Pokémon TCG binder planning and placeholders
Pokébinder is a browser-based organizer for Pokémon TCG collectors who want to plan physical binder pages before buying or rearranging cards. It lets users search card data, place cards into 3×3 layouts, and preview pages as a digital binder.
The tool also turns an unfinished page into a practical want list: cards marked as not owned can be printed as true-size placeholders for standard binder pockets. Users can test how a page will look, keep the placeholder in position until the real card is found, and use their own artwork as a single-pocket, spanning, or full-page background.
Core features
3×3 binder page planning
Place cards into 3×3 pages, move them by dragging or tapping, and preview the binder as a page-turning spread on desktop or as swipeable pages on a phone.
Spanning artwork layouts
Use an image in one pocket, across two or three pockets in a row or column, or behind a complete page with cards on top. The image can be zoomed and repositioned before printing.
True-size missing-card placeholders
Mark cards as not owned and print only those cards at true Pokémon card size, with dashed cut guides. Artwork used on the page is printed in alignment with the card guides.
Owned and missing-card tracking
Keep a placeholder in the same pocket until the real card is acquired, so buying a card does not require rearranging the rest of the page.
Practical use cases
Planning a new binder page
Build a themed or set-based page digitally, compare card positions and artwork, and make layout changes before purchasing cards or moving them in a physical binder.
Tracking cards to buy
Mark cards that are still missing and print inserts that occupy their exact pockets. The page then doubles as a visual want list at card shows or while shopping.
Making art-led binder spreads
Create a connected visual page by carrying personal artwork across a row, column, several pockets, or the full 3×3 layout, then print the artwork with the card guides.
Sharing a binder search visually
Use placeholders to keep an incomplete page readable for family members or newer collectors who identify cards by their pictures, not by set symbols or collector numbers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Free to use with no account, ads, or print watermark.
- Prints missing cards at true 6.3 × 8.8 cm size with cut guides for A4 or US Letter sheets.
- Supports card layouts with custom artwork across pockets or behind a full page.
- Lets collectors preview a page and preserve pocket positions while filling missing cards over time.
Cons
- The binder is stored in the local browser today, so clearing browser data removes it; cloud saving is listed as a future feature.
- The current format is limited to 3×3 pages; 4-pocket and 16-pocket sizes are planned rather than available today.
- Japanese cards support name and set search, while artist search is currently available for English cards only.
FAQ
How do I get started, and where is my binder saved?
No. Pokébinder runs in a browser, requires no installation or account, and stores the binder in the browser. Clearing browser data clears the binder because there is no cloud save today.
What is the basic workflow?
Search for a card, place it on a 3×3 page, arrange the page, and mark cards you do not own. The print output includes only the marked missing cards, along with any spanning artwork used on the page.
How do I print placeholders at the correct size?
Print at 100% scale or Actual size, with Fit to page and Shrink oversized pages disabled. Placeholders measure 6.3 × 8.8 cm, include dashed cut guides, and print nine cards per A4 or US Letter sheet.
Will the printed placeholders fit my binder, and what paper should I use?
Yes. They are intended for standard trading-card pockets, including 9-pocket binders. Plain paper works; 160–250 gsm card stock is suggested when you want a stiffer insert. A test sheet is recommended before printing a full binder.
Are the outputs proxies, and what search limitations apply?
No. A placeholder is for filling an empty binder pocket until the real card is found. It is not intended for play, resale, or presentation as a genuine card. English artist search is currently supported, while Japanese search supports card name and set.
