1-page PDF · 4 cards per sheet · US Letter

This page builds the standard 2.5″ × 3.5″ size — the trading-card dimensions used by Topps, Bowman, and Pokémon. Prints four identical cards on one US Letter sheet so you can keep one and hand three away. The Classic design is the most printer-friendly of the three — sharp banner colors, no large dark fills.

Lyrical, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, ballet — dance team cards photograph well in costume on stage with the lights behind the dancer. Studio rosters print these for recital programs.

What works on the printer

  • Use a high-quality photo. Mid-pose stage photos with stage lights behind the dancer photograph beautifully. Costume-against-dark-stage gives the cleanest contrast.
  • Cut along the gutter. The four cards are arranged 2×2 on a US Letter sheet with a thin gutter. A paper cutter is faster than scissors; a craft knife and metal ruler give the cleanest edges.
  • Card stock, not printer paper.60–100 lb cardstock holds up in a binder sleeve or a player’s pocket. Printer paper bends inside the first day.
  • Print four cards, keep one. The 4-up sheet is designed for the team-card-swap workflow: print, cut, keep one for yourself, hand three away.
  • Drag and zoom to crop.The photo frame shows exactly what ends up on the card. Center the face in the middle third — that’s the area readers’ eyes land on first.

Common questions

What's the standard trading-card size?
2.5 × 3.5 inches — the size used by Topps, Bowman, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and most baseball / basketball / football trading cards since the 1970s.
How many cards print per sheet?
Four identical cards print on one US Letter (8.5 × 11″) sheet, arranged 2×2 with a thin gutter for cutting.
Do these fit standard binder sleeves?
Yes — 2.5 × 3.5″ is the size every 9-pocket trading-card binder sleeve is built for. The cards slide in just like a Topps or Bowman card.
Do I need an account or login to use this?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser — nothing gets uploaded to a server. You can use it anonymously, no signup, no Adobe Acrobat, no watermark.
What paper should I use?
60–100 lb cardstock for cards you'll handle a lot (binders, pockets). Standard printer paper bends and curls within a day. Glossy photo paper works for keepsake prints if your printer supports it.
Can I edit the PDF after I download it?
The PDF is flat — re-edit by coming back to this page and regenerating with new inputs. Re-uploading the photo and re-typing names is faster than fighting an Acrobat editor.
