Christmas Card Maker

You can start straight away, and after a few cards you will be asked to create an account. The reason is continuity: signing in lets you return to a christmas card you left half finished and pick it up on the same footing, instead of rebuilding it from scratch. What it does not do is move your work off your device. Cards and photographs stay where you made them, and the account simply recognises you when you come back.

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. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. That holds for the christmas card maker at every size, from a shareable image through to a folded print layout.

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. Everything described here applies to the christmas card specifically, not just to the site in general.

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. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. The christmas card maker behaves the same way whether you are printing it or sending it, apart from the export format.

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.

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 christmas card 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. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export.

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. Everything described here applies to the christmas card specifically, not just to the site in general.

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.
