How to Use

  1. Add your content — Paste an image URL, enter a card title and description, and set your call-to-action button text.
  2. Style the card — Pick a button accent color, drag the width slider between 200 and 600 px, choose a shadow level, and adjust border radius for sharp or rounded corners.
  3. Optional badge — Add a badge label (like "Featured" or "New") to appear in the top-right corner of the image. Leave it blank to hide it.
  4. Copy or download — Switch to HTML Code, copy the output, and paste it into any Bootstrap 5 project. No extra CSS needed.

Why Use This Tool?

Bootstrap cards look simple on paper but involve half a dozen stacked classes the moment you want a specific width, object-fit image, badge overlay, and custom button color. This generator handles all the fiddly inline styles and Bootstrap class combinations, so you get a pixel-accurate card component in seconds rather than minutes of trial and error in DevTools. It's equally useful for rapid prototyping, building CMS templates, or producing consistent blog post thumbnails across a site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the card require any custom CSS?
No — the output uses only Bootstrap 5 classes and minimal inline style overrides for color and border-radius values that Bootstrap doesn't expose as utilities. Include Bootstrap 5 CSS and it renders correctly.
What image aspect ratio works best?
The card image is cropped to 220 px tall using object-fit: cover, so landscape images (16:9 or 4:3) look best. Portrait images will crop to the centre, which is usually fine for product or portrait shots.
Can I put multiple cards in a responsive grid?
Yes — wrap each card in a Bootstrap col-md-4 (or col-lg-3) inside a row div and they will stack automatically on smaller screens. Remove the fixed width style if you want the cards to fill their column.
What is the badge for?
The badge is an optional label (e.g. 'Featured', 'New', 'Sale') that appears in the top-right corner of the card image. Leave the field blank and the badge is omitted from the output entirely.
Is it free?
Completely free with no signup required. Built by the CanvasBuilder.co team.
