How to Make a Free Greeting Card Online in Under a Minute

Published · Greeting cards

Most people only need a greeting card a few times a year, an Eid message for the family group, a birthday for a colleague, a quick thank-you after someone helps you out. Paying for an app or fighting with a design program for something you'll use once doesn't make sense. Here's the whole process, start to finish.

1. Pick the occasion

Open Wish Cards and choose from the occasion list: Happy Wedding, You're Invited, Congratulations, Congratulations Graduate, Thank You, Eid Mubarak, Happy Birthday, and a few national days. Each one comes with its own wording already written and its own matching decoration, a crescent moon for Eid, balloons for a birthday, rings for a wedding, so you're not starting from a blank page.

2. Edit the words to fit

The title and message are just text boxes. Change the name, soften or shorten the wording, or write the whole thing yourself if you'd rather. Add the person's name and it appears on the card automatically.

3. Pick a language

The wording and the card's own labels are available in twelve languages, including English, Kiswahili, Soomaali, Arabic, French, Amharic, Afaan Oromoo, Chinese, Spanish, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, and Hindi. Switching languages swaps in a ready-made greeting for that language, which you can still edit afterward.

4. Choose a design and a size

Every occasion has its own decorative design, and there's a full gallery of general designs too, stripes, confetti, photo frames, and more. Pick a size to match where it's going: Square for WhatsApp or Instagram, Poster for a printed page, Wide for a Facebook cover, or Status for WhatsApp Status and Stories.

Adding your own photo

If you'd rather build around a picture than an illustration, upload one under Photo. It drops into a circle, a rounded frame, an arch, or fills the whole card behind the text, whichever you pick from the design gallery.

5. Share it or save it

Tap Share to send it straight to WhatsApp, or Download to save it as an image. If you're not quite finished, tap Save first, it stays in My Designs on your device so you can come back and adjust it later, even after closing the browser.

Everything happens on your own device. Nothing you type or upload is sent to a server, the card is built entirely inside your browser.
