RPG character cards
RPG character cards: your party, printed in TCG style.
An RPG character card is your tabletop or roleplay character printed as a trading card: their art, name, class, HP, signature abilities, and a backstory line. Cardbop prints it in a game-card layout as a Display Card ($29.99) or as part of a 10-card Card Pack for the whole party ($49.99).
- Your character art
- Class + level + HP
- Pack of 10 for the party
- Free to design
- From $29.99
Bring your own image: a photo, a drawing, or art you made or commissioned. We print it on the card as you upload it. We don't animate it or turn photos into anime.
Upload a photo or art you made, commissioned, or have permission to use. We can't print characters from shows, games, or movies you don't own the rights to.
Swipe or drag horizontally, click the card, use the Front and Back buttons, or press the left and right arrow keys to change sides.

What goes on the card
Name, HP (up to 4 digits), a type line (36 characters), two optional abilities with a name (30), a description (110), and a damage number, plus flavor text (90 characters).
- Name and HP
- The card's name across the top, with HP on the right: up to 4 digits, or leave it blank and nothing prints.
- Element symbol
- One of 9 symbols (Fire, Water, Plant, Lightning, Wind, Magic, Neutral, Metal, and Earth), the one the card color suggests, or none. It always matches the card color.
- The art window
- Your photo, drawing, or illustration in a bordered frame. You zoom and position it in the preview.
- Type line and number
- A short type or class (36 characters), with the card's set number on the right.
- Two abilities
- Each one gets a name (30 characters), a description (110), and a damage number. Use one, both, or neither.
- Flavor text
- A last line at the bottom (90 characters): a quote, a date, an inside joke.
- The back
- Your own message, plus a QR code that opens the card's Living Card page with more photos and the story behind it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn my RPG character into a real trading card?+
