Questions, answered
What are the most popular football card design styles on CardStar?
Icon suits squad sets and clean gift presentations because it keeps the focus on the photo. Gold works well for awards and milestone occasions. Vintage is a good fit for long-serving players and coaches.
Can I use any photo for a football card design?
Yes. You upload a photo and the background is removed automatically, so the player appears clean against the card artwork. A clear, well-lit photo where the face is visible works best. Parents can add a child's photo directly through the upload tool.
Are the stats on the card editable?
All six stats are fully editable, along with the position and headline rating. You can use real data or anything that reflects the player's game. The card updates as you type so you can see the result before you order.
