# Creating player cards

The player card is the branded header at the top of every profile. It includes the photo, name, headline, positions, sport-specific fields, and (in Recruit Mode) an above-the-fold recruiting identity block.

## Where the player card appears

* The **Player Profile** tab in the player workspace.
* The public profile page shared via link.
* Print/PDF exports (Recruit Mode).

## Build or update a player card

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the player">
    Go to your organization, choose **Players**, and select the player.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch to Manage Player">
    Use the **Manage Player** tab to see the card management controls.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add or change the profile photo">
    Select **Add profile photo** or **Change profile photo**. Upload, crop, remove, or (on eligible plans) AI-enhance the image. See [Uploading a profile picture](/player-profiles/profile-picture).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit player details">
    Select **Edit player profile** to update the name, jersey number, birthdate, positions, bats/throws, sport-specific fields, headline, and public summary.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Style the name and headline">
    Use the **Player name** and **Public headline** style controls to set the appearance of those elements on the card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose profile access">
    Set **Profile access** to **Public** or **Private**. Only public cards appear on the shareable profile URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on Recruit Mode (optional)">
    Enable Recruit Mode to add a recruiting identity block, awards, and share/print/follow actions. See [Player modes](/viewing-player-pages/player-modes).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the profile. The card updates on both the workspace and the public page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Share or publish the card

When the profile is public, use the card's **Share profile** action (Development mode) or the **share**, **print/PDF**, and **follow** actions (Recruit Mode) to distribute the page.

<Tip>
  A clear head-and-shoulders photo, an accurate headline, and up-to-date positions make the card scannable to coaches and recruiters in seconds.
