    Who made this game?

    Create memory cards

    Pick the pictures and how they pair up, so there are pairs to find. The background becomes the back of every card. They're added as a new card type.

    Front

    Pick as many pictures as you like.

    Back

    Create French cards

    Add your photos to a deck of 52 cards and two jokers. The rank and suit stay in the corners; a card without a photo gets a big suit symbol. They're added as a new card type with a back.

    They fill the empty cards in order, from the selected card on. Drag a card onto another one to swap their photos.

    Front

    Drag the photo to move it. You can also drop a picture on a card.

    Back

    Create trivia cards

    Each card has the question on the front and the answer on the back. They're added as a new card type with backs.

    "\n" stands for a new line, so \n\n means a blank line between cards. Leave it empty to make just one card.

    Create cards with text

    Pick a background and add some text — it's added to this card type as a picture.

    Leave this off to keep the back this card type already has.

    Useful tips (read before first print)

    Page setup (all card types)

    Page margin settingAt least 10 mm is recommended.
    Add cut guide lines out to the page edgeThin lines continue each card border out through the margin, so a ruler or paper cutter stays aligned for a straight cut across the whole sheet — including through the blank border strip.
    Add a Print Your Card Game card (with a QR code) at the endOne small card that points people to this site, printed after your last card. Uncheck it to print only your own cards.

    Useful tips (read before first print)

    Card backs

    Don't print a double-sided batch before testing! It's easy to waste a whole deck's worth of paper on backs that land off-center. then export or print it and check the back: the ruled cross should line up with the front's. If the back is mirrored, pick short-edge binding. If it's shifted to one side, set an offset in the settings.
    Automatic double-sided printer, long-edge bindingMost common — this is the default on nearly all printers. Print as one job with "print on both sides" turned on in your printer's dialog — backs go right after their matching fronts.
    Automatic double-sided printer, short-edge bindingUncommon. Pick this if the test came out mirrored with long-edge binding. The back pictures are turned upside down automatically, so a card shows both faces upright when you turn it over sideways.
    Single-sided printer, flipped like a book (long edge)Print every front first, flip the whole stack over along its long edge — like turning a book page — then feed it back in to print every back.
    Single-sided printer, flipped like a notepad (short edge)Same as above, but flip the stack along its short edge instead — like flipping a notepad or a wall calendar. The back pictures are turned upside down automatically, so a card shows both faces upright when you turn it over sideways.
    Fold and glue (front and back side by side)Prints each card's front next to its back, both printed normally (not mirrored), on the same sheet — no double-sided printing or alignment needed. Cut out each pair along its outer edge, then fold it along the dashed line so the two halves meet back to back, and glue them together for a sturdy, opaque card. Uses roughly twice the paper per card, and the 5 mm back gap doesn't apply.

    Custom page setup for this card type

    By default every card type shares the same page setup. Turn this on to use different settings for just this one.
