Photocard Maker

A standard K-pop style photocard is 55×85 mm (about 2.17×3.35 in). For a print shop, add a 2 mm bleed on every side for a 59×89 mm file, which is 697×1051 px at 300 dpi, and keep faces and text 2 mm inside the edge (51×81 mm) so trimming never cuts them. Add your photos and this tool lays them out at exactly that size, 9 per A4 sheet (8 per US Letter) with cut lines, and saves print-shop PNGs with bleed. Your photos are drawn in this browser and never uploaded.

Trim size is the finished card; file size is what you upload to a print shop. Trimming can drift by 1 to 2 mm, so the photo runs all the way into the 2 mm bleed while faces and text stay inside the safe area. A 55×85 mm card trimmed at 300 dpi is 650×1004 px. Shops differ slightly, so check your printer's own file guide before you order.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Tap "Add photos" and pick as many as you like. For each card, drag to move the photo and slide to zoom until the face sits inside the pink dashed safe area.

  2. 2

    Choose the card size (55×85 mm standard, 54×86 mm and more), corner rounding and border, then a back pattern with your own wording (a name, a date, one line).

  3. 3

    For a home printer, hit "Download PDF", print at actual size (100%) and cut along the grey lines. For a print shop, hit "Print-shop PNGs" to get 300 dpi files with a 2 mm bleed.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a photocard?

The most common photocard is 55×85 mm, about 2.17×3.35 inches. Print-shop files add a 2 mm bleed on each side for 59×89 mm, and faces or text should stay inside a 51×81 mm safe area. You can also pick 54×86 mm (credit card size), a slim 50×90 mm or a 63×88 mm trading card.

What is the photocard size in pixels?

At 300 dpi, a 55×85 mm card trims to 650×1004 px, and the 59×89 mm file with a 2 mm bleed is 697×1051 px. A 54×86 mm card is 685×1063 px with bleed. "Print-shop PNGs" saves at exactly these pixel sizes for whichever size you pick, so there is nothing to calculate.

How do I print photocards at home on A4 or Letter?

"Download PDF" lays out 9 standard cards on an A4 sheet (8 on US Letter, turned sideways to fit) with cut lines; other sizes fit 8 to 10, turned whichever way fits more. Set the print scale to "Actual size" or 100%, not "Fit to page", and check the 2-inch ruler at the bottom before cutting. Thick matte or photo paper around 200 gsm (about 80 lb cover) feels closest to a real photocard.

Can I print the back too?

Yes. Turn on "Add a back" and the PDF gets a back page after each front page. The back page is mirrored left to right so it lines up when you flip the sheet on the long edge for double-sided printing. Printers can drift by 1 to 2 mm, so the back pattern runs 2 mm past the cut lines. Try one sheet on plain paper first and hold it up to a light to check the sides line up.

What files should I send to a print shop?

"Print-shop PNGs" saves a ZIP with a front and back PNG for every card at 300 dpi, including the 2 mm bleed (697×1051 px for 55×85 mm). Corners are left square in these files, so choose the rounded-corner option when you order. If your shop asks for another size, set it under "Custom".

How do I keep faces from being cut off?

Trimming can shift by 1 to 2 mm, so keep faces and text at least 2 mm inside the edge. The pink dashed line in the preview is that safe area. Drag the photo and zoom with the slider until the face sits inside it.

How many photos can I add, and can I print copies?

You can add up to 18 photos, and "Copies of each card" repeats every card up to 9 times, up to 36 cards in total. Extra cards flow onto more PDF pages, and with "Fill the empty spots" on, the last page is topped up with more copies in order.

Is it free, and are my photos stored?

It is free and needs no sign-up. Your photos are drawn entirely in this browser and are never uploaded to a server, and reloading the page clears them. Keep cards made from official photos or logos for personal collections and do not sell them.
