What is Deck Builder?

Deck Builder is a free Android app for creating, managing, shuffling, and drawing from any card deck. It works for trading card games, board games, tarot and oracle readings, and tabletop miniatures.

Is Deck Builder free?

Yes. Deck Builder is free to download and completely ad-free. An optional Pro subscription unlocks extra features, but the core deck management, shuffle, and draw features are free.

Can I scan my own physical cards?

Yes. You can scan physical cards with your phone camera, import images from your gallery, or design cards yourself, then organize them into custom decks.

Does Deck Builder work offline?

Which card games does Deck Builder support?

Can I share decks with friends?

Yes. You can export a deck with all its images and settings and import it on another device, making it easy to share decks with friends and communities.

Can I import a deck from a CSV or JSON file?

Yes. Deck Builder 3.5.0 can import a whole deck from a CSV spreadsheet or a JSON file, with a column mapper that lets you choose which column becomes which card field. See the CSV and JSON import guide for the full format.

What is a card deck simulator?

A card deck simulator is an app that recreates a physical deck of cards on your phone, so you can shuffle, draw, and deal without the real cards. Deck Builder is a free card deck simulator for Android that works with any deck: trading card games, tarot, or board games.

Can Deck Builder deal cards to players?

Yes. Deck Builder works as a card dealer: shuffle any deck of cards and deal hands to yourself or to several players, either by drawing to each hand or using Pass & Play so every player gets their own cards on one phone.

How do I deal cards to a second or third hand?

First give your deck more than one hand: open the deck, go to Deck Settings, find the Hand Cards section, and raise the number of hands. Then, on the play screen, a normal tap on the draw button deals to the current hand, so every card goes to Hand 1 by default. To send a card to Hand 2 or Hand 3, long-press (tap and hold) the draw button and pick the hand you want. Your choice becomes the default for the next taps. For full hot-seat multiplayer where each player has their own board, use Pass & Play instead.

Can I create a virtual deck of cards?

Yes. Deck Builder lets you build a virtual deck of cards from scratch by scanning physical cards, importing images, or designing cards in the app. Your digital decks are saved on your device and can be shuffled and drawn from offline.

Is there a free online card shuffler?

Deck Builder is a free card shuffler for Android that shuffles any deck in one tap with a fair, truly random algorithm. Unlike a one-off browser shuffler, it remembers your custom decks so you can reshuffle and draw from them any time, even without internet.

Can I make my own print-and-play or custom card game?

Yes. You can design your own cards in Deck Builder, organize them into a deck, and export it to share or play. It is a handy way to prototype a print-and-play or custom card game before you print it. See the guide to making your own card game.
