Birthday card questions
Is the birthday card maker free?
Yes — completely free. Create as many birthday cards as you like and download them in high resolution with no watermark, no sign-up and no payment.
Can I add my own photo to a birthday card?
Yes. Upload any photo as the card background or place it on the card, then add text, emoji and stickers on top. Photos are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
Can kids make their own birthday cards?
Yes — Kid mode enlarges the buttons and hides the advanced options so younger children can design a card themselves, with a drawing board, stickers and a daily challenge.
What sizes do birthday cards come in?
Square 1080×1080 (perfect for WhatsApp and Instagram), portrait story 1080×1920, and landscape. Cards download as high-resolution JPEG or PNG, ready to share or print.
Can I send the birthday card as a surprise link?
Yes. Share your card as a link that opens with a fold-open envelope or a scratch-off reveal — no app needed, and the whole card travels inside the link.
