optional and can be toggled off.
Can I print these on a regular printer?
Yes. Download the PNG and print at 'Actual Size' or 100% scale (not 'Fit to Page') on cardstock (110 lb / 300 gsm recommended). Regular paper works but feels flimsy. Use a paper trimmer for clean straight cuts along the red lines.
What DPI should I print at?
The export is already at 300 DPI, which is the standard for print quality. Just make sure your printer settings match: set print quality to 'Best' or 'High' and disable any automatic scaling or resizing options.
