Step 2: Select a canvas
In the new popup window, click on “Print”. A business-card-sized canvas is available as a preset. Otherwise, you can manually change the size. A standard business card is 3.5 inches wide by 2 inches tall.
Step 3: Add text
It’s recommended that you include the following information:
- Your full name
- Title
- Phone number
- Website
The text size, font, and colors can be changes on the right-side toolbar.
Step 4: Leave margins
Leaving text too close to the edges of the page present two issues:
- It may make the text look awkward.
- It may be difficult to read.
- The text is at risk of getting cut off when we cut the business cards to size.

From here, you can choose the file format you wish to save your file as. If you’re sending the file to us for print, we prefer .svg files, but you have other formatting options if needed.
