More room, without becoming a full page.
Four by six is the practical recipe-box default: large enough for readable steps, small enough to keep beside the stove. The editor opens in the correct landscape size.

Format guide
Why 4 x 6 is the everyday choice.
The extra inch in each direction gives wrapped ingredients and sensory cooking cues room to breathe. It also produces a useful image for messages and digital collections.
Exact-size PDF
Download a six-by-four-inch landscape file for 4x6 card stock.
Two per Letter sheet
The print-sheet PDF places two actual-size cards with crop marks for easy cutting.
Printing questions
Before the first test sheet.
Is 4x6 better than 3x5 for recipe cards?
For most recipes, yes. A 4x6 card is easier to read and fits longer ingredient names and method steps. Use 3x5 when compact storage matters more.
Can I print two 4x6 cards on one Letter page?
Yes. Choose Letter print sheet and Crumb places two actual-size 4x6 cards vertically with crop marks.
Can I download the 4x6 card as an image?
Yes. PNG preserves the 3:2 card ratio and works well for messages or a digital recipe collection.
