Zombicide Card Maker - Make Custom Cards Online

Wuxy’s Card Maker is a free Zombicide card maker that runs right in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create: open it, design your card, and export it ready to print. Everything happens on your own device, so any artwork you upload stays with you.

What you can make

The Card Maker covers the main Zombicide modes, and each one uses the correct template and print size:

  • Zombicide 2nd Edition – characters, equipment, spawn, abominations, notes and objectives
  • Zombicide Fantasy (Black Plague, Green Horde, White Death) – characters, equipment, spawn and abominations
  • Marvel Zombies / DCEASED – super hero characters, bystanders and enemies, plus ID cards and card backs
  • Zombicide Invader – in progress, more card types on the way

Features

  • Live preview while you type
  • Upload your own character art and move or scale it to fit
  • Custom names, colours and skills
  • Export a high-resolution PNG, ready to print
  • Print ‘n’ Play PDF export
  • Card backs for several card types
  • Save and load a whole project as a .wuxy file, so you can come back to it later
  • Optional AI spell-check that runs locally (setup below)
  • Works on desktop, and on most phones if the device is powerful enough

How to print your cards

This is the question I get most often, so here is the short version. Design your card, then use Export as PNG for a single image or Print ‘n’ Play for a PDF. The Card Maker already outputs the correct size for each game mode, so you do not need to resize anything by hand.

  • Print at 100% / Actual Size and choose A4 – do not use “Fit to page”. If your printer only offers US Letter, keep the scale at 100% (Fit to page on Letter shrinks the cards by about 6%).
  • Print at 300 DPI for a crisp result at the right size.
  • Use 300 g/m² cardstock if you can, so the cards feel close to the originals.
  • You can print at home or take the PDF to a print shop.
  • For Fantasy characters you may need to scale up by about 1.025 for a perfect fit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Card Maker free?

Yes, it is completely free and there is no account to make. If you want to support the work, you can do so on Patreon, but it is never required.

Which Zombicide versions are supported?

2nd Edition, Fantasy (Black Plague, Green Horde and White Death) and Marvel Zombies / DCEASED are all in. Invader is in progress. Many classic and Black Plague cards share a template, so older sets often work too.

What size and resolution should I print at?

Print at 300 DPI. The Card Maker sets the correct dimensions for each card type automatically, so as long as your printer keeps it at 300 DPI the size will be right. Cardstock around 300 g/m² gives the best feel.

How do I save my work and come back later?

Use Save Project to download a .wuxy file with everything in it. Next time, open the Card Maker and use Load Project to pick up where you left off.

Can I use it on my phone?

Mostly, yes. It works on mobile if your device has enough power, but a desktop or laptop is smoother, especially for exporting.

The PDF export is not working for me

PDF export in the online version is still being polished. If it gives you trouble, export a PNG instead, or use the download version below, and please leave a comment telling me which browser you used.

Can you add a game or feature?

Quite a few options were added because someone asked, so leave a comment. Whole new games (like Western) need the right templates first, so those take longer.

Optional: local AI spell-check

You can have the Card Maker check spelling and grammar with a local AI model, so nothing is sent to a server. It is optional and only needed if you want it (Windows, I think):

  1. Install Ollama
  2. Install an Ollama model (I use ministral-3:3b, which is small but fast enough)
  3. Run Ollama
  4. Start the .bat file below (it is in the zip and lets the browser talk to Ollama)
  5. If you do not use ministral-3:3b, open the Grammar Settings in the Card Maker
  6. Refresh the settings and select one of your installed models

Offline download version

The browser version above is the one I recommend and keep up to date. If you would rather work offline, there is an older downloadable build here:

Version history

Currently Version 0.3.2 is online and still in alpha.

Currently working on:

  1. Super Hero: spawn and equipment cards
  2. Zombie Hero: spawn and equipment cards
  3. Invader

0.3.2: correct sizes for all game modes at 300 DPI (Fantasy characters scale up by 1.025), save-to-PDF for all implemented cards, updated engine, more or less mobile-friendly, and general bugfixes (startup crash on some browsers, and empty descriptions no longer breaking 2nd Edition equipment and weapon cards). Fantasy spawn cards added.

0.3.1: 2nd Edition characters can have up to 6 health and Zombvivors, an editable yellow skill, equipment lock icons for campaigns (blue, red and orange) and all-out dice. Fantasy gained an editable yellow skill plus abomination and necromancer cards.

