About CompCard

A free, browser-based tool created to help models, actors, and talent build professional composite cards in minutes.

What is a Comp Card?

A comp card (short for composite card, also known as a zed card, sed card, or model card) is the standard marketing tool and business card for fashion and commercial models, actors, and talent. Typically printed double-sided on heavy cardstock (usually 5.5" × 8.5" or A5), it features a striking headshot on the front and several editorial or commercial looks on the reverse, along with essential physical statistics and agency or contact information.

How It Works

Creating a comp card usually requires expensive desktop publishing software or agency fees. CompCard simplifies the entire workflow into four straightforward steps:

  1. Upload your photos: Select and arrange your best headshot and portfolio images directly in your browser.
  2. Enter your details: Add your name, key physical measurements (height, bust/chest, waist, hips, shoe, eye and hair color), and representation or contact details.
  3. Choose a layout: Select from clean, industry-standard templates (Classic, Editorial, or Minimal) and customize typography and spacing.
  4. Download your PDF: Export a high-resolution, print-ready PDF ready for digital submissions or professional print shops.

Built for Privacy

Unlike many online editors that upload your high-resolution images to third-party cloud servers, CompCard processes everything locally in your browser memory. Your photographs never leave your device, no account is required, and all image data is instantly cleared the moment you close the tab.

Open Source & Independent

CompCard is not a corporation, modeling agency, or subscription service. It is an independent, free, open-source tool built with modern web technologies (Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS). It was created to provide accessible, reliable creative tools to talent everywhere without fees or paywalls.
