A collector, a printer, and one very small helper
About Pokébinder
Pokébinder (pokebinder.xyz) is a free binder planner for Pokémon TCG collectors: plan your pages, add your own art, and print true-size placeholders for the cards you do not own yet.
Made by Vinicius, a collector and developer. In the works since March 2026, and live at pokebinder.xyz since August 2026.
How it started
My daughter was four and wanted in on the hobby. At card shows she could not read set symbols or collector numbers, but she could match pictures. So I started printing the cards I was still missing at real card size and slotting them into the binder pages. She would walk the show comparing the page to what was on the tables, and she would spot cards before I did — helping, and completely into it.
It solved my problem too. A page with three empty pockets looks unfinished for months while you hunt the last card, and a printed one holds the place until the real card turns up. The gaps stop being gaps and become a want list that already sits in the binder. Pokébinder is that, as a tool.

Why it exists
Every binder raises two questions: how will this page look, and what am I still missing? Pokébinder answers both before you spend anything — you build the page on screen, try layouts, and only then decide what to buy.
Where the card data comes from
English cards come from pokemontcg.io, with TCGdex as a backup. Japanese cards come from the open-source PTCG-database project by Weihang Ren, used under the MIT licence and kept current from our own fork; their images are served by pokemon-card.com. Pokébinder adds the layout, the search and the printing.
How it is paid for
Pokébinder is free, with no account and no ads. Optional tips and some affiliate buy links help pay for hosting and card data.
