Use these free printable cards to print out and your own tarot deck, with all 22 cards of the major arcana and 56 cards of the minor arcana to create a full deck.
We have a full set of tarot cards with beautiful modern designs, or you can download and use the traditional Rider Waite deck, or download customisable blank tarot cards to color.
Whichever different printable tarot deck you go for, tarot is a powerful tool and is gaining more and more popularity.
Printing and Putting Together Your Own Deck
Download your chosen tarot deck in PDF format below.
For best results, print onto card stock. If you want to, you can also laminate them for durability.
I personally prefer using just a good quality card stock rather than laminated card as I prefer the matte texture, but it’s up to you.
The full set of printable tarot cards comes as a 10 page file with 8 cards per page, giving you cards the size of average play cards.
The reverse side is blank, if you don’t want the plain white color there you can add a patterned card stock or scrapbook paper on the reverse side, which will also add extra thickness.
You will need to cut the cards apart, carefully to avoid sharp edges. For a perfect straight cut you can use a guillotine cutting tool, or cricut cutting machine. And, once you have your 78 tarot cards cut out, you can lightly sand the edges if you feel like they need it, using a nail file.

If you prefer, download the Rider Waite tarot deck. This deck is what you might consider “regular tarot cards.” It is the original deck of tarot cards, in the format that we use today and this deck is now in the public domain.
The Rider Waite deck was created in 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite with illustrator Pamela Colman Smith. A. E. Waite was a British poet and mystic, and although he created this original deck, tarot cards in one format or another have been around much longer. You can find out more about the history of tarot, and read about tarot myths debunked here.
This is the most popular tarot deck that you see everywhere, and many other tarot decks have illustrations which took inspiration from this deck, so the cultural significance of this particular deck is huge.
You can get a copy of these cards as a printable version in the PDF download below.
Color Your Own Tarot
If you want to make your own tarot cards using your own colors and designs, we have a set of tarot coloring pages that you can use to create some of your own designs, rather than using the ready-coloured set.
This is also a free download. Go download our tarot coloring pages here and make a new tarot deck that is uniquely your own.
Note: The tarot coloring page pack only has the major Arcana cards included. So, use these as a starting point and to complete the full deck you’ll need to either combine with one of our other such printable tarot decks above (the Rider Waite or the modern deck) or use blank tarot cards and fill in all of the cards of the 4 suites of the minor arcana.

Hi I love your deck, but so far as I can tell it’s missing all of the 3’s, I would really love to complete the deck if possible! Thank you again, Kelsey
Thank you so much for noticing that, I am fixing it right now – so sorry!
I want to say a huge thank you for these amazing, thoughtful cards. They are exactly what I have been looking for, and I’m absolutely thrilled and blown away by your cards! They are so harmonious and so beautiful and so personal, they are the pips with feeling I’ve been dreaming of. I adore the colour coded backgrounds, the natural elements, the animals and the hands, I adore the sweet and gentle energy in these cards, I absolutely love the art style and the fantastic way you’ve combined all of the clues as to the energy of each card. I appreciate how deep these cards are, yet how gently playful they are at the same time.
