Adding photos to a card

Photos are a great way to brighten up a card, bring back some good memories or share a special moment. And best of all, they're super easy to add!

1. Click the Upload Photo icon next to 'Add Your Message'
2. In the modal that opens, click on Select Photo to select a file. Alternatively you can just drag and drop one from your device. We will automatically optimise your photo, so don't worry too much about it. Supported file types are JPG, PNG and WebP, and the maximum file size is 15MB.
3. Click Add to Card and your photo will be placed on to the current page of the card. Photos are placed with a slight angle to give them a natural feel.
4. You can position your photo by dragging the Move [icon] icon. Photos can go anywhere except the border of the card, and it can't overlap the centre fold of the card.
5. You can re-size your phoeo by dragging the Resize [icon] icon.

There's no limit to the number of photos you can add, so get creative.

Tip: You can skip steps 1 & 2 by just dragging-and-dropping an image file directly onto the card.

Can I overlap photos?

Yes, of course. When you add or move a photo it jumps to the front of the photo stack, so you can achieve any ordering of photos by moving them in order from back to front.

Can I overlap text and photos?

Yes, that's fine. Messages & signatures are always displayed in front of the photo stack and just be aware that some colours of text will not be legible on certain photos.

Note: while you have a photo selected/focussed, that photo will temporarily display in front of everything - you can click off the photo and it will return to it's position in the stack.

I'm seeing 'Image file is too large'

The 15MB limit should be plenty for most standard photos, but for very large files, you can use a tool on your computer to resize the image before uploading it. For example, you can use Photos on Windows or Preview on macOS.
