Your comp card, ready to print

Pick a layout, add up to five photos and the details you are happy to share. You get a print-ready PDF and an image to send from your phone.

Your photos never leave this device. They are read by your browser to draw the card and are not uploaded or saved anywhere. Your typed details can be kept as a draft in this browser only, and you can clear them at any time.

    Contact (all optional)

    Please never put your home address on a comp card. Cards get passed around and left on tables. An email or your agency's details are enough.

    What a comp card is, and what agencies look for

    A business card with pictures

    A comp card (also called a composite or Zed card) is a visual business card that introduces you to clients. The usual layout is your portrait and name on the front, with more photos, your stats and contact details on the back. Backstage, 2022

    Clear, natural photos first

    When you apply, agencies mainly want simple, honest pictures. Models 1 asks for a front headshot, a profile and a full-length shot, in bright natural light, with no make-up, filters or retouching, and says phone photos are fine. Models 1, apply page, accessed 2026 Premier asks for the same three "digitals" in daylight against a plain backdrop. Premier Model Management, 2025

    Check you can use each photo

    In the UK, the author of a work (for a photo, usually the photographer) is the first owner of its copyright. Before you print a professional shot, check your agreement with the photographer and credit them if they ask. Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, section 11

    Honest limits

    • The PDF has no bleed or crop marks. If a print shop asks for them, tell them it is set to print at actual size, or ask them to add bleed.
    • Colours on screen and on paper never match exactly. Order one test print before a big batch.
    • The card uses the site fonts when you are online. Offline, it falls back to a standard font.
    • It cannot check whether a photo is sharp enough, recent enough or yours to use. That part is down to you.
    • Photos are not saved. If you close or reload the page, add them again.
    • These layouts have not been reviewed by agencies. Some agencies make their own cards for the models they represent.
