An extremely versatile size, custom flat 5x7 cards are printed on premium-grade gloss or matte card stocks. Artists frequently use 5x7 cards for invitations, thank-you cards, greeting cards, framable artwork, and much more. Thousands of photographers and graphic designers nationwide take advantage of our high-quality prints at affordable prices every day.
What size is a 5×7 print file in pixels?
At 300 DPI, set up your file at 1500 × 2100 pixels. For full bleed, use 5.25 × 7.25 inches (1575 × 2175 pixels).
Do I need bleed for 5×7 card printing?
Yes, for edge-to-edge artwork. Add 0.125" bleed on all sides and keep important elements 0.25" from the trim edge.
What’s the best resolution for 5×7 printing?
300 DPI ensures sharp detail. Avoid enlarging low-resolution files.
What file format should I upload?
A print-ready PDF is best. High-resolution JPG or PNG also work if properly sized.
Should my file be RGB or CMYK?
CMYK is recommended for accurate print color. RGB files may shift when converted.
Will printed colors match my screen?
Not exactly. Screens use RGB light; printing uses CMYK ink. Minor color variation is normal. Request a digital proof if color accuracy is critical.
Can I order small quantities?
Yes. Short runs are ideal for testing new designs, limited editions, and small retail batches.
What paper works best for 5×7 art cards?
Matte for a fine art look and gloss or satin for vibrant, photo-style color.
Are 5×7 cards a good size to sell?
Yes. 5×7 is easy to display, ship, and price—plus it fits standard frames and envelopes.

A Printkeg designer will prep your postcard for press and email you a PDF proof — usually within a few business hours. You'll see the trim line and a preview of your CMYK colors before we print.
For $9, our prepress team takes care of the small stuff — file dimensions, border issues, problem bleed areas — so your postcards come out clean the first time.
Rush Turnaround moves your order up a full day — often same-day printing. When same-day isn't possible, we'll typically expedite shipping to hit your deadline.
