CelebriCards FAQ

A1: A free invitation maker that runs in your browser. It makes wedding, engagement, reception, save the date, anniversary, birthday, baby shower, naming ceremony, thread ceremony, housewarming, puja, festival, party and office event invitations, and greeting cards, in 28 designs and four languages, as pictures, PDFs, a video and a calendar file.

A2: It is free and there is no account or registration. Like every page on ZeroDataUpload, it is supported by advertising.

A3: No. Everything you type and every photo you add stays in this browser on your device; the pictures, PDFs and video are made here too. The page itself, its ads and its analytics load from the internet as on any website.

A4: Your invitations (up to 100), each with its details, design, changes and guest list, are kept in this browser's storage; their photos and pictures are kept in a small database of the browser. Nothing is kept until you change something. Delete removes an invitation; clearing this site's data in the browser removes them all, so download a backup file of the ones you want to keep.

A5: Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers and phones. A few parts depend on the browser: the video is made as an MP4 where the browser can, and otherwise as a WebM recorded while it plays; Share appears where your device offers sharing.

A6: Until you type your own, the card shows example names, a Saturday about eleven weeks ahead and a place, so you can see how it will look. Boxes still showing an example have a pink grey hint, and the Check tab lists every example left on the card.

A7: In Details, under Functions, dates and places, press a function (Ganesh Puja, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Tilak, Engagement, Baraat, Wedding, Reception, Cocktail Party, Dinner or Other) to add it with its own date, time, place, dress code and note. An invitation holds up to 20. Sort by date puts them in order.

A8: Yes. In Design, under Pages, choose A page for each, All on one page, or Only listed on the cover. Each function's page gets a picture of its own, such as marigolds for the Haldi, paisley for the Mehendi and music notes for the Sangeet.

A9: Under Wording, a wedding or engagement can be worded as from the families, from the couple, or in your own words; choose what goes between the names (and, weds, with or a heart) and type a message, or pick one of the Ideas. Leave the message empty to use the line shown in grey.

A10: Yes. Under Blessing and symbol, choose a line such as Shri Ganeshaya Namah, Jai Shri Krishna, Om Namah Shivaya, Jai Jinendra, Ik Onkar Satgur Prasad, Bismillah or With the blessings of our elders, or type your own, and a symbol: Om, Shri, Swastik, Kalash, Lotus, Ik Onkar, Cross, Crescent, Dharma wheel or Diya.

A11: Choose the language under Language of the card. The printed words, the dates and the times change to that language, with local or English digits, and the designs switch to fonts made for that script. To type names in that language, switch your keyboard's language.

A12: Paste your guest list under A card for each guest, one name per line (up to 300 names). Each guest gets a card with their name at the top, such as Dear Sharma family, on the invitation page or the cover. Make them all as PDFs or pictures in one zip, or share or save them one by one.

A15: Yes. Pick one of the design's colour sets, or set your own colours for the paper, the words, the names and lines, and a second colour. Choose the fonts for headings, names and other words from 14 fonts, including fonts for Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. Design's colours and Design's fonts put them back.

A16: Yes. Under Background picture, choose a photo; Soften the photo makes it paler so the words stand out. A couple photo on the cover is added under Photo in Details, in a circle, arch, rounded, oval or heart frame.

A17: Click it to choose it, then drag to move it, drag a corner to resize it, or drag the round handle to turn it. Guides show when it is centred. Double-click words to type on the card. The Edit tab holds the font, size, colour, style, spacing, effect, see-through and turn of what is chosen.

A18: Words that come from the details, such as the names, follow them until you type over them on the card; then they stay as you typed them, and the Check tab notes it. Follow the details again lets them follow once more. Changing a name, place or function name on the card also changes it in Details.

A19: Words, a heading, script words, a photo, a picture (symbols, pictures, dividers, corners, borders, frames and patterns drawn in the card's colours), a shape (line, rectangle, circle, heart or star), a divider and a QR code. A page holds up to 60 things added by hand.

A20: Press QR code in the Edit tab and choose what it opens: the map link you pasted in Details, a phone call to the RSVP number, or any link or words you type. Scan it with a phone before you print. The code always prints dark on white with a clear edge, so phones read it.

A21: Yes. Choose it and press Hide, or use the eye in the list On this page; the same list brings it back. Lock keeps something from moving by mistake. As the design had it puts one item back, and Put everything back in Design puts the whole card back.

A22: It plays the card as it will move in the video: the words rise or zoom in one after another and petals, confetti or sparkles fall over it.

A23: Pictures (JPG or PNG) of each page, a PDF with all the pages, a PDF for printing, a video, a card for each guest, a message with the details, a calendar file (.ics) and a backup file. Several pages as pictures come in one zip.

A24: Printed sizes are made at 300 dots per inch in pictures and in the PDF for printing, and at 200 in the PDF to share; the phone screen and square sizes are made at 1,080 pixels wide. The frames, flowers and words are drawn at that size, so they stay sharp.

A25: Choose PDF for printing. Tick Bleed so the background goes 3 mm past the edge, and Cut marks so the shop knows where to cut, or choose several on an A4 sheet to cut at home. Print a test page at 100% size, not fit to page.

A26: Press Video. Choose how long each page shows (3, 4, 5 or 7 seconds), how the words come in (rise, fade or zoom), what falls over the card (it can suit the design), your own song (up to 50 MB; it fades in and out) and Full HD or HD. Make the video draws every frame on your device; then download or share it.

A27: The heading, the names, the message, each function with its date, time and place, the map link you pasted, the RSVP contact, the host and the other lines you added, with headings between stars so they show in bold on WhatsApp. Copy it, or share it where your device offers sharing.

A28: It holds every function that has a date, with its time, place and dress code. Guests open it and add the dates to their calendar at once. A function with a start time but no end time is given three hours; one without a time is a whole day.

A29: Download the backup file: it holds the invitation with its photos. On the other device, open Your invitations, press Open a backup and choose the file. Every value in the file is checked before it is used.

A30: No map is shown and the tool makes no map link itself. To print a map QR code, open the venue in your map app, choose Share, copy the link and paste it under RSVP and map; the QR code and the message carry that link.

A31: The page must load from the internet first. After that, making and saving invitations happens in the browser, but the page does not install itself for offline use.

A32: Yes. Tab reaches every button and box. While you use the tool, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y undo and redo, the arrow keys move the chosen item (with Shift further), Delete removes or hides it, C copies it, Enter types on it (Ctrl+Enter to finish), Esc lets go of it and ? opens the help.
