Custom Sports Card Creation Guide

Our custom sports card builder allows you to create personalized player cards that look professional and authentic. Follow this step-by-step guide to create your perfect card.

Step 1: Basic Information

Start by entering the player's name and uploading a photo. For best results:

• Use a clear, high-quality image
• Choose a photo where the player is facing forward

Our system will automatically remove the background from your image. For more detailed photo guidelines, see our Image Requirements article.
