Printable Poker Cards
Need a deck for game night, a classroom maths activity or a custom party favour? This generator draws a full deck of playing cards — every pip laid out in the traditional pattern — at real poker or bridge size. Choose two- or four-colour suits, add your own card back, and print nine cards per sheet with cut marks. Card stock and a paper trimmer do the rest.

- A custom back in your colour with your own text, printed separately.
Poker size or bridge size?
| Size | Dimensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Poker | 2.5 × 3.5 in (63.5 × 88.9 mm) | The most common size; used in casinos and for most games |
| Bridge | 2.25 × 3.5 in (57.2 × 88.9 mm) | Narrower, easier to hold many cards — popular for bridge and rummy |
| Nine per page | 3 × 3 grid | Fits Letter and A4 with small margins |
How to print and cut your cards
- Load heavy card stock — around 80–110 lb cover (about 215–300 gsm) feels closest to real cards.
- Print the fronts at 100% scale (turn off “fit to page”).
- For double-sided cards, print the backs on the other side, flipping on the correct edge; test with plain paper first.
- Cut along the dashed cut marks with a paper trimmer or a craft knife and ruler.
- Round the corners with a corner punch if you have one — it stops them catching.
- For durability, slide each card into a clear card sleeve.
Why four-colour decks?
In a four-colour deck each suit has its own colour — usually black spades, red hearts, blue diamonds and green clubs. It makes hearts and diamonds (and spades and clubs) instantly distinguishable at a glance, which is why many online poker rooms offer it. It also helps younger players and anyone who finds red and black suits hard to tell apart in dim light.
Poker hand rankings
| Rank | Hand | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal flush | A K Q J 10 of one suit |
| 2 | Straight flush | 9 8 7 6 5 of one suit |
| 3 | Four of a kind | Q Q Q Q 3 |
| 4 | Full house | K K K 7 7 |
| 5 | Flush | Any five of one suit |
| 6 | Straight | 5 6 7 8 9 of mixed suits |
| 7 | Three of a kind | 8 8 8 K 2 |
| 8 | Two pair | J J 4 4 9 |
| 9 | One pair | 10 10 A 6 3 |
| 10 | High card | None of the above |
In a standard 52-card deck there are 2,598,960 possible five-card hands; only 4 of them are royal flushes.
Card anatomy
| Part | What it is |
|---|---|
| Index | The rank and suit in the corners, readable when cards are fanned |
| Pips | The suit symbols in the middle of number cards, arranged so you can count them |
| Court cards | Jack, queen and king — traditionally with portraits; here shown as large letters |
| Back | The identical design on every card that keeps cards hidden |
| Jokers | Extra cards used as wild cards in some games |
Printing double-sided without misalignment
Most home printers shift the paper slightly between the first and second side, so backs can end up a millimetre or two off. The back design here has a wide border and a centred panel, which hides small shifts. Print a test sheet on plain paper, hold it up to a light to check the alignment, and adjust your printer’s “flip on long edge” or “short edge” setting before using card stock. If alignment is still off, print fronts and backs separately and glue them together with a glue stick before cutting.
Uses for a printable deck
- Replace a lost or damaged card in an existing deck (match the size).
- Maths lessons: probability, counting and number bonds.
- Party favours or wedding table games with a custom back.
- Prototype your own card game before ordering printed cards.
- Large-pip cards for players who find small print hard to read.
Worked example: paper needed
A full deck with two jokers is 54 cards. At nine per sheet that is six sheets for the fronts (54 ÷ 9 = 6) and six more for the backs if you print them separately — twelve sheets of card stock, or six if you print double-sided.
Card game printables pack
The optional pack includes a poker hand ranking chart, a poker chip value and tournament blinds sheet, score sheets for rummy, hearts, spades and cribbage, and a card game night planner. The deck generator above is free to use.
