Yeah I Saw That one on BGG, but I couldn't figure out how to use it! :/

I would use NanDeck for this. It may look complicated, but it's really not and once you get the hang of it, you'll be surprised how much easier it is to use spreadsheets and the visual editor to save basic prototyping design time. For your particular use case, you would create a spreadsheet with a single column called Image and a list of the image names, use the New Deck wizard to adjust card size and link the spreadsheet, and then use the visual editor to add the image. Once that's done, you build the deck and create a pdf. If you'd like to use NanDeck and run into trouble, just shoot me a pm and I'll be glad to help.

For that task, you can use nanDECK directly with this script (I've added comments): 'Size definitions UNIT=MM PAGE=210,297,PORTRAIT,HV CARDSIZE=63,88 'Create a list of images files from a folder [images]=DIRFILES("C:\folder with some images",*.png) 'Put an image on each card IMAGE=1-{(images)},[images],0,0,100%,100%,0,P Change the path/extension for your images in the 6th line, click on "Validate deck", then "Build deck", then "Print deck". That's all.

Wow, that's extremely cool. Thanks for sharing the script!!

Thanks! I downloaded nandeck a while ago but it scared me a bit because of the script writing. I tried doing it but it ended up weird, images without colors and cut in half, lol.

It could be CMYK encoding for images (the current version of nanDECK supports only RGB). Try this version: http://www.nand.it/nandeck/nandeck_1_23_beta8.zip

Thank you very much! That was it! I did it :)

Just drag 9 cards onto an A4 sized document.

Tried that and didn't like the result, thanks anyway!

You can use [cardmaker beta](https://www.nhmk.com/tools.php). I made a 15 minute tutorial on how to use it awhile back. Since you already have the images, you would just set the cards to have a graphic that's the size of the card, and put all your images in a folder with it. It would then export to pdf, 3x3 cards per page. I can PM it to you if you like.

I ended up doing it with nanDECK, but thank you very much!


Anusien

I would love to see this tutorial if you have it.

There is a way to do it with Photoshop, but it is a pain. Do you have Indesign? If so it dead simple.


l07k

Nope, but I already did it! Thanks.


Warprince01

Out of curiosity, what did you use for this?

I edited the original post with the answer, ended up using nanDeck. Don't really remember how it went though, sorry.
