Editing on a Mobile Device

Depending on the permissions given for the design, you will see the following options in the bottom menu when you log into your design on a mobile device:

Add Image – Tap here to add an image to the canvas. If the designer has included images for use in the design, you will see those images in the Images tab area. To upload your own image to add to the canvas, tap on the Your Uploads tab and use the “upload” image icon button to upload your image.

Add Text – This option will add a text box to the canvas. Use the text editing options outlined below to style the text as wanted.

Background – Use this option to edit the background of the canvas. Tap to see the following editing options for the background, if allowed by the designer:

Edit Fill Color – Allows you to change the color of the background with a color picker tool. Select a color from the color picker, or type in a hex color value.

Edit Gradient Color – Add a gradient color with this option. Use the two small color boxes to select the two colors for the gradient. Choose from a Linear or Radial gradient. Change the angle of the gradient with the “dial” button or type in an angle in the provided text field. Adjust the opacity start and end with the sliders.

Add Background Image – Use the Image button to add an image to the background. Use designer-provided images (if any) from the Images tab. If allowed, upload your own image to use for the background by going to the Your Uploads tab. Adjust the background image position using the Fill Canvas, Tile Image, or Fit to Canvas options shown.

None – This option removes any image or color applied to the background.

Edit color – Allows you to change the color of the text with a color picker tool. Select a color from the color picker, or type in a hex color value.

Font size – Change the font size of the text by using the slider to increase or decrease the font size, or by typing in a number for the size in the numerical field. You can also size the text larger or smaller using the corner “dot” controls for the text box.

Rotation – Use this option to rotate the text box. Use the “dial” in the far left to rotate to the desired amount, or type in the desired amount of rotation in the given text field.

Duplicate – Make a copy of the text box with this option. Delete – Deletes the selected text box.

Edit Images

Tap to select an image on the canvas and use the following options to make adjustments:
Resize – You can resize a selected image by using the corner “dot” controls to drag the image larger or smaller.

Replace an Image – If this option is available for the design, you can use the Replace button to replace the selected image. As with the Add Image option, you may see both Images and Your Uploads as options to choose from.

Saving, Downloading, and Printing Your Design

Saving Your Changes – Changes to your design will save automatically. To undo changes and go back to a previous edit, click on the Undo button.

Downloading – When ready to download, tap the “download” icon from the top menu to begin the download process. Select the file type you would like to use for the download file from the pop-up options. Based on your file type selection, you will see the following options:

PDF File Options

Paper Size – In general, if printing with professional printers, choose the Design Default Size. If printing at home, choose 8.5x11 Inches. The size of the design will remain the same regardless of the paper size chosen.
Page numbers – By default, all pages of the design will download. To download specific pages of the design, deselect the Select all pages option, then type in page numbers in the provided field. Separate individual pages by commas, or a range of pages with a hyphen.
Show Bleed/Trim Marks – Choose to include the bleed and/or trim marks to allow for easier trimming or if requested by your printers.
Fit Multiples Per Page – Select this option to fit multiple copies of the design pages onto one sheet of paper (if possible). Pages will tile consecutively on the same page unless the Tile Same Design is selected. For example, if printing a single invitation, front and back, you will want to tile the same design on each PDF page. If printing a design with consecutive pages (like table numbers or a brochure, for example) then you want to deselect this option.

All Formats Other Than PDF – Depending on the item or seller, you may be able to choose other file download options, such as JPEG, PNG, or SVG. All of these formats will have the same Show Bleed, Show Trim Marks, and page selection options as PDF downloads. Larger designs with a higher number of pages will download in a Zip File by default.

After selecting the file type and options, tap the Next button to download the file. On the next screen, you can choose to either download the file directly to your mobile device by tapping the Download to device button, or have the file sent to you by email. If emailing the file, type in your email address in the field labeled Email (found at the top of the screen) then tap Send download link to email.

Please note: For some mobile devices, such as iPhones, it is recommended to email yourself the file instead of downloading to your device.

Printing – If you are printing at home, be sure that the file prints at 100% or Actual Size in the print settings (Scale to Fit). If you are printing at a print shop, save the file to a USB flash drive, SD card or email depending on the printer’s requirements. PDF files print best on card stock paper. JPEG files can be printed on card stock or photo paper; be sure that the prints ordered are the same dimensions as the design.

Approve Proof Option – For orders where your seller will be printing and shipping your order to you, you will see an Approve Proof button instead of the Download button. This indicates that once you are done editing and saving your design, you will need to click on the Approve Proof button in order to complete your order.

If you are ordering printed items from the seller, clicking the Approve Proof button will alert the seller that your design is done being edited and ready to send to print.

Please note: You will not be able to make any changes after approving the proof. Please check your information carefully before selecting this option.
