Questions About Card Maker Tool
Will I need an account to keep making card cards?
After you have made a few cards you will be invited to create an account. Signing in keeps your work available on the devices you use, so you can come back to an unfinished card card and carry on exactly where you left off rather than starting again. Your cards and any photograph you add are held on your own device rather than on our servers, so signing in identifies you without moving your work anywhere. It takes a moment, and every design, size and export option stays exactly as it was.
Can I change the font and text size for app?
Yes. Every line has its own font and size control, so the occasion label, the heading, the main message, the closing wish and your name can each be set separately rather than following one template. There are seven typefaces and six sizes. All of the typefaces are standard system fonts, so there is nothing to download and no licensing restriction on anything you create. Changes appear on the live preview immediately. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export.
Can I add my own photo for app?
You can, and the photograph never leaves your device. That is a deliberate design choice rather than a limitation: photographs on cards are usually of family, and uploading them to a stranger's server to make a greeting card is an unnecessary risk. Position and zoom the image inside its frame, and replace or remove it at any point without losing your wording. Everything described here applies to the card maker tool specifically, not just to the site in general. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like.
Can I print what I make for app?
Printing works well once two settings are right: print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale the page, and flip on the short edge when printing both sides. The exported PDF already has the fold line and panel positions worked out. Card stock feeds differently from paper in most home printers, so one test sheet before using the good stock is worth the minute it takes. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like.
What sizes can I export with the app?
There are three families of size: digital, one page print and folded. Digital sizes are cut to the proportions the major messaging and social apps expect, which avoids the awkward cropping you get from a generic square. Print and folded sizes export at print resolution as a PDF. Switching between them mid way costs you nothing, since the wording and design carry across. Everything described here applies to the card maker tool specifically, not just to the site in general. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like.
Do I need to sign up before I start for app?
None at all. You can begin immediately and only create an account once you have made several cards. Because everything happens locally, your work stays on the device you made it on, which also means clearing your browser data will clear an unfinished card. Export anything you want to keep rather than relying on it being there tomorrow. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export.
What does the card maker tool cost?
There is no catch. Nothing is held back for a paid plan. That covers every design, every size, folded card layouts and full resolution export. The finished card maker tool carries no branding of ours, so what you hand over or send looks like something you made rather than something a tool made for you. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like.
