News10 November 2026

If you’ve ever wanted to invent your own Pokémon card, Pokecardmaker.net is the place to do it. It’s a free website where you build a card step by step, and it comes out looking just like a real one. My friends and I use it all the time.

  • A computer or tablet1
  • Your own drawing for the artwork1

How to make a card

  1. Pick the kind of card

    Choose a Pokémon, Trainer or Energy card, and the style you want.

  2. Fill in the details

    Give it a name, HP, a type, attacks and any special rules.

  3. Add your picture

    Upload your own drawing for the artwork.

  4. Download it

    When you’re happy, download it as a picture to keep or share.

Save your cards

Sign up for a free account and your cards are saved, so you can come back and change them later, or send them to friends.

What I make with it

[Placeholder: what you like making with it. Your own Pokémon? Joke cards? Cards for your friends? And what’s your favourite card you’ve made?]

Who's behind it

Pokecardmaker.net was made by Leon, who lives in the Netherlands. Leon started it in 2020 as a little practice project, wanting to print the newest Japanese cards to test decks with friends, because no other website made them look right.

Now over a million people use it. The amazing bit? Leon still runs it all alone, and it’s still free, with no ads.

Tip

Use your own drawings for the card pictures, and never sell the cards you make. They’re just for fun.

Learning when to scoop

Competitive play, best of three: sometimes giving up a game you can't win is the smart move, because it saves time to win the next two.
