Already have a punched card?

Generate from card code

The dashed number printed below the cards on your stencil: seed codes start with 1, passphrase codes with 2. You get the stencil, reader, BIP-39 wordlist and ASCII table for that card's whole set.

Card properties

Width × height of your metal card blank, in millimeters.

Advanced options

Blank margin around the punch grid inside the card. More padding means a safer distance from the edge.

Preview

Print multiple identical stencils if you're punching more than one backup card set.

Advanced options

Rows of words per card, useful for taller cards.

Store each word as its 4-letter prefix, its BIP-39 index digits (0–9), or as an 11-column binary punch pattern. Binary needs the fewest punches and fits best on very small metal plates.
