Upload Your Own Design
Updated over 2 weeks ago

Upload your own custom design and let your creativity shine! Whether it's a unique illustration or a custom logo, you can easily incorporate your design into your paper and digital cards. Follow these simple steps to bring your vision to life.

Getting Started

Upload Your Own Design comes in two formats, Portrait and Landscape. Choose the orientation that best matches your custom design:

Upload Your Own Design is available for both paper and digital cards, making it easy to mix and match delivery methods. View the card gallery here.

Once you enter the card editor, click the card preview to activate the toolbar. Then click the Photo upload button to add your design. Use the photo zoom slider in the toolbar to make sure everything's positioned just right.

Image Specifications

Our card dimensions are 5x7 inches for Portrait and 7x5 inches for Landscape for both paper and digital. Images uploaded in those dimensions should require no further adjustments.

Make sure to include all of the text in your uploaded image, as it will not be editable after upload. You will need to upload a new edited image to make any changes.

Paper Cards

When printing a custom image, there are a few things to note:

  • The print bleed is 1/8" on each side, meaning all text and important content should stay within a 1/8" margin of the original 5"x7" dimensions.

  • The minimum resolution is 788×1088.

  • And the optimal resolution is 1575×2175.

Digital Cards

Digital cards are more forgiving of asset resolution, but we still recommend uploading a high fidelity version for clarity and crispness on screen.

If you would like to include a clickable link on the Upload Your Own back of card, we suggest using the "Photo Full" back of card layout. It will allow you to upload the back of card design, while maintaining a clickable link that you can edit and move around the card to the correct position.


​We hope this guide has helped you successfully upload your custom design to your cards.
