How to print and fold it

Plain printer paper works. Card stock in the 65 to 80 lb range feels like a store card and still feeds through most home printers.

Quarter-fold, 4.25 x 5.5 in

  1. Print the PDF on one side of a US Letter sheet at 100% scale ("Actual size", not "Fit to page").
  2. Fold the sheet in half from top to bottom, printed side out. The small marks at the edges show where.
  3. Fold it in half again so the front design faces out and the fold is on its left. Write inside, sign it, done.

Half-fold, 5 x 7 in

  1. Print both pages on one sheet, two-sided, at 100% scale, flipping on the short edge. No two-sided printing? Print page 1, then feed the same sheet back in for page 2. Try it on plain paper first to learn which way your printer feeds.
  2. Cut on the corner marks with scissors or a paper trimmer. You end up with a 10 x 7 inch piece.
  3. Fold it in half on the center marks. That is a 5 x 7 card for a standard A7 envelope.

Frequently asked questions

Are these get well cards really free?

Yes. Every card on this page is a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark. Print as many as you need.

Can I download all the get well cards at once?

Yes. The ZIP button gives you one print-ready PDF per card, 4 files in all, in either paper format. It is built on your device.

Are these right for a serious illness?

They are written for ordinary bad weeks: a broken ankle, the flu, a minor surgery. For a serious diagnosis, a plain handwritten note usually lands better than a joke.

Who writes the jokes?

Options are drafted with AI tools, and a person picks and edits each card before it is published here. Drafts that do not make the cut never become cards.

Can I add a name or my own message?

Write it by hand inside the printed card, or use the card generator to make a card with their name and your own words on it.
