@DarrelHoffman & Eric, yeah, I was just wondering because apart from the art of the face cards, Glorfindel's set looks pretty much like this one :) The artwork here is the one I've most commonly seen, so perhaps more standard in a way. I thought I've also heard the "standard" cards being called French playing cards and [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_52-card_deck) does seem to at least imply a connection too, mentioning "a standard 52-card deck of French playing cards". Though of course you could have shorter decks with the French suits and similar images, too.

I all reality the look of the fronts of the cards are almost irrelevant -- you could just have a child's drawing on them. What's super important though is that the backs look exactly alike to the pixel. That won't be trivial with a home printer, for example because of alignment issues.

If you want to use these images for anything other than a personal project that you're not distributing to anyone or putting on the internet, you might also have to worry about licensing. You can't just freely reuse any image you find on the internet.

The deck linked by @username_13 is for French playing cards.

Here's a [link](https://code.google.com/archive/p/vector-playing-cards/) to poker playing cards, in [PNG](https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/vector-playing-cards/PNG-cards-1.3.zip) or [SVG](https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/vector-playing-cards/SVG-cards-1.3.zip) format.

Poker cards are wider than French ones. This design is used by many decks, e.g. [Bicycle Playing Cards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_Playing_Cards), and will typically be the one you see in movies or at the casino.
