Consulting
Restraint reads as confidence: one serif, one color, generous margins. The card equivalent of a firm handshake.
AI business card generator
AI Business Card Generator for cards people keep
Tell it your name, what you do, and the feel you're after. Genspark designs your card as editable layers — front and back — then exports files sized for real printing. A free online business card maker that works from a conversation, not a form.
Start from a profession:
Free to start No credit card US & EU print sizes Editable layered design
A design, not a picture
Your name is text, not pixels
Most AI card tools hand you a flat image: if the phone number is wrong, you regenerate and hope. Genspark builds the card as layers you can open and change — which is what makes it a business card designer rather than an image button.
Every line stays editable
Name, title, phone, email — each is a text element on its own layer. Fix a typo or swap the number without touching the rest of the design.
Click any element to change it
Select the name and try a different typeface. Nudge the logo. Recolor the back. Changes stay exactly where you put them.
Ask for versions in chat
A second color way, a version with your new job title, a back with opening hours — describe the change and the layout holds.
Print truth
See it at actual size — bleed and all
A card that looks great full-screen can fail at 3.5 by 2 inches. Preview it at real size, flip it over, and switch on the print guides most tools never show you.
On most desktop screens this preview is true to size — 3.5 × 2 in, a touch wider than a credit card. Hold one against the screen to check.
- Bleed — 0.125 in (3 mm)
- The design extends past the final card so the cut never leaves a white sliver at the edge. This outer ring gets trimmed away.
- Trim line
- Where the blade actually lands. Cutting drifts by up to a millimeter — that drift is the whole reason bleed and safe zones exist.
- Safe zone
- Keep names, numbers, and the logo inside this box. Text that hugs the trim line is the most common way cards come back clipped.
The back was designed in the same conversation as the front — same logo, same palette, flipped hierarchy. Ask for both sides and they arrive as one design.
How the business card maker works
Say who you are
Name, title, business, contact lines, and the feel — quiet and expensive, warm neighborhood café, sharp and technical. Paste your brand colors if you have them.
It designs the card in layers
Front and back, type hierarchy, logo placement — on a canvas at true print size with bleed, not a square image you crop later.
Edit, then export
Change any line in place, then download a PNG for screens, a layered PSD to keep editing, or a print-ready PDF for your print shop.
One generator, very different cards
The same tool reads 'strategy consultant' and 'barbershop' and lands in different worlds — type, color, spacing. Start from a real example and make it yours.
Café & food
Warm paper tones, a hand-drawn mark, hours on the back. The card doubles as a small piece of the shop itself.
Real estate
Your name is the brand: big confident type, the direct phone line front and center, brokerage details kept quiet.
Photography studio
A full-bleed image front shows the work; the contact block stays inside the safe zone. This is the exact card in the print preview above.
The numbers that matter at print time
Business cards are unforgiving — a few millimeters decide whether the card feels right in the hand. These are the specs the generator designs to, and the ones your print shop will ask about.
| US / Canada standard | 3.5 × 2 in (89 × 51 mm) |
|---|---|
| Europe standard | 85 × 55 mm (3.35 × 2.17 in) |
| Japan standard | 91 × 55 mm |
| Bleed | 0.125 in (3 mm) on every side — a US card file becomes 3.75 × 2.25 in |
| Safe zone | Keep text and logo at least 0.125 in (3 mm) inside the trim line |
| Print resolution | 300 DPI — generate at print size so type stays sharp on paper |
| Files you can export | PNG at native size, layered PSD, print-ready PDF |
Exports are RGB. Most online print services accept RGB PDFs and convert to their own press profile — when in doubt, check your printer's file specs before ordering.
Craft, honestly
What makes a business card bad
Anyone who has printed a few hundred cards learns the same short list. The generator designs around these by default — and once you know them, you'll spot them everywhere.
- More than two typefaces
- One for the name, one for everything else. A third font is where 'designed' starts sliding into 'decorated'.
- Text hugging the edge
- Anything within 3 mm of the trim line risks being clipped when the blade drifts. That's exactly what the safe zone above is for.
- Type below 7 pt
- It looks fine zoomed in on a screen. On paper it's a smudge — especially thin fonts on colored backgrounds.
- Low contrast
- Pale gray on white looks refined on a monitor and disappears under office lighting. Print flattens contrast, so design a notch louder than feels safe.
- Saying everything
- A card is a handshake, not a brochure. Name, one line about what you do, one way to reach you — whitespace does the rest.
Every one of these is a default, not a law. It's your card — override any of them in chat and the design will follow.
Beyond the card
The card is usually the first piece, not the last
The same identity — logo, colors, type — wants to show up on more than 3.5 by 2 inches. Each of these picks up where the card leaves off.
AI Logo Generator
The mark that goes on the card. No logo yet? Make it first — the card design will build around it.
AI Letterhead Maker
The card's bigger sibling: the same identity at letter and A4 size for proposals and invoices.
AI Flyer Maker
For when one card's worth of information isn't enough — openings, promotions, events.
AI Brochure Maker
Tri-folds and product stories, laid out on real paper sizes just like the card.
Business card questions, answered
What is an AI business card generator?
A tool that turns a plain-language description — your name, what you do, the feel you want — into a finished business card design. Some call it a business card creator or maker; the difference with Genspark is that the result is an editable layered design at true print size, front and back, rather than a flat image.
Can I edit the text after the card is generated?
Yes. Name, title, phone, and email are text elements on their own layers, not pixels baked into an image. Click a line to change it, or ask in chat — the rest of the layout stays put.
What size is a standard business card?
3.5 × 2 inches (89 × 51 mm) in the US and Canada, 85 × 55 mm across most of Europe, and 91 × 55 mm in Japan — in India and elsewhere the same format is called a visiting card. Tell the generator which market you print in and it sets up the canvas, bleed included.
How do I make my business card print-ready?
Three things: the right trim size, 0.125 in (3 mm) of bleed on every side, and text kept inside the safe zone — all designed at 300 DPI. The generator sets the canvas up that way from the start, and you export a print-ready PDF when you're done.
Is the AI business card generator free?
It's free to start, with no credit card required. Describe your card, see the full design, and refine it before you export anything.
Can it design the back of the card too?
Yes, in the same conversation. Ask for a front and back and both arrive as one design — shared logo, palette, and type, with the back usually kept quieter: a logo, a tagline, or opening hours.
Can I put my own logo on the card?
Yes — upload it and the design builds around it, picking up your colors. No logo yet? Make one with Genspark's AI logo generator first: a card designed around a real mark always beats a card with a logo squeezed in later.
Can I use the design commercially?
Yes. It's your business card — print it, hand it out, put it in your email footer or portfolio. That's what it's for.
What file formats do I get?
PNG at the card's native size for screens, a layered PSD if you want to keep editing in other software, and a print-ready PDF for the print shop. Exports are RGB — most online printers accept RGB PDFs and convert to their own press profile.
Why does text near the edge get cut off in printing?
Because cards are printed on large sheets and cut down, and the blade drifts — up to about a millimeter either way. Text sitting right at the trim line lands under the blade on a bad cut. That's why designers keep text 3 mm inside the edge and extend backgrounds 3 mm past it; the print-guide preview above shows both zones on a real card.
