About This Software

Card Builder is a card design studio for board game designers, trading card game creators and game developers.

Design a card your way, generate a deck from spreadsheet data, then export it for printing or your game. Create RPG spell cards, monsters, loot and complete trading card decks.

Your projects stay on your own drive. No account or subscription required.

Make it yours

• Card editor: Move text, artwork and shapes wherever you want. Organize layers into groups, snap and align elements, and lock or hide them as you work.

• 31 built-in templates: Start with fantasy, sci-fi, trading card, party or minimal designs. Change any element and save your own templates.

• Artwork included: Prototype with licensed fantasy heroes, monsters, backgrounds, treasure and decorative frames, plus an icon library. Import your own images and fonts whenever you need them.

• Smart text: Curve titles along an arc and automatically shrink long rules text to fit. Add outlines, shadows, glow, gradients and 3D lettering.

• Frames that resize properly: Make decorative borders wider or taller while keeping their corners intact. Stretch the edges without distorting the whole frame.

Build the whole deck

• Spreadsheet to cards: Match CSV columns to text and image fields in your design. Generate one card per row, then edit names, stats and rules in a table.

• Multiple languages: Keep language versions of your card text together. Switch languages to check the layout and exchange translations through CSV.

Print it. Put it in your game.

• Print and play: Preview your sheets, set paper size, bleed and cut marks, then export a print-ready PDF. Choose card dimensions, copy counts and output DPI.

• Export for your game: Pack cards into sprite atlases with JSON containing their positions and field data. Export Tabletop Simulator deck sheets or individual PNG, JPEG and WebP images.

Also included: multiple decks per project; shared or individual card backs; 4 preview modes; 30+ SVG library shapes, 9 shape tools and a custom pen; 8 filters and 12 blend modes; measurement tools; undo history; and project folders you can copy or back up.
