Frequently asked questions
Can I make a custom card from a photo?+
Yes — upload any photo and Cardbop turns it into a personalized trading card. You frame the photo in a live preview, add a name and details, and order. No photo-editing skills needed.
What kind of photo works best?+
A clear, well-lit photo that fills the frame with your subject. A recent phone photo is plenty. You can reposition and zoom it in the preview to crop it to the card.
Do I need to edit or crop the photo first?+
No — upload the full photo and crop it inside the live preview. There's nothing to edit beforehand.
Can I use an old or scanned photo?+
Yes — as long as it's reasonably clear, an old or scanned photo works. Higher resolution prints crisper.
How much does a card from a photo cost?+
The current promotional price is $20 for one Display Card and $35 for a 10-card Card Pack. Regular prices are $25 and $50. Designing is free, and you can personalize one in minutes.