0.2.12–0.2.17: online test phase started, resizable window, card backs for Super/Zombie Hero ID cards, name backgrounds that scale with text length, note cards for Super Hero, improved Super Hero templates, and equipment added for Fantasy.

If you try it out, please leave a comment with suggestions or bugs – a lot of the features above came from feedback. You can also browse my 2nd Edition and Marvel Zombies and DCEASED content for cards and campaigns to use with it.

Have fun,
Rene

  1. My thoughts:
    1) On the scale image, can you also make it a percentage not just slider?
    2) Some heroes have 4 or even 5 health. Can those be options?
    3) The kid option (smiley face with hat) does nothing?
    4) Is it possible to click and drag the image around? Right now, we forced to use the keyboard arrows.
    5) Is it possible to make a checkmark box to upload an already created character? ex: The skills and names are already filled in, and it just uploads the entire picture and automatically scales it or tells you what to scale to.
    6) What about a backside?

    • Heyho, that was fast 🙂 thanks for the feedback. 1. no problem will be done 2. this might need some more time as i have to create assets. For marvel it will be in on day 1 :). 3.weird it should add the symbol in the upper right corner, as the supe buttom does. Maybe a bug. 4. right now it is not possible, maybe in future, i have to read into that… 5.yes i want to add this to save data to text file and load it back in. But this will also need more time. Backs will come after ALL Cards front are done. I dont have them on high priority for now. Thanks for your input! This is just the first draft and is all about functionality, but if it working so far for you i am glad 🙂

  2. Awesome work. I envy creative people like you 😉

    Please help the dummy that I am. What format should the images I want to load be in? I have one in Paint but it doesn’t seam to work. Thanks!

  3. This looks great! Will you be making one for fantasy Zombicide? There are more than 7000 members in the Facebook Zombicide group, and I bet many of them would jump at the chance to make their own custom cards without needing photoshop (which is what I use to create my stuff.) Since I brought it up, I have photoshop templates and fonts in a google drive for all the different cards, and even for the mission templates. So let me know if you want access to any of that.

      • Great!!! Thanks a bunch! I have used the tool to create a few characters for Zombicide 2nd ed. and it’s perfect! I have now Zombicide Invader and I was thinking to create a new Character ID, but I saw that it is under development, so I will be looking forward for this update.

    • Sorry i dont understand it 🙂 i dont know if the fonts had kyrillic letters, if so it should work, else i dont think so. Maybe i could add a function that will use normal fonts for russian letters, if that would help you.

  4. Firstly, thank you very much for your work.

    I can’t place the image correctly on the equipment card

    I can put the same png on abomination cards, but I can’t put it on equipment or spaw cards

  5. I have the latest version but it won’t let me save the card. Nothing happens when I click “save png”. What can I do?

  6. Love the generator. One thing I noticed… On the note cards the gray box for the text does not continuously expand it only goes to about a quarter of the way down the card before it stops and just makes the text smaller. Other than that great job.

  7. Hey! Very nice work with the generator, would you make this open source or give access to someone else to keep helping?

    I want to add Massive Darkness into it as well as some custom fonts, probably even some networking functionality to save and share heroes.

    Thank you!

  8. Firstly I would like to congratulate your work, it’s already great, a suggestion would be to make the yellow skill editable too, as well as giving more freedom like “+1 action and luck” (I can also put the field in my mother tongue, which is not English )

  9. I loved the software you created S2 S2. I’m Brazilian, and I just wanted to ask you, would it be possible to change the parts written in “English” (yellow level and place for armor)? Just to keep the card in the same language 😀

  10. For the weapons of 2ed, they need the all out dices symbol and the padlock symbol to keep the weapon in campain, i think thats not too hard to implement..
    but is a nice work, i will keep following your work

  11. This is AMAZING. Seriously, thank you so much for creating this and allowing it to be free. I’m not yet ready to create my custom characters (Boba Fett, John Wick, Vegeta, Piccolo) because I want to familiarize myself with the rest of the character abilities to ensure I create balanced abilities. BUT when I do, I will tip you in your Patreon for my gratitude. You rock!

    • uf that might be hard honestly. i can try to give a custom font option, eg all text will be that fond then, but there are a lot of different ones involved

  12. Hi Wuxy, thank you so much for this and your amazing content! Will be tipping once I get my stuff printed.
    The Save PDF function isn’t working in the Online version. I downloaded the main version and it appears that it works for Super Hero ID cards, but not for Bystander cards.
    When saving a PNG with this template, how do I put it into a PDF or Word document to ensure it is sized correctly?

