How it works
The generator shuffles your items to create unique cards, then lays them out for printing. You can add a free center square, include a call sheet, and number cards for easy tracking.
What you can choose
- Grid size (3×3, 4×4, 5×5)
- Free center square toggle
- Number of cards and cards per page
- Paper size and call sheet option
What you can print
- Unique printable bingo cards
- Optional call sheet
- Numbered cards (optional)
- Print‑ready PDF layout
Try this quick example
- Paste 30–40 items (for a 5×5 card with a free center).
- Choose 25 cards and 2 cards per page.
- Enable the call sheet so you can run the game easily.
- Download the PDF and print at 100% scale.
Tips for better bingo sets
- Use short, readable items so text fits in each square.
- Include extra items to reduce repeated cards.
- Print one test page before bulk printing.
Limits to keep in mind
Very long phrases can wrap and reduce readability. If a card looks crowded, shorten items or switch to a larger paper size.
FAQs
Quick answers
How many items do I need?
You need at least 9 items for 3×3, 16 for 4×4, and 24 for 5×5 when the free centre is on (25 if it is off).
Can I make multiple cards at once?
Yes. Choose 1–200 cards and the PDF will generate unique cards with no duplicates within each card.
What is a free centre square?
It is a pre-filled middle square on 5×5 cards that acts as a wildcard, so players can mark it immediately.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The generator runs in your browser and lets you download a print-ready PDF on mobile or desktop.
Should I choose A4 or Letter?
Pick the paper size you plan to print. A4 is standard in the UK/EU, Letter is common in the US.
Can I reuse the same set later?
Yes. Enter the same seed and item list to recreate the exact same set of cards.
