Greeting card maker

Use the greeting card maker for an occasion, then make every change visible

This greeting card maker is the general home for neutral greetings, Thanksgiving, summer messages and neutral holiday designs. A template supplies an authored background, decorations and an intentional starting arrangement. It is a starting scene, not a locked image: edit the words, select a layer, move it, resize it, rotate it, change opacity, reorder it, duplicate it or remove it. The selected template and output canvas remain visible so a convenient preset never becomes hidden state.

Birthday and Christmas are separate destinations because people seek those jobs directly and expect the relevant family first. Use the birthday card maker for birthday-specific artwork, or the Christmas card maker for Christmas and neutral holiday starts. Thanksgiving and summer stay here as template families rather than thin routes with nearly identical controls.

Add a photo or logo without stretching it

A personal photo can be placed with contain or cover. Contain keeps the complete image and may leave space around it. Cover fills its frame and can crop an edge, so horizontal and vertical focus decide which part survives. Both preserve the source aspect ratio. A face, product or handwritten mark must not become wider merely because the card uses a different canvas shape.

A supported local logo becomes another visible layer. Transparency, order and opacity matter when a mark overlaps a decoration or photograph, which is why the editor exposes those choices instead of baking the logo into a template. Source bytes are inspected rather than trusted from a renamed extension. Unsupported animation or unsafe vector content must produce an explicit result instead of silently flattening the wrong frame or markup.

Output presets describe files, not where they are published

The dated presets are social square at 1080 by 1080, social portrait at 1080 by 1350, social story at 1080 by 1920, social landscape and blog hero at 1200 by 630, email header at 660 by 220, and email signature at 600 by 200 pixels. They do not promise that every feed, newsletter client, signature, theme or inbox will display the file identically. Those products may resize, recompress, crop or block images. Custom dimensions begin at 64 pixels, and a ratio change remains a visible scene operation.

PNG is useful for crisp text, flat color and transparency in imported layers before the final scene is composed. JPEG can reduce bytes for photo-heavy artwork but is lossy. The result receipt names the exact canvas, format, quality, layer state and reopened byte size. The preview and export come from the same declarative scene so the downloadable artifact is not a second, approximate template. Text uses the pinned DejaVu Sans Mono 2.37.3 outline path in both browser engines, without an operating-system fallback. A missing glyph is shown as unsupported rather than replaced by a device-dependent font.

A clean digital card is the product boundary

CreatorValet does not add a mandatory watermark. A credit line can only be an explicit opt-in layer that is visible before export, and it is off by default. The ordinary result is a clean PNG or JPEG containing the scene you reviewed. There are no remote Pro elements, stock searches or hidden licensed decorations that later block a download.

The maker does not send an email, publish to social media, host an ecard URL or place a print order. It also makes no claim about folds, bleed, trim, paper, envelopes or physical color. Download first, then attach or place the resulting file in the separate channel you control. If a service has a byte limit, use the image compressor on the reviewed export as a distinct step rather than hiding extra quality loss in the card editor.

This is a greeting layer editor, not an OG or screenshot tool

The OG image generator owns a fixed headline, eyebrow and site-label composition for page metadata. The screenshot beautifier frames one already finished screenshot with padding, corners and shadow. Greeting cards instead use authored occasion templates, personal wording, photo and logo layers, free placement and several intended output proportions. Shared canvas mathematics do not make those user intentions interchangeable.

Your personal design remains in this browser tab

Photo bytes, logo bytes, text, positions, crop focus and generated files are processed locally. They are not placed in the URL, browser storage, analytics or an upload request. Bundled template art and self-hosted fonts are product assets with pinned rights and hashes; they do not turn your family photo into a remote request. Cancel, replacement and Start over invalidate stale decoding and rendering work before another design is accepted.

Local creation protects the editing step, not the destination you later choose. Anyone who receives a public card can copy its visible names, faces or logo. Review the reopened result before sharing and use the local-processing verification guide if you want to inspect the network boundary yourself. Animation, video, AI imagery and hosted delivery remain outside this version rather than appearing as unverified promises.
