Style each text area

Use dark text on pale areas and light text on dark areas. Effects are optional. Long text fits down automatically; shorten it if the editor warns that it does not fit.

Quick front styling

Long greetings fit down automatically. Shorten the wording if it still does not fit.

Card size & printing

No bleed is safest for home printing. Bleed extends the background only. Some printers cannot print all crop marks.

PNG, JPG, and Card PDF save the front. The paper-size PDF includes both sides when Folded card is selected. Print at 100% or Actual size; turn off Fit to page. Test on plain paper first. Duplex flip settings vary by printer.

Save & reset

How to make your card

  1. Choose one of the 20 designs. Your edited wording stays when you change designs.
  2. Add your greeting and a short front message. Use the suggested wording as a starting point, then make it personal.
  3. Open Inside & back to write a longer note. Use the preview tabs to review every side.
  4. Choose a finished size and Letter or A4 paper. Download PNG for the front, Card PDF for a true-size front, or the paper-size PDF for printing.

What to write in a congratulations card

Celebrate the person and their effort. Mention the new job, graduation, promotion, or milestone in your own words. A simple “So proud of you” often says more than a long speech.

Printing tips

Print at Actual size or 100%, with browser headers and footers off. Check your printer’s margins on plain paper before using card stock. Folded cards support 5 × 7 inches and U.S. A2 (4¼ × 5½ inches); 4 × 6 inches is flat only. A 5 × 7 inch card fits a U.S. A7 envelope.

Frequently asked questions

What does each download include?

PNG, JPG, and Card PDF contain the front. The Letter or A4 PDF places the card on the selected paper. For a folded card it includes two sheets: outside with back and front, then inside with the personal message on the right.

How do I print a folded card?

Select Folded card and choose your printer paper. Print both PDF pages at 100%. Test the duplex flip direction on plain paper; it differs by printer. Trim to the card edges and fold down the center. Fold guides are included.

Can I change the fonts and colors?

Yes. Open Style each text area to change its font, size, weight, alignment, color, or optional effect. Restore this text style returns only that area to its default. Hide this text area removes an optional caption without deleting its wording.

Are photos required?

No. These 20 designs use original illustration and editable text, without photo upload.

Can I save my card and finish later?

Save a local draft to keep your text, design, and settings on this device. Photos are not saved. Add them again after reopening. Clearing browser data can remove a local draft.

Will my text or photos be uploaded?

No. Editing and exporting happen in your browser. The page downloads its fonts and artwork from HandyPebble. Opening the website still makes normal website requests.

What if my message is too long?

Text fits down within its designed area. If it still does not fit, the editor shows a warning and blocks the download. Shorten the front message or put the longer note inside.

Is this suitable for professional printing?

Files use exact card dimensions and 300-pixel-per-inch raster output in sRGB. Full-card painted backgrounds have about 200–220 source pixels per inch at 5 × 7 inches; the 300-pixel-per-inch download does not add original image detail. Text is rendered at the output resolution. Optional ⅛-inch background bleed and crop marks are available. These files are not CMYK press-certified; ask your print shop about its requirements.
