Free Business Card Generator (+ Guide)

What is a business card generator?

A business card generator lays out your name, title and contact details on a card, sized and set up for printing.

This one draws the card at 300 dpi, the resolution print shops ask for, and puts a QR code on the back from my QR code generator.

What to put on a business card

Less is more: a card with your name, what you do and 2 ways to reach you reads better than one with 6 lines of details.

Business card sizes

The bleed is background that runs past the cut, so the card has no white edge if the cut moves a little.

Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside the cut, in the safe area. The generator does both for you.

Print at a shop or at home

For the best result, send the print PDF to a print shop and ask for heavy card stock, 14 to 16 pt (350 to 400 gsm).

To print at home, use the home sheet: 10 cards on one page with cut marks. Print the back page on the other side, then cut along the marks.

Who is the business card generator for?

The business card generator is for anyone who hands out their details in person, and it works well with my other tools:

• QR code generator – for a QR code on its own, for a flyer, a menu or a sign
• Email signature generator – for the same details at the end of every email
• Link in bio generator – for one page with all your links, to put on the card
• Media kit generator – for a page journalists and hosts can use

Your card stays in your browser. Your logo is never uploaded.
