- Pick a wish: click one of the 10 wish buttons (classic, love, family, friendship, colleague, teacher…). The text goes into the message box so you can edit it.
- Write the content: edit the heading, add the recipient and sender, and change the message as you like, up to 400 characters. Press Enter for a new line.
- Style it: choose the text color, a Modern, Classic or Handwritten font, and turn the text backdrop on or off so the words stand out on the image.
- Download: press Download card (PNG). The image is landscape with a 3:2 ratio and at least 1200 px wide, sharp enough to share on WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook or to print.

✨ Tips for a better card
- Keep the recipient’s name short (for example “Mom” or “Emma”) so the “To” line fits on one row.
- Long messages shrink automatically to fit; around 100–250 characters reads best.
- Use black or navy text on light backgrounds, and white or gold text on dark ones.
- The Handwritten font suits romantic cards; the Classic font suits cards for teachers and grandparents.
- Add emoji such as 🎂 🎉 💖 to your message; they appear in the downloaded image too.