    Thanks!

    • hey printing should be fine with 300dpi, yeah pdf is a bit broken yet and needs more fixing for online 🙂 I think i have to redo the complete logic for the whole program.

  13. It’s really cool to be able to do my own cards, it’s intuitive and easy. But the “save png and pdf” button don’t work for me, and I think 2 features can be had the all out dices first and the possibilty to give 4 Health for supers.

    Thank you for this tool it’s really helpfull.

  14. In the 2nd Edition when you create a weapon card, if you remove the text, the dedicated spaces for the numbers are deleted.

  15. Hey wuxyteo

    Awsome job! Are you still developing this tool?

    I was hoping that Western would make its way in.

    • with very limited time i work on it. But yeah i still dont have the right template for western so it might need more time. i am currently on invader and finishing fantasy

      • Yes,please! Finish fantasy! 🙂 You are making an fantastic work! I wanted to update my BP and GH game set with some custome spawn and equipment cards ( from Massive Darknnes and other monsters to make a D&D or HeroQuest like crawling game.. as Book Of The Death, do you know it?) and the Card Maker is the perfect tool. Thanks a lot, I wish I could help.. I will contribute on Patreon 😉

    • Please, can you make the yellow action writeble? Some characters have different actions. Can you save to the text file the chosen color? Thanks!

  16. Really Loving the card maker. Is there any chance you will be adding a Keep Value to the 2E equipment cards for Campaign play?

  17. The Abomination, Spawn, and Necromancer for the Fantasy section only load up the Character card.

  18. I just found this card generator I was wonder what the dimensions were for each card type like the character sheets and item cards and if it should be printed in cardstock?

  19. Hey Wuxyteo ! Do you plan to add the rear side of the survivor card for 2nd edition ?
    Btw great job the editor is super simple to use !

  20. Thanks for all your work. Love it!

    I was wondering if this is still in active development. I would love to see more card types and especially an guard skill option for White Death. Maybe put it on github so the community could help with the development?

  21. Hello,

    Great work! I’ve just discovered Zombicide… however, access to the map creation tool doesn’t seem to have been working since yesterday.

    Have a nice day, and thanks again for this work!

      • Créateur de cartes : version 0.3.2 on ne peut plus faire des carte fanmad, le lien indique :

        L’en-tête de réponse HTTP « Content-Type » est mal configuré sur le serveur pour le fichier Build/Webgl.wasm.gz ; il devrait être « application/wasm ». Les performances au démarrage en seront affectées.

  22. Is it already possible to place the star of power up in the skills on the Marvel and DC card options?

  23. Hi,

    I tried to open your WebGL link but the server is sending the file Build/Webgl.wasm.gz with the wrong HTTP header.

    Currently, the Content-Type is not set correctly. It should be:

    Content-Type: application/wasm
    Content-Encoding: gzip

    Because of this, browsers show a warning and the startup performance is affected.
    You’ll need to adjust the server configuration (Nginx, Apache, Netlify, etc.) so that .wasm.gz files are served with the correct headers.

    Best,

  24. What you did is amazing!

    But I notice a few things that could be changed to make it even better:

    The app don’t have the all out option. Only the online version has it.

    Curently it’s not posible to make a weapon that can both be double AND open doors.

  25. thanks for the updates and fixes

    save to pdf does not work (tested from several places just to be sure)
    feature request: spawn,item and necro cards have goblin logo at the corner, can we add or choose different png for that?

  26. Hi!

    Some things are not working. There is an error every time I try to download a Note card. And there is no way I can download the PDF version; the button doesn’t seem to work.

    Suggestion: Is there a way to change the background color from yellow to another color? (Actually, I want to make some skill cards, so it would be lovely to use the same colors from the skills, like blue, yellow, orange, and red)

  27. I found a way to download the app, and it is working properly. Thanks!

    About the color of the card, if it is ok for you to put this option, il’d appreciate it. Thanks!

  28. That’s amazing! Thank you for this. One question, are there plans to add the modern version’s back ? I’d love to be able to write the skill descriptions on the back.

