Recipe Card Templates
Eighteen free printable recipe card themes across all four common sizes — 3×5, 4×6, 5×7, and 5×8 — plus a builder that types the recipe for you and adds a photo of the dish. Print the PDFs blank and write by hand, or build a finished card in your browser. Either way, print on heavy stock for cards that hold up in the kitchen.
In-browser recipe card builders.
Pick the general-purpose builder for everyday recipes — 14 designer themes across all four sizes, with a live preview. Or hop into the holiday set when you want a card that matches the season.
Pre-designed PDF templates.
One thumbnail per theme — open the PDF, type or write your recipe in, and print. Pick the size you need from the pills below each card.
Editable in Word, Google Docs, or a fillable PDF.
Every design on this page is a printable PDF. Eight of them are also real Word files and Google Docs with the art behind an editable recipe table — and ten classic themes are fillable PDFs you type into.
The originals.
The first three themes — Roses, Vegetables, Fruit. Long-running favorites in 3×5 and 4×6.
Type or write — your choice.
- Open the PDF in any PDF viewer (browser, Preview, Acrobat).
- Type directly into the Recipe For, Servings, and Ingredients & Directions form fields — every template is fillable. Saving a filled copy works in Acrobat or with “Print to PDF.”
- Print on heavy stock — local paper stores carry “specialty board” that makes very durable cards. Set your printer to actual size (no scaling). Or print it blank and write the recipe in by hand.
