- Open your Program and go to the Card Design tab.
- In the Background section, find Background image.
- Drag a file onto it, or use Choose a file, or Paste Image if you have copied one. On a phone or tablet, Take photo opens the camera.
- If you took a photo, fit it in the window we show: drag to move it, use the slider to zoom, then choose Use photo.
- Set the Overlay slider so the stamps still read against it.
- Choose Save Card Design.
The fitting window is the shape of a card, so you can see exactly what will sit behind the stamps rather than finding out after you save. A photo is also shrunk to the size a card uses on its way up, which is what stops a large one being refused.
What to send
- PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 5 MB.
- Landscape rather than portrait. The picture fills a card, and a card is wider than it is tall.
- Something with a calm middle. The stamps sit over the centre, so a busy pattern there is the one thing that will not work.
Whatever you send is resized and cropped to the card shape, so the edges of a very tall or very wide picture will not all be used.
Replacing or removing it
Drop a new file on the same control to replace the picture. To go back to a plain card, remove the image and save: the card then uses the Stamp area background colour, or the Program colour if you have not set one.
Only you can see the picture until you save. Nothing on a customer card changes before that.
