Choose the moment
Action photos should read in a split second
The best card images show the athlete clearly: a decisive play, confident stance, celebration or focused portrait. Use the highest-resolution original and avoid photos where equipment, another player or heavy blur hides the subject.
Visible details
Jersey number, uniform colors and equipment can help anchor the athlete's identity.
Permission first
Use a photo you own or are authorized to use. For minors, get parent or legal-guardian permission.
Personalize the card
Turn stats and memories into identity
Name and number
Use the athlete's preferred name and current jersey number exactly as they should appear.
Position and title
Add a position, role, season, tournament, achievement or memorable collectible title.
Player or team direction
Create one athlete at a time, then repeat the same visual direction to build a coordinated team set.
Print and reveal
Keep the print-ready files for physical collecting and use the vertical Reveal for team and family sharing.
Season-ready ideas
Make more than a standard player card
Create senior-night keepsakes, tournament highlights, championship memories, coach thank-yous, award cards, captain cards or one consistent set for the whole roster. Keep names, colors and visual direction accurate across every athlete.
