Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Christmas Card Maker really free?
Yes, absolutely! Our Christmas Card Maker is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, no subscriptions, and no limitations on how many cards you can create. You can design, customize, and download as many Christmas cards as you want without any cost.
Can I print the cards I create?
Yes, the cards are designed to be print-ready. When you download your card, it will be in high resolution suitable for home or professional printing. We recommend using quality card stock paper (200-300 gsm) for the best results. Standard card sizes (A6 or 5x7 inches) work perfectly with our designs.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required! You can start creating Christmas cards immediately without any registration. We value your privacy and don't require any personal information to use our tool. Your designs are created and processed locally in your browser.
Can I use the cards for commercial purposes?
Yes, you can use the cards you create for both personal and commercial purposes. However, if you're planning to sell large quantities of cards using our designs, we recommend adding your own creative elements to make them unique. Our templates are meant to be customized and made your own.
What file format will my card be in?
Your Christmas card will be downloaded as a high-quality image file (PNG format) that maintains excellent resolution for both digital viewing and printing. PNG format supports transparent backgrounds and maintains image quality when resized.
Can I edit a card after downloading it?
To edit a card after downloading, you would need to create a new version using our tool. However, you can save your design preferences and recreate similar cards quickly. We recommend finalizing your design before downloading to ensure you have exactly what you want.
Is there a limit to how many cards I can make?
There is no limit! You can create as many Christmas cards as you need. Whether you're sending cards to 10 people or 100, our tool can handle it. Each card can be completely unique or you can use similar designs for multiple recipients.
Will my card designs be saved?
Your designs are saved locally in your browser session. This means if you refresh the page, your current design will be lost unless you've downloaded it. We recommend downloading each card as you finish designing it. For long-term storage, save the downloaded files to your computer or cloud storage.
