Last reviewed: October 9, 2026Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter or open is uploaded.
The short answer
Pick an occasion (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Eid, graduation or birthday), choose a design and a ready message or write your own, then add who it is to and from. The card updates as you type. Choose post, story or square size and share it. Cards are drawn on your device, with only a small invite line, no watermark.
How it is calculated
Every design is drawn in code inside your browser (tree, leaves, crescent, grad cap, balloons), so the artwork is original and the card is always crisp at 1080 pixels wide.
Text shrinks automatically so a long headline fits in two lines and a message in five (seven in Story size).
Worked example
The Millers want to send Grandma a Thanksgiving card:
- Pick Thanksgiving and the warm autumn design.
- Keep "Happy Thanksgiving" and choose the message about second helpings of pie.
- Type "Grandma" in To and "The Millers" in From, pick Square and tap Share card.
A square "Happy Thanksgiving" card: To: Grandma · From: The Millers

- Best sizes: Square for texts and WhatsApp, Story for Instagram and Snapchat, Post for feeds.
