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. Fifteen backgrounds are shown as thumbnails, and picking one draws the card immediately with a greeting already set in type chosen for that background. It is a starting scene, not a locked image. Select a layer in the list or on the card, drag it into place, and use the size, angle and fade sliders. The layer list is one row per layer: drag its grip to restack, or focus the grip and press the up and down arrows, and duplicate or delete from the same row. Every exact coordinate — position, width, height, rotation, opacity and crop focus — is a visible slider rather than a number hidden behind a disclosure, and each one drives the value the renderer actually consumes.

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 artwork. Thanksgiving and summer stay here as template families rather than thin routes with nearly identical controls.

Add as many images as the card needs, without stretching them

One picker takes every image, and PNG, JPEG, WebP and static SVG all go through it. There is no photo slot and no separate logo slot, because a photograph and a company mark are the same thing to the part of the program that draws them: a picture in a box, with a fit, a focus and an opacity. Each image you choose becomes its own layer, named after the file it came from, and it opens in the picture's own proportions rather than a fixed rectangle you then have to correct. Choosing a second image adds a second layer instead of replacing the first, which is what a card with two children on it requires.

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 transparent mark is simply one of those layers. Transparency, order and opacity matter when it overlaps a decoration or photograph, which is why the editor exposes those choices instead of baking the mark 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.

Objects and type are picked, not generated

The object drawer holds 20 cut-out WebP illustrations — hearts, stars, envelopes, flowers, leaves and dimensional pieces — searchable by name and grouped by category. Each one has a real alpha channel, so it sits on a photograph without a white box around it, and it becomes an ordinary layer you can drag, rotate, fade and restack. Forty type faces are available, every one of them under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 or Apache 2.0, self-hosted and shipped beside its own license file. The picker shows each name drawn in its own face, so you can read the list without downloading forty fonts; only the face you choose is fetched.

Nothing here is produced by a model while you work. The backgrounds and objects were generated once, before release, and checked into the site as fixed files with published SHA-256 hashes. The editor and the renderer never call a model, an image service or any other network endpoint, which is what lets the same scene produce the same bytes twice.

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. Create image file runs the render, and the finished file lists its exact dimensions, format, quality, byte size and the fact that it was reopened and re-measured before you were offered the download. The preview and export come from the same declarative scene so the downloadable artifact is not a second, approximate template. Text is drawn from the outline of the font you picked, self-hosted and pinned by hash, in both browser engines and without an operating-system fallback. Not every face covers every accent, so the editor names any character the selected font cannot draw before you render rather than after.

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, image generation on demand and hosted delivery remain outside this version rather than appearing as unverified promises.
