Retirement Card Maker

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 retirement 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.

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. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. Nothing about the retirement 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. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. This applies to the retirement card maker exactly as described, and the settings are remembered while you work.

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 retirement 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. That holds for the retirement 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. Everything described here applies to the retirement card specifically, not just to the site in general.

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 retirement 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. Everything described here applies to the retirement 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.
