Each side as a page in its final size with 3 mm bleed, trim box and cut marks. Photos with up to 300 dpi, texts sharp at 600 dpi.
One card per recipient
Paste a list of addresses or a table from Excel: each card gets its own name and address – ideal for Christmas cards and invitations.

The card and its PDF are made in your browser – on a computer, tablet or smartphone. Nothing is uploaded, and your card is kept in this browser.

Questions and Answers
How do I create a postcard?
Choose a template or a blank card. Double-click a text to write, add photos under "Photos" or drag them onto the card, then click "Create PDF" and choose how you want to print.
How do I print cards on both sides at home?
Choose "Print at home". The fronts are on the odd pages, the backs on the even pages, placed for flipping on the long edge. Print at 100 % ("actual size") with "print on both sides" – thick paper of 200 to 300 g/m² works best.
Can I make a folded card?
Yes. Click the card's format at the top and choose "Folded card": you design the front, the inside as one spread and the back. At home a folded A6 card can be printed on one A4 sheet that you fold twice.
Can I make cards for several recipients?
Yes. Under "Recipients" paste addresses separated by an empty line, or a table copied from Excel. Placeholders like {Name} are filled in on each card, and the address field on the back too.
Is the PDF suitable for a print shop?
Yes. Choose "Print shop": every side is a page with 3 mm bleed, trim box and cut marks. Ask your print shop whether they need CMYK or PDF/X.
Can I take a photo with my phone?
Yes. On a smartphone or tablet, "Take a photo" opens the camera and the photo goes straight onto the card. HEIC photos from the iPhone cannot be used: with Settings > Camera > Formats > "Most Compatible" new photos are saved as JPG.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating cards with PDF24 is free, without registration and without watermarks. Your photos are not uploaded.
