MTG Card Size: The Exact Dimensions (and How to Print Your Own)
Upload any image, your own artwork, or any card you can dream up, and Snapshot prints it as a real card at the exact MTG card size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
Upload any image — your own artwork, a photo, any design you can imagine — and we print and ship a real, holdable card the next business day. Any card type you want, fully custom.
If you are building custom cards, alters, or playtest copies, getting the dimensions wrong means cards that warp in sleeves, won't shuffle into a deck, or stick out of a binder. The MTG card size is a precise standard, and close enough isn't close enough.
Snapshot prints custom cards at the official 2.5 x 3.5 inch (63 x 88 mm) trading-card size on premium stock. You upload the image, we print and cut to spec, and your cards ship in 2-3 days with a free magnetic display case. Made in the USA.
Here are the exact MTG card dimensions, why they matter, and how to turn any image into a card at that size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact MTG card size?
A standard Magic: The Gathering card measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches, or 63 x 88 mm. This is the same size as a standard poker card and most modern trading cards. Snapshot prints custom cards at these exact dimensions.
Is the MTG card size the same as a poker or standard trading card?
Yes. The 2.5 x 3.5 inch (63 x 88 mm) standard is shared by Magic cards, standard poker cards, and most modern trading-card games. Cards printed at this size fit standard sleeves, binder pages, and deck boxes.
How thick is a standard MTG card?
An official Magic card is roughly 0.012 inches (about 0.3 mm) thick. Snapshot prints on premium card stock chosen to feel substantial and durable while still sleeving and shuffling cleanly with standard cards.
What card stock do you print on?
We print on thick, premium card stock with a clean finish, cut to the exact 2.5 x 3.5 inch trading-card size. The goal is a card that feels like a real card in hand and holds up to handling, sleeving, and display.
Can I upload my own image or artwork?
Yes, that is the whole idea. Upload a photo, your own artwork, an alter, or any card design you can imagine, and we print it as a real card at exact MTG size. There is no fixed template you have to use.
Are custom or proxy cards tournament legal?
No. Custom and proxy cards are great for casual play, playtesting, and Commander pods where the group agrees to allow them, but they are not legal in sanctioned or official tournaments, which require authentic printed cards. Snapshot sells custom printed cards, not official game products.
