Pick a template, drop in your name, title, company, phone, email and website, then customise colors, fonts and logo. The editor exports a print-ready PDF or high-resolution PNG that you can hand to any printer, upload to Vistaprint or share digitally on LinkedIn.
usageThe default card is the standard 3.5 × 2 inch US business card with a 0.125 inch bleed and a safe text area, ready for any commercial printer. European 85 × 55 mm and Japanese 91 × 55 mm presets are also available, each with the correct bleed for that region.
technicalYes. Upload a PNG, SVG or JPEG logo, generate a QR code linking to your website, vCard or LinkedIn profile, and add Instagram, X and TikTok handles in one click. Each element snaps to the safe area so nothing gets clipped during cutting.
featuresChoose 300 DPI print-ready PDF (CMYK) for commercial printers, PNG or JPEG at 300 DPI for at-home laser printers, and a 1080 × 1080 PNG for sharing on Instagram or attaching to email signatures. All formats are exported from the same source so the design stays consistent.
featuresYes. Browse minimalist black-and-white layouts, two-sided modern cards, creative agency layouts, real-estate templates and gradient designs popular with startups. Filter by industry — tech, law, healthcare, real estate, freelance — to start from the right baseline.
creativeYes. There is no watermark on the downloaded card and a free account is required to download for the basic editor, and you can design as many cards as you like in the browser. Exporting is rendered on our servers, so free downloads share a daily allowance and Premium removes the cap. Iterate freely until the layout matches your brand.
privacyThe maker lays your card out 10-up on an A4 sheet and exports a print-ready vector PDF, so a single page gives you ten identical cards to cut, ready for a home printer or a local print shop.
technicalYes. Pick from six ready-made color themes or set your own custom background, text and accent colors so the card fits your brand palette.
featuresThere are three layouts: Left bar puts your name and title at the top with a thin accent stripe along the bottom edge, Centered stacks everything symmetrically in the middle of the card, and Color split fills roughly 40 percent of the card with a solid accent panel next to your details. The live preview updates instantly as you click between them.
featuresFor a minimalist personal card, pair the Centered layout with the Slate theme's near-black text on a light background for a quiet, editorial feel. For a bolder corporate card, use the Color split layout with a custom Accent color matched to your brand and a plain white Background so the colored panel does the visual work.
tipsYes — there's a dedicated Address field alongside the other contact details (name, title, company, email, phone, website). Fill it in for real-estate agents, retail shops, law offices or any business where a street address matters, and it renders in the same contact block on the card. Leave it blank and the card simply skips that line — none of the three layouts require it.
featuresDesign your card in one of the three layouts, set your colors, and download the free 10-up PDF — ten identical 85×55mm cards arranged on one A4 sheet. Print it on heavyweight A4 cardstock with a home inkjet or laser printer and cut along the card edges, and you have a stack of free printable business cards without ordering a box.
usageYes — designing and downloading the print-ready PDF is completely free, so the only cost is printing. Because each A4 sheet carries ten cards, a pack of cardstock on your own printer or a per-sheet job at a local copy shop yields cheap business cards at a fraction of typical per-box pricing, and the vector text stays crisp at any size.
