Use the copy-and-paste prompt below to generate a business card (landscape) in ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva or any AI image tool — sized correctly for print at 300 DPI, CMYK, with bleed. Fill in the [brackets], generate, and order it from FlyersATL for same-day or next-day pickup in Atlanta or Peachtree Corners.

Design a print-ready business card, final trim size 3.5" × 2", landscape orientation, aspect ratio 7:4. Output at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Final artwork with bleed should be 3.75" × 2.25" (1,125 × 675 pixels). Add 0.125" of bleed on all four sides and keep all text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim edge. BUSINESS: [Business name] — [what you do] — [Atlanta, GA / neighborhood] FRONT: [Full name], [Job title], [logo description] BACK: [Phone], [Email], [Website], [Address], [Social handle] STYLE: [bold & modern / clean & elegant / urban & edgy / playful]. Brand colors: [color 1], [color 2], [accent]. Fonts: [bold sans-serif headline, clean body text]. IMAGERY: [describe the photo or illustration you want, or say "no photos, typographic design only"] RULES: Use large, legible fonts and strong contrast; no tiny text; no lorem ipsum or placeholder text; no watermarks; spell every word exactly as written above; flat print-safe colors (no neon or glowing RGB effects); clean edges; solid background that extends fully into the bleed area.
Design tips for this size
- Ask for the front and back as two separate images: front = name, title and logo; back = contact details or a bold brand pattern.
- Minimum readable type on a business card is about 7–8 pt — tell the AI “no tiny text.”
- Leave a little breathing room around the edges; cards are cut in stacks so anything touching the trim line can shift.
Tool settings
- ChatGPT / DALL·E: Paste the prompt as-is. Image output is limited to about 1024–1536 px, so pick the landscape option and then upscale (see step 3).
- Midjourney: Add
--ar 7:4to the end of the prompt and use--q 2. Upscale the result you like. - Canva (Magic Design / Magic Media): Create a custom-size design at 3.75″ × 2.25″, paste the prompt into Magic Media, then download as PDF Print with CMYK and crop marks & bleed checked.
- Adobe Firefly / Express: Choose the landscape aspect ratio closest to 7:4, generate, then open in Express at 3.75″ × 2.25″ @ 300 ppi and export as print PDF.
From AI image to print-ready file
- Generate 3–4 versions and pick the one with the cleanest text. AI still misspells words — read every line.
- Fix the text if needed by dropping the image into Canva or Photoshop and retyping headlines over it.
- Upscale to at least 1,125 × 675 px using Canva’s upscaler, Topaz Gigapixel, Upscayl (free) or Photoshop’s Super Resolution.
- Set the document to 3.75″ × 2.25″ at 300 DPI, convert to CMYK, and export a flattened PDF.
- Upload & order on the business card page, or send it for a quote. Not sure about your file? Send it anyway — we look at every file before it prints.
