Card Maker Messages Tool

Creating an account is asked for after several cards, and it exists to protect your work rather than to gate the tool. Once signed in you can leave a card card unfinished, close the tab, and resume later without losing the wording, the design or the settings you had chosen. Your files remain on your own device throughout. Nothing about the designs, the sizes or the export formats changes once you have an account.

No. Nothing you export carries a watermark, a logo or any reference to this site, at any size or in any format. That includes the PDF export, which on many comparable tools is where branding is added or resolution is reduced. What you download is the card exactly as you designed it, ready to print or send without anything to crop out first. 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. Nothing about the card maker is fixed: wording, design, size and the font of each line can all be changed before export.

Each line is controlled independently, which is the difference between a template and a design tool. You can make the heading large and the sign off small, or set the message in a different face from the title. The seven typefaces are all standard system fonts, chosen deliberately so that nothing needs downloading and nothing carries a licence restriction onto the cards you make. Everything described here applies to the card 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.

Yes, and you can reposition or zoom it inside the frame until it sits how you want. The image is processed entirely in your browser and never reaches our servers, so it stays private to you and to whoever receives the card. Because the card is redrawn from raw image data rather than embedding the original file, location information stored inside the photograph does not carry through to the export. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. On the card maker specifically, the preview redraws as you change anything, so the result is never a surprise.

Yes. Choose a folded size or an one page print size and the tool exports a print ready PDF laid out correctly for home printing. Print at actual size or one hundred percent rather than fit to page, or the margins shift and the fold lands in the wrong place. For double sided printing choose landscape orientation and flip on the short edge. Test on plain paper first, because printer settings vary between machines. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. That holds for the card maker at every size, from a shareable image through to a folded print layout.

Digital sizes for sharing, one page print sizes, and folded sizes including A4 folded to A5, A5 folded to A6 and US Letter. The digital dimensions match the shapes used by messaging and social apps so the result is not cropped awkwardly. Print sizes export as a PDF at print resolution rather than screen resolution. You can change size at any point without losing your wording, and the preview redraws to the exact shape you choose. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. Everything here is available on the card maker without a sign up, a watermark or a paid tier.

Yes. The layout adapts to phone screens, with the card preview and the step navigation staying in view while you scroll through the controls beneath. You can write, design, preview and export entirely from a phone, including adding a photograph from your camera roll. Printing from a phone depends on your printer app, so for folded cards a laptop is usually easier at the final step. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. The card maker behaves the same way whether you are printing it or sending it, apart from the export format.
