Why CardFoundry

A free MTG card builder built by players, for players.

We're a small group of Magic: The Gathering players who got tired of clunky, ad-heavy card generators. CardFoundry is the MTG custom card maker we wanted to use ourselves — fast, free, and built specifically for playtesting, homebrewing, and cube design.

CardFoundry is an independent, fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro. "Magic: The Gathering" and "MTG" are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast LLC, used here only to describe what our card builder and proxy builder are compatible with.

No account required

Design and export a card completely free, with no sign-up wall.

Print-accurate sizing

Exports match standard card dimensions (2.5in × 3.5in), so proxies fit real sleeves.

Playtesting, not tournament play

Proxies are for personal use and casual games — not sanctioned Wizards of the Coast events.

Questions

Common questions about the MTG card builder

Is CardFoundry really free?

Yes. Designing a card in the editor and exporting it as a PNG costs nothing and doesn't require an account. An account is only needed if you want to save a card to the public gallery.

Can I use CardFoundry to make MTG proxies for playtesting?

Yes — export your card at full resolution and print it at standard card size (2.5in × 3.5in) for playtesting or casual games. Proxies aren't tournament-legal in official Wizards of the Coast events, so check your playgroup's or store's policy first.

Do I need design experience to use the custom card maker?

No. Every part of the card — name, cost, type line, rules text, stats, art, and frame style — is a form field or upload button, and the canvas updates live as you type.

What frame styles are available?

Five structurally different styles — Classic, Full Bleed, Ornate, Sleek, and Vintage — each in six color themes, for 30 total combinations.

Is this an official Magic: The Gathering tool?

No. CardFoundry is an independent, fan-made MTG custom card maker, not affiliated with or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro.

Your next custom MTG card or proxy is a few clicks away.
