MTG Proxies, Printed From Any Image You Upload
Upload any image - a photo, your own artwork, alternate art you found, or any card you can imagine - and we print it as a real, premium MTG proxy. Not a screenshot, not a PDF: a thick, full-color card shipped to your door.
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.
Home-printer proxies look like home-printer proxies. Flimsy paper, washed-out ink, edges that fray, and a thickness that screams 'fake' the moment it hits the table. Most online proxy sites only let you reprint cards already in their database, so you can never use your own art or build something that doesn't exist yet.
Snapshot prints proxies on premium card stock from any image you give us, with rich full-bleed color and clean-cut edges. Want a Commander staple in alternate art? A token with your playgroup's inside joke? A full-art basic you designed yourself? Upload it and we make it. Every order ships with a free magnetic display case and is printed in the USA.
Here's how it works, start to finish.
Written from hands-on experience printing custom proxies and full-art cards on premium stock for casual and Commander players
Free to design, instant preview. Ships the next business day.
From Image to Printed Proxy in Three Steps
No design software, no proxy database to dig through. If you can upload an image, you can make the exact card you want.
Upload Any Image
Drop in any image you want on the card: a photo, your own artwork, alternate or full-art you tracked down, or a screenshot of a card you'd love to play. Any picture you can upload becomes the front of a proxy - there's no fixed catalog limiting you to cards someone else already added.
Choose Your Card and Customize
Pick standard playing-card size for tabletop use, add card text or a name, and pick your finish. Want full-art with no border, or a matching back? Set it up in the builder and preview it before you ever pay.
We Print and Ship in 2-3 Days
Your proxies are printed on premium stock, cut clean, and packed with a free magnetic case. Made in the USA and shipped in 2-3 business days, so your deck is table-ready fast. Order one card or a full playset.
Design is always free. You only pay when you love the preview and place your order.
Why Players Choose Snapshot for MTG Proxies
Proxies are only worth printing if they look and feel like the real thing at the table. Here's what you get with every order.
Premium Card Stock, Not Paper
We print on thick, durable card stock with a smooth finish that shuffles and sleeves like a genuine card - not the thin, curling paper you get from a home printer. Rich, full-bleed color edge to edge.
Upload Anything, Print Any Card
This is the difference. You're not limited to a database of existing cards. Upload your own art, a photo, alternate art, or a card concept that doesn't exist yet - if you can put it in an image, we can print it as a proxy.
Fast Shipping and a Free Case
Orders ship in 2-3 business days, printed in the USA. Every order includes a free magnetic display case to protect your favorite card - perfect for a Commander signature or a one-of-a-kind alter.
Single Cards or Bulk Playsets
Print one card or a whole deck. Per-card pricing drops as your order grows, so building a full proxy Commander deck or a stack of tokens stays affordable.

Built for Kitchen-Table and Commander Players
Proxies let you play the cards you want without spending hundreds on singles. Here's where Snapshot proxies shine.
Commander and EDH Decks
Build the 100-card deck you actually want to play. Proxy the expensive staples, dual lands, and reserved-list cards so your playgroup games stay fun and your wallet stays intact - all on stock that feels right in the deck.
Playtesting and Brewing
Testing a new build before you commit to buying real singles? Print accurate proxies to playtest the list at full speed, then swap in the cards that earn their slot. Far better than scribbling on basics.
Custom Art and Alters
Give your signature commander a full-art treatment, print a token with your own illustration, or make a card concept that's never existed. Upload the image, customize the layout, and get a one-of-a-kind playable card.
Made for the Table, Trusted by Players
Casual and Commander players use Snapshot to bring decks to life without the price tag of chase singles. The repeat feedback is consistent: the stock feels like a real card in the deck, the full-art prints come out sharp, and being able to upload custom art - instead of picking from a fixed list - is what brings people back to build their next deck.
Simple Pricing, Free Design
Designing your proxy is completely free - you build it, preview it, and only pay when you place the order.
Every order is a real, printed card on premium stock, shipped in 2-3 business days with a free magnetic case included. Per-card pricing gets lower as you add more cards, so a single alter and a full Commander playset both make sense.
Compared to chasing reserved-list singles or expensive alternate-art printings, premium proxies let you play the deck you want for a fraction of the cost - and you keep your originals safe at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are MTG proxies legal?
For casual play - kitchen-table games, playtesting, and most Commander and EDH pods - proxies are widely accepted, and many playgroups encourage them. They are NOT legal for sanctioned tournament play (anything DCI-sanctioned or official competitive events), where only authentic cards are allowed. Snapshot proxies are made for casual and playtest use, not for passing off as genuine cards or for sanctioned tournaments.
What card stock do you print on?
We print on thick, premium card stock with a smooth finish - durable enough to shuffle and sleeve like a real card, not the thin paper a home printer produces. Color is full-bleed and sharp edge to edge, and the cards are cut clean with no rough borders.
Can I upload my own art or any card image?
Yes - that's the whole point. Upload any image you want: your own artwork, a photo, alternate or full-art you found, or a card concept that doesn't exist yet. You're not limited to a catalog of existing cards. If you can put it in an image, we can print it as a proxy.
What size are the proxy cards?
We print at standard playing-card size (2.5 x 3.5 inches), the same dimensions as a normal Magic card, so they fit standard sleeves and shuffle into your deck without standing out.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are printed in the USA and ship in 2-3 business days. You can order a single card or a full playset, and every order includes a free magnetic display case.
Can I order a full Commander deck or just one card?
Both. Print a single alter or a complete proxy deck - there's no minimum. Per-card pricing drops as your order size grows, so building out a full 100-card Commander deck or a stack of tokens stays affordable.
Free to design, instant preview. Ships the next business day.
Print the MTG Proxies You Actually Want to Play
Upload any image - your own art, a photo, alternate art, or a card you've only imagined - and turn it into a premium printed proxy. Design is free, every order ships in 2-3 days with a free case, and it's all made in the USA.
