How to Make a Profile Card | Fit Your Social Media Introduction into One Image

When a profile card comes in handy

A profile card puts your name, title, a one-line introduction and your social accounts into a single image. Information that gets skimmed as text makes people stop and look as an image, and they can save it as it is.

• Pinned social media post: covers what does not fit in your bio, in one image
• Event or meetup introductions: paste it straight onto your first slide
• Online business card: send it in a chat or DM and your name and accounts arrive together
• Author box on a blog or newsletter: placed at the end of an article, it leads readers to your other accounts
• Freelance or side-job applications: attach a summary of your title and achievements to the top of your documents

The point is not to remake it every time. Make it once and save it as an image, and from then on you only paste it. Remake it only when your title changes.

Making a profile card in your browser

You do not need to open a design app. The preview updates as you fill in the fields, so you can adjust while watching the result.

1. 1

   Choose an avatar image

   Pick an image from the round icon frame or the button. The centre of the image is cropped to a square and fitted in a circle, so a photo with your face or logo in the middle will not get cut off. If you choose no image, the first letter of your name is shown as an initial.

2. 2

   Enter your name, title and introduction

   Your name is required. The title is drawn in the accent colour and the introduction in smaller text below it. Everything appears in the preview as you type, so you can see straight away whether it is too long.

3. 3

   Add social accounts and links

   Choose from X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub and Website, and enter your handle or URL. Two slots, X and Instagram, are ready by default, and “+ Add a social account” lets you add up to four.

4. 4

   Choose a background theme

   Pick one of seven themes. Each switches not just the background gradient but also the text colour, accent colour and pattern as a set, so there is no need to agonise over colour matching.

5. 5

   Download as PNG

   Press “Download PNG” to save a 1200 × 630 px image. The button stays disabled while the name is empty, so you cannot accidentally save a card with the name missing.

Writing so it works in few words

The more you cram onto a profile card, the less of it gets read. Each field has a limit, and thinking about what to cut within it gets your message across better in the end.

• Make your title a word that tells people at a glance what you do. Avoid in-house jargon and abbreviations
• Put one number in your introduction for concreteness (for example 3 years, 10 posts a month, 100 articles)
• Two accounts you most want people to see get more clicks than four
• If you will reuse the card, leave out time-limited information such as event names or recruitment notices

Choosing a background theme

There are seven themes. All of them use light text on a dark background, so the text stays readable in a timeline. Choosing by purpose makes the decision easy.

If in doubt, choose a theme whose colour is far from your avatar's. When the avatar and background are similar, the circular avatar blends into the background and its outline becomes hard to see.

Getting the most out of 1200 × 630 px

The saved image is 1200 × 630 px — the same ratio as the OGP image shown when a link is shared on social media, and as wide images attached to posts. That is why it can be pasted as is in so many places.

• Attached to a social post: a wide ratio that tends to display without cropping
• Slide cover: fits naturally on a 16:9 slide
• Author box on a blog or newsletter: sharp enough to fill the article width
• Draft header image: the information sits near the centre, so it stays readable even with the top and bottom cropped

Be careful only when using it as a profile picture. Avatars are cropped to a square, so setting the wide card as your avatar cuts off the sides. Use your original photo for the avatar and the card for introductions.

Keeping it up to date

A profile card loses its value once the information is out of date. That does not mean remaking it every month — reviewing it at these moments is enough.

• When your title or affiliation changes
• When you switch your main social platform or change your account name
• When you change your avatar (a card that does not match your current avatar looks like someone else)
• When a number in your introduction no longer matches reality

What you enter is not saved, so remaking the card means typing it again. Keep the text you entered in a note alongside the downloaded PNG and the next time will be quick.

FAQ

Can I make a profile card for free?

Yes. It runs in your browser, so you can create and download a card for free with no sign-up or installation. The PNG you make can be used as is on social media and in documents.

Is the face photo I upload stored anywhere?

The image you choose is loaded in your browser and used directly to draw the card. It is never sent to a server and does not remain after you close the page, so a face photo never leaves your device.

How many social links can I add?

Up to four, chosen from X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub and Website. Two slots, X and Instagram, are shown by default, and “+ Add a social account” lets you add up to four.

Can I change the image size?

The export size is fixed at 1200 × 630 px. It has the same ratio as social media share images and wide post images, so it works as is in most places. If you need another size, crop the saved PNG in an image editor.

Can I make one on my phone?

Yes. The input fields and theme picker stack vertically to fit the screen, and the preview is shown the same way. You can pick an avatar from your phone's photos and save the card as a PNG on the spot.
