Editable, shareable, reusable

Business card template generator

A template is a card you can hand to a coworker and have them fill in their own name. Kleido generates templates instead of one-off images: every card you create becomes a template URL with a slug, an editable structure, and a defined set of identity fields.

That means a small team can share the same brand-faithful card design and only swap the name, role, and contact info. A new hire does not need design help to produce their card on day one — they open the template, edit their fields, and export.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Generate from a website URL

    Start the same way as a one-off card: paste the company URL and let the AI extract the brand and compose the layout. Pick whether you want a single design or several variants to compare.

  2. Step 02

    Save as a template

    Every successful generation is saved as a template under your account, with a stable slug. You get a share link you can pass to a coworker so they can clone or edit it without starting from scratch.

  3. Step 03

    Edit identity fields per person

    Each template defines its identity fields — name, role, email, phone, social handles, QR target. Editing a field updates only the rendered card, not the underlying design system, so a teammate's card matches yours without you redoing the layout.

  4. Step 04

    Order per teammate

    Once each person fills in their fields, they can order printed cards from the same template. The whole team's cards stay visually consistent because the template is the same.

Use cases

Shipping cards for a whole team

Generate the template once for the company. Share it with the team. Each person edits their own fields and prints. The CFO's card and the intern's card look like they belong to the same company because they are the same template.

Reusing across roles

Sales has a different back than support, but the front identity is shared. Save two templates from the same source URL and let each team use the one that fits.

Onboarding new hires

Onboarding ships a template link in the welcome email. The new hire fills in their name and exports a card on their first morning — no ticket to design, no waiting on brand assets.

Iterating on a redesign

Generate three template options from the same URL, share all three with the team for feedback, then promote the winner to the official template. The losing variants stay in your account so you can revisit.

About Business card template generator

Templates are not static images. They store the underlying HTML structure of both sides plus the field definitions, so editing a field reflows the layout instead of breaking it. If a name is too long for the original layout, the template adapts; the design does not silently clip.

You can also regenerate the back of a template independently — useful when the front identity is settled but the back is still being argued about. The variant comparison view makes it easy to lock the winner without losing access to the rejects.

Templates also help with the awkward middle ground where a company has a brand but no formal brand kit. The template captures the choices implicit in the website — heading hierarchy, the proportion of weight to whitespace, the way colors are paired, the voice of the headline copy — and freezes them as a print artifact. Months later, when someone asks what the secondary brand color is or how the logo should sit next to a person's name, the template is one of the places it can be looked up. That makes it a small but useful reference point for teams that have outgrown a single founder's taste but have not yet hired a designer.

Frequently asked questions

How is a template different from a normal generation?

Every successful Kleido generation is saved as a template by default. The "template" framing matters when you want to share or reuse it; the underlying object is the same.

Can teammates edit my template directly?

Sharing a template link gives view access. Teammates can clone it into their own account and edit their copy without changing yours.

Can I lock fields so they cannot be changed?

You can use auto identity mode to let the AI pick fields, or custom mode to specify which fields are editable. Custom mode is the right choice for team-wide templates.

How many templates can I save?

There is no fixed cap for normal individual use. Templates persist in your account and can be revisited or deleted at any time.

Are template URLs private?

The slug is unguessable, so a template link is effectively private until you share it. Anyone with the link can view the template; only you can edit your copy of it.
