Design the card once
A card is a set of text and image boxes. You place them once and every card in the set shares that layout; what changes from card to card is the text and the pictures. Edit right on the card, and see it exactly as it will print.
What you can do with it
Designing
- Place boxes in millimetres
- Drag, resize and rotate text and image boxes, or type exact positions. They snap to each other as you go.
- See the cut before you print
- Every card shows its bleed and its safe area, so art reaches the edge and text stays clear of the blade.
- Set the type
- Any Google Font, with bold, italic, colour and alignment, and small icons inline with the words.
- Both sides
- A two-sided set has a front and a back for every card.
- Your own artwork
- Upload images once and use them on any card in the project.
Filling in the deck
- Work in a spreadsheet
- Export the cards to CSV — a row per card, a column per box — edit them anywhere, and import them back.
- Choose how many of each
- Give a card a count, and that many copies go into the print.
- Let an AI assistant help
- Connect Claude or another assistant to fill in cards, rework their text, draw icons and bring in artwork. How to connect one.
