Sending your best wishes during this time of year is essential. And personalized cards are one of the best ways to do so.

  • Business cards.
  • Birthday.
  • Animated cards.
  • Greetings.
  • Invitation cards, etc.

That's why today we're showing you one of the best tools for creating these cards. They can easily be printed, sent via any messaging app, or shared through your social media statuses or posts.

How to personalize your own card and where to create it?

Canva is one of the most comprehensive and popular online tools, thanks to its wide variety of editing options. Creating personalized cards with this versatile application is incredibly easy, as it offers countless creative templates that can be filtered by format, style, theme, and color.

Keep in mind that each template offers unique designs, which can be modified from the font type, color combination, images, videos, and music with the best quality.

You don't need to be an expert to use this valuable tool; simply register with your email address, select the version (Free/Pro) that best suits your needs, and start creating your personalized cards.

Once you've logged in, you'll be greeted with a basic but functional interface.

Card creation:

  • The main section of Canva features a sidebar containing all the editing elements, such as: Templates – Elements – Uploaded Files – Text – Apps. The other sidebar displays a preview of the design page.
    • NOTE: Please note that not all templates are free (the same applies to other features of this service). If you hover over a template and don't see a small "free" icon in the bottom right corner, you'll need to pay to download and use your creation.

  • The program also offers extensive customization options, with access to numerous elements ranging from graphics, photos, videos, audio, basic geometric shapes, frames, tables, and more.

  • You have a wide variety of text effects and styles available, many of them free and fully customizable, from font to size, color, position and orientation.

To export:

Once you've finished creating your card, Canva offers you the option to export your design. Remember that with the free version, you can download your card in a limited size on a white background. However, with the PRO version, you'll get better quality and a larger download size, with a transparent background.
