| Milestone (30, 40, 50…) | Cheers to 40 years of you! Here's to the next chapter. |
Tips for a card that looks great
Keep the Greeting short so it stays large: "Happy Birthday" or "Happy 30th" reads better than a long sentence, which the tool shrinks to fit. Put the person's name on its own line; script fonts like Great Vibes and Dancing make names look handwritten.
Light text needs a dark or busy background and dark text needs a light one. Each design starts with a matching color; if you upload your own photo, try white text first, since it gets a soft shadow that keeps it readable. To print a folded card, place the PNG on the right half of a letter-size page in landscape and fold it in half.
Frequently asked questions

Type it in the Name field. It appears on the card right away in the script font you choose, and the downloaded file is named after it, for example birthday-card-emma.png.
Is it free and without a watermark?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of cards.
Can I print it?
Yes. The PNG is 1024 × 1536 pixels and fits a 4 × 6 inch photo print.
Is my photo uploaded if I use it as the background?
No. The card is made in your browser; your images never leave your device.
