Tips for a message that lands
- Use their name, or the nickname only you call them.
- Mention a shared memory or one thing you admire about them.
- Keep it short. Two or three sentences fit a card best.
- Finish with a wish for the year ahead.
- Celebrating two people? Write “Happy birthday to you both” and add both names.

FAQ
Questions about making a card
Is this birthday card maker free?
Yes. Every template is free to personalize and download, and you never need to enter payment details.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up or login. Choose a template, make your changes and download your card.
Can I make a birthday card with their name on it?
Yes. Tap any text on the card to type their name, then change the font, size and color. You can add extra lines for a nickname or your signature, so every custom birthday card you make online is personal.
Can I add my own photo?
Yes. Start from a photo template or add a photo to any card. JPEG, PNG and WebP files up to 5 MB work, and the photo is processed in your browser, not uploaded.
What file do I get?
You download your digital birthday card as a PNG image that you can send in a message, attach to an email or post online.
What size is the downloaded image?
Cards download as a 2160 × 2700 pixel PNG, sharp on phones and social posts. If your device runs low on memory, the editor saves a 1080 × 1350 version and tells you.
Is my card uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Your card is created in your browser, and the text you write is not sent to our servers. Because nothing is saved for you, download your card before you close the page.
Can I save my card and finish it later?
No. Nothing is stored, so your edits are lost when you close or reload the page. Download your card when you are happy with it. The editor warns you before you leave unsaved changes.
Can I make a card on my phone?
Yes. The site is designed for phones, tablets and computers, and works in current versions of major browsers.
