Playing Card Dimensions, Explained (and How to Print Your Own)

Standard poker-size playing cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches, which is 63.5 x 88.9 millimeters. This is the size used by most casinos, most retail decks, and the cards you'll find at almost any store. Bridge-size cards are slightly narrower at 2.25 x 3.5 inches (57 x 88.9 millimeters), with the same height but a thinner width that makes a large hand easier to hold in a fan. When we print a custom deck, you choose between these two standard sizes and we cut every card to that exact dimension, including the standard rounded corners, so it matches a store-bought pack.

The only difference is width. Poker cards are 2.5 inches wide; bridge cards are 2.25 inches wide. Both are 3.5 inches tall. That quarter-inch matters when you hold a lot of cards at once: bridge players fan up to 13 cards in one hand, so the narrower bridge size keeps the hand compact and readable. Poker and most casual games use the wider poker size because it's easier to handle a few cards and the larger face shows artwork better. If you're printing a custom deck and unsure, poker size is the safe default since it's what most people expect a deck to feel like.

Casinos use poker-size cards: 2.5 x 3.5 inches (63.5 x 88.9 mm). This is the standard for Texas Hold'em, blackjack, and most table games. Some casinos use cards with jumbo or large indices — the rank and suit symbols in the corners are bigger for visibility — but the overall card size stays at standard poker dimensions. When you design a custom deck with us at poker size, you're working with the same footprint a casino deck uses, so your cards handle and deal the same way at the table.

Yes — that's exactly what Snapshot does. Upload any image: a photo, your own artwork, a logo, a sketch, or a full set of card designs. Pick poker (2.5 x 3.5 in) or bridge (2.25 x 3.5 in) size, and we print your images as real cards cut to that exact dimension on premium 350gsm stock. You can do a single custom card, a themed set, or a complete 54-card deck where every face and back is yours. We handle the layout, safe-cut margins, and corner rounding so your image sits correctly within the standard size before anything prints.

We print on premium 350gsm casino-grade card stock. It's thick enough to have real snap and durability — cards shuffle, fan, and bridge the way a quality deck should, rather than feeling like thin novelty prints. The finish keeps your uploaded colors looking close to what you designed, and the standard rounded corners and cut-to-size dimensions match what you'd expect from a store-bought deck. Every order also ships in a free magnetic display case to protect the cards in transit and on the shelf.

Orders ship within 2-3 days. Your cards are printed and packed in the USA, then sent out with a free magnetic display case included. Because design is free and happens entirely before you order, there's no back-and-forth proofing delay — you upload your image, confirm the size and layout you see on screen, place the order, and your real printed cards are on the way within a couple of days. What arrives is a finished deck or card at true playing card dimensions, ready to use, gift, or display.
