The most common tarot card size is 2.75 × 4.75 inches (70 × 120mm). This is the industry standard used by major publishers including U.S. Games Systems, Lo Scarabeo, and Llewellyn. Most Deckaura tarot decks also use this standard dimension.

Standard playing cards measure 2.5 × 3.5 inches (poker size). Tarot cards are taller to accommodate the detailed artwork, symbolism, and text that make each card a complete interpretive tool. The extra height provides more canvas for the rich imagery that readers rely on during readings.
Beyond dimensions, card thickness matters for durability and shuffling feel. Premium decks use 300-350gsm cardstock with a linen or matte finish. Our tarot decks use premium cardstock with a matte finish for a luxurious handling experience that lasts through years of readings.
