Greeting card sizes overview

Greeting cards are typically designed as folded cards, meaning the full layout must account for both the front and inside panels. Choosing the correct card size ensures the fold aligns properly and the card fits standard envelopes without trimming or scaling.
While custom sizes are possible, standard card dimensions simplify printing and mailing.

A2 card

Recommended vs supported sizes
A2 greeting cards are designed at 1275 × 1650 pixels and are one of the most common folded card sizes.
Best practices for visibility
Plan the layout so the fold runs cleanly through the center. Keep important elements away from the fold line and edges.
Quality and export considerations
Design at final size and export at high resolution to ensure sharp text and clean fold alignment.

A6 card

Recommended vs supported sizes
A6 cards use 1350 × 1875 pixels and provide slightly more space than A2 for text and imagery.
Best practices for visibility
Balance front cover design with interior content. Maintain consistent margins on all panels.
Quality and export considerations
Export at exact dimensions to avoid scaling issues during printing.

A7 card

Recommended vs supported sizes
A7 greeting cards measure 1500 × 2100 pixels and are commonly used for invitations and announcements.
Best practices for visibility
Use clear hierarchy and sufficient spacing, especially if including RSVP details or event information.
Quality and export considerations
Maintain high resolution and avoid resizing after layout is finalized.

Square card

Recommended vs supported sizes
Square greeting cards are designed at 1500 × 1500 pixels using a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Best practices for visibility
Center key visuals and keep text away from edges to maintain symmetry after folding.
Quality and export considerations
Ensure designs are optimized for print clarity, as square cards are often used for special occasions and photo cards.