  29. Fantastic work, this saves so much time.
    I’m using version 0.3.2 to create character cards for Zombicide 2nd edition. The “Save PNG &PDF” button does not seem to do anything. Is it temporarily having issues, or perhaps a problem on my end?
    Also, when I choose “Save PNG” it does not seem to save to the correct size for printing, unless I am just terrible at printing. I may have misunderstood the patch notes, but I gathered it should be saving in the correct size.

  30. When trying to safe PNG of Fantasy-Spawn I get this error (tried multiple browsers…)

    An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
    RuntimeError: indirect call to null

  31. Hi

    I am still playing classic Zombicide (1.0?) with Rue Morgue & Angry Neighbours Expansions. I am using the plastic dashboards from Black Plague / Green Horde. I really like your editor – is there a version with the classic Zombicide artwork that fits the BP (Fantasy) Dashboards please?

  32. hi 🙂 thanks a lot for the app. It’s realy amazing. I have one problem when creating a spawn card in fantasy. It’s always end with java error script when saving. Funny thing bc i have chacked all other cards and only with spaw there is the issue. Is it maybe a issue on my site or is it normal? I have checked this also in other browsers

  33. This looks cool – I just discovered it… only thing… when adding text to a card, it’s not in the ‘Zombicide’ font like your older version! It would be cooler ifthe new version used the Zombicide font too 🙂

  34. Your new version of the card maker, for Fantasy cards, doesn’t use the ‘Zombicide’ font for the text anymore?! … They looked better with the Zombicide font 🙂 … Is that an oversight or an error? Or is that just how the new version is? (I thought I posted this comment before! But can’t find it!)

      • When you type the rules for your Necromancer/Abomination model in the ‘Description’ section, the font the text appears in is not the ‘Zombicide’ font (it looks like Ariel) – but in your older version of the card maker it was the ‘Zombicide font’ (i think the font is called Arek Latin). The correct font just makes the cards look cooler.

  35. LOVE this tool and have used it a ton for custom content. I am curious when Super Hero mode Spawn cards will become available. Looking to create a few of those for some custom games with my son. Keep up the great work!

  36. Hey wuxyteo, what an awesome job huh? Is there any tip where to find the oficial images used on Marvel Zombies Kickstarters? I just want to translate my english cards to portuguese. Thank you so much!

  37. You are doing an amazing job, honestly the best project of this kind I’ve found on the internet so far.

    One suggestion, if possible, would be to create unique heroic traits for Marvel characters, including both custom images and descriptive text in addition to the equipment system.

  38. Hello,
    Thank you for all this work—it’s really helpful for creating our cards. Thank you!
    However, I have two small things to add.
    When I use the PDF version, the card size is slightly larger than the original, so it doesn’t fit in my sleeves.
    Also, would it be possible to leave “DEVOR” blank so I can change it to another language?
    Thanks again for your work!

    • Hi, sorry, I forgot to set it to actual size. Now everything looks fine for printing without needing any changes—thanks!
      However, I think the text is a bit smaller than the original. Maybe make it bolder?
      The windows don’t resize very well if there’s too much text, and the “Red Skill” part at the end might get cut off.
      Is it possible to leave DEVOUR free to translate into our language?
      Mozilla et Superhero – Character Card, merci !

  39. Hello,
    This is my third post; no doubt this one will be deleted by the moderators too…
    Thank you for your work; creating the cards is easy and they look very similar to the originals – thank you!
    However, when I use the ‘Print to PDF’ option, the size is slightly larger than the original card, so it doesn’t fit into the sleeves.
    Thanks again for your work.

  40. Thank you for your work; creating the cards is easy and they look very similar to the originals – thank you!
    However, when I use the ‘Print to PDF’ option, the size is slightly larger than the original card, so it doesn’t fit into the sleeves.
    Thanks again for your work.

  41. Really a great site and an excellent card generator. I’m genuinely impressed, and I’m going to use it to create friends and family members as survivors. Really awesome.
    I did notice two small things with the Second Edition, though:
    When I create a weapon that has a Keep Value and can be used as Dual, the Dual icon is positioned too high and slightly covers the Keep Value number.
    Is there a way to create a weapon that works as both a ranged and melee weapon? There are a few of those in the base game and expansions.
    If these two things could still be added, it would be really almost perfect.
    Is there already a timeline for when it will also be possible to create mission cards for the Second Edition?
    Thanks again for all your hard work!

  42. Is it possible to place the star of power up in the skills on the Marvel and DC card options on the new version?
    On the older one it was @
