  2. Click the sample recipe and type over it: name, servings and times, ingredients on the left, directions on the right.
  3. 4×6 Doc: File → Print, set paper size to 4×6 (or File → Download → PDF and print the PDF at Actual Size on an index card). Letter Doc: print on cardstock and cut across the middle.
  4. Rename the copy with the recipe name — Drive becomes a searchable recipe box, and you can share a card with one link.

Common questions

Google Docs recipe card FAQ

Is there a recipe card template in Google Docs?
Google's own template gallery has no recipe card. The eight Docs on this page are real Google Docs — a 4×6 page with an art frame behind an editable recipe table — and one click copies any of them into your Drive.
How do I make a recipe card in Google Docs?
Copy one of these rather than starting blank: the page is already 4×6, the margins clear the art, and the two-column ingredients/directions table is in place. Building your own from scratch means File → Page setup → Custom (6 × 4 in), then Insert → Table.
How do I print a 4×6 card from Google Docs?
File → Print, then set the paper size in your printer dialog to 4×6 (index card or postcard) and scale to 100%. If your printer dialog won't take a custom size, download as PDF and print the PDF at Actual Size — or use the two-per-letter-sheet Doc on regular paper.
Can I share a recipe card as a link?
Yes — that's the reason to keep them in Docs. Share your copy view-only and anyone can read or print it; share with edit rights and a family member can add their notes.
Do I need a Google account?
Only to make the copy — the card has to land in a Drive. Nothing is required from us: no signup, no email, no watermark.
Can I get these as Word files instead?
Yes — every card has a Download Word button for the .docx, or in your Doc copy use File → Download → Microsoft Word.
