Four print styles
Engraving, Poster, Halftone and Duotone, each with a strength control. The style takes the ink and paper of your deck.

FAQ
More guides on the Support page.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No. There is no login and the app has no network features. Everything is designed, stored and printed from your iPhone.
Which kinds of decks can I design?
Five templates: French with 52 cards and two jokers, Spanish 40, Spanish 48 with two jokers, German 32 and Swiss 36. Each one starts with its own suits and courts, and you can change them from there.
Can I print the deck at home?
Yes. Press and hold a deck, choose Export, then Print sheets. You get a PDF for A4 or US Letter with 63 × 88 mm cards, 3 mm of bleed and crop marks. Print it at 100% scale so the size stays right.
What happens to the photos I put on cards?
They are processed on your iPhone and stored inside the app. They only leave the device if you share a deck file yourself, because the file carries its photos with it.
How do I send a deck to a friend?
Press and hold the deck and choose Share deck. Your friend opens the .onedeck file from Messages, Files or AirDrop, or taps + in the Studio tab and imports it. The Deck received screen shows every card before they add it.
Can I play with any deck?
Memory and Higher or Lower take any deck. Solitaire needs a French deck, since Klondike is built on its 52 cards.
Which iPhones does it run on?
Any iPhone on iOS 16 or later. The app is made for iPhone in portrait, and the interface is in English.
Are there ads or purchases in the app?
No. The app has no ads and no in-app purchases.
