Print MTG Proxies From Any Image You Upload
Upload any image and we print it as a real card. A photo, your own artwork, an alter you commissioned, a custom Commander you dreamed up, or any card you can imagine. Whatever the image is, Snapshot turns it into a physical 2.5" x 3.5" card on premium stock.
Upload any image — your own artwork, a photo, any design you can imagine — and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days. Any card type you want, fully custom.

Home-printer proxies look like exactly what they are: paper. They warp in sleeves, the colors come out flat, the corners fray, and the borders never line up. For playtesting a deck or filling out a Commander build, that takes you out of the game every time you draw one.
Snapshot prints your MTG proxies on the same premium card stock and standard 2.5" x 3.5" cut as real trading cards, so they shuffle, sleeve, and feel right at the table. You upload the image, we print and ship the actual cards to your door in 2-3 days with a free magnetic case included.
Here is how it works, start to finish.

From Image to Printed Proxy in Three Steps
No software to learn and no design skills required. If you have an image, you have a card.
Upload Any Image
Drop in whatever you want on the card: a photo, your own artwork, a high-res scan, an AI render, or an alter you commissioned. Any image becomes any card type you want. This is the whole point of Snapshot. You are not limited to a template or a catalog. If you can picture the card, you can upload the art and we will print it.
Lay Out Your Card
Position your art, add a name, a frame, or text, and preview the full 2.5" x 3.5" card exactly as it will print. Building a whole deck or a pile of tokens? Add as many cards as you want and order them together for bulk pricing.
We Print and Ship Real Cards
We print your proxies on premium card stock, cut them to standard trading-card size, and ship the physical cards to you in 2-3 days. Every order includes a free magnetic case and free US shipping. Made in Des Moines, Iowa.
What shows up is a stack of real, sleeve-ready cards, not paper printouts, ready to shuffle into your next game.

Premium Card Stock, Standard Size

Bulk Pricing for Whole Decks
Building a full playtest deck or a stack of tokens? Add as many cards as you want to one order and the per-card cost drops as your order grows. Design is always free; you only pay for the printed cards you keep.
What Players Print
Proxies are how you test, build, and play without putting your expensive cards at risk.
Playtest a New Deck
Test a brew before you commit hundreds of dollars to the real cards. Print the whole list, run it for a few weeks, and only chase the singles for the cards that actually earn a slot.
Build a Casual Commander Deck
Fill out a Commander or kitchen-table deck with proxies your pod is happy to play against. Print the staples, the pricey reserved-list cards, and the custom commander you always wanted, then sit down and play.
Custom Cards, Tokens, and Alters
Upload your own artwork or commissioned alters and print one-of-a-kind cards and tokens that look like nothing else at the table. Great for tokens, full-art basics, and joke cards for your playgroup.
Made for the Table, Not the Printer Tray
Commander players, deck brewers, and custom-card hobbyists use Snapshot when home-printed proxies stop cutting it. The most common reaction we hear is surprise at the feel: cards that sleeve and shuffle like the real thing, with art that actually looks the way it did on screen. Because design is free, plenty of players print one test card first, see the quality in hand, then come back to print the whole deck.

Designing your proxies is free. You only pay when you order the physical cards, and bulk orders bring the per-card cost down.
Single-card boxes start at $17.99, with larger boxes ranging up to $49.99 and bulk options for full decks. Every order includes a free magnetic display case and free US shipping, and ships in 2-3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are MTG proxies legal?
For casual play, the answer is generally yes. Proxies are widely accepted in casual Commander and playtesting as long as your playgroup or pod agrees to them. They are not legal in DCI- or Wizards-sanctioned tournaments, where only authentic Magic cards are permitted (the only exception being a judge-issued proxy for a card damaged during an event). Snapshot prints custom and playtest cards for casual and personal use; we do not sell tournament-sanctioned cards. When in doubt, ask the event organizer whether an event is sanctioned before bringing proxies.
What card stock do you print on?
We print on premium card stock cut to the standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading-card size, so your proxies sleeve, shuffle, and feel like real cards at the table rather than like paper printouts. This is a meaningful step up from home-printer paper or thin cardstock that warps and frays.
Can I really upload any image?
Yes. That is the core of how Snapshot works. Upload a photo, your own artwork, a commissioned alter, an AI render, a scan, or any other image, and we print it as a real card. You are not limited to a fixed template or catalog. The higher the resolution of your image, the sharper the printed result.
How fast do proxies ship?
Orders ship in 2-3 days. Every order includes free US shipping and a free magnetic display case. Your cards are printed and cut in our Des Moines, Iowa facility before they ship to you.
Can I print a whole deck or just a few cards?
Both. Order a single proxy or build out an entire playtest deck and stack of tokens in one order. The per-card price drops as your order grows, so printing a full deck is the best value.
What size are the printed cards?
Every card prints at the standard trading-card size of 2.5" x 3.5" (about 63mm x 88mm), the same dimensions as a real Magic card. That means your proxies fit standard sleeves and deck boxes and mix seamlessly with the rest of your collection.
