Images, PDFs, and Proxxied

Import your deck and customize card art on Proxxied, then export high-DPI prints with optional upscaling.

Quick Start: Import Deck and Customize on Proxxied

Visit proxxied.com to import your deck list and customize card art. When ready to export, use bleed edge as it takes minimal extra time and gives you more precise cutting.

You can also use that same list to continue with advanced workflows using Proxxied's export features.

Proxxied: Import deck and customize card art

Add cards and customize art on Proxxied

Import and Customize Your Deck:

  1. Paste or import your deck list into Proxxied, or use MPCFill to get high-DPI images.
  2. Click on any card to change its art to your preferred version.
  3. Arrange your cards in the layout grid as desired.
  4. Set your bleed edge preferences for clean cutting.

Configure Proxxied for Optimal Results

Proxxied offers flexible configuration options to ensure your proxy cards print perfectly. Here are the key settings to optimize:

  • Set your preferred paper size and margins in the layout settings.
  • Configure bleed edge settings — handy if your cuts aren't 100% precise or when printing double‑sided cards to avoid white edges.
  • Enable cut markers for easier card separation.
  • Consider setting 1px guide width for better visibility when cutting.

Printing

  • When ready, click Export to PDF.
  • Open the PDF in your preferred PDF viewer or printer software.
  • Make sure to print at 100% scaling (no fit to page).
  • Use the system print dialog to adjust any final settings.

Create a Two‑Sided Cards (Front/Back Alignment)

For manual duplex printing where you flip the paper yourself, build two PDFs (fronts then backs) with matching positions.

  1. Create your FRONT sheet: import or place the first‑side images in any order (e.g., 1 → 9 across the 3×3 grid) and export a PDF.
  2. Create your BACK sheet: add the second sides using the same row logic - you can simply drag them where you need them:
    • Row 1: (1 ↔ 3) and (2 ↔ 2) and (3 ↔ 1)
    • Row 2: (4 ↔ 6) and (5 ↔ 5) and (6 ↔ 4)
    • Row 3: (7 ↔ 9) and (8 ↔ 8) and (9 ↔ 7)
    This places the back of each card opposite its front after the page is flipped on the short edge.
  3. Print the FRONT PDF, flip the stack consistently, then print the BACK PDF. Use identical margins, bleed, and scale on both prints.

Get High-DPI Images with MPCFill (Recommended)

For the best printing results with high-DPI images, we recommend using MPCFill.com Editor. This is the preferred method as it provides high-quality, print-ready card images and saves significant time compared to manually creating orders.

Import from Deck Sites

You can directly import decks from these popular sites:

  • Aetherhub
  • Archidekt
  • CubeCobra
  • Deckstats
  • MagicVille
  • ManaStack
  • Moxfield
  • MTGGoldfish
  • Scryfall
  • TappedOut
  • TCGPlayer

Go to the editor and click Add Cards → Link from the editor to import directly.

Alternative: Text List Method

Create a simple text list with the format: Quantity Card Name (each card on a new line).

1 Sol Ring
4 Counterspell
2 Rhystic Study
20 Swamp

Go to the editor and click Add Cards → Text to paste your list.

Select Your Artwork

The site will display each card from your list. Many cards have multiple art versions available - click through the images to select your favorite for each one.

Download Your XML File

Once you've selected all your artwork, click the "Download" button. This will generate and save an XML file to your computer containing all the information and image links for your order.

Import into Proxxied

In Proxxied:

  1. Click Choose File under Import MPC Text (XML)
  2. Select your downloaded XML file
  3. Proxxied will generate your deck with high-DPI images
  4. Then you can export to PDF as usual

This method ensures you get the highest quality card images available, resulting in the best possible print results.

Advanced: Upscale Your Cards for Better DPI

  1. On Proxxied: Click Export Card Images (.zip)and extract the ZIP file to an empty folder.
  2. Open Upscayl, switch to Batch Mode, select that folder, choose your model, and Upscayl.
  3. Back in Proxxied: Use the Upload Other Images button to upload the upscaled images (Upload MPC Images is for images that already have bleed).
  4. Tip: You may want to break the images into sets of 9 as uploading too many at once can crash the browser.

More Tools: Build PDFs and Trim Bleed

  • print-proxy-prep— desktop utility to crop away bleed from card images (including Proxyshop renders) and assemble printable PDFs. Great for quick, at‑home jobs. See repo for setup.
  • ProxyPrint (web)— online builder to arrange images into sheets and export a PDF.

Both tools complement Proxxied—use whichever fits your workflow for advanced layouts or custom card processing.
