Printing

How to print a 5 x 7 invitation at home

The two-per-sheet PDF is the home route: print it on letter-size card stock at 100% (no “fit to page”), double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then cut on the crop marks. Two 5 x 7 cards come off each sheet. For a single card use the 5 x 7 PDF on 5 x 7 stock, or print it on letter paper and trim.

For a print shop or an online printer, send the print shop PNGs: 1575 x 2175 pixels is 5 x 7 inches plus an eighth-inch bleed at 300 dpi, which is what their upload form expects. Photo counters take the 4 x 6 PNGs as ordinary prints — often the cheapest way to make forty of them.

To send it instead of printing it, the text-or-email PNG is sized for a phone screen; it also works as a group-chat image or an email attachment.

Frequently asked questions

Is the invitation maker free?
Yes — every design and every download (PDF, PNG, Word) is free with no watermark, no account and no email.
What sizes can I download?
A 5 x 7 PDF with the front on page 1 and the back on page 2; a letter-size PDF with two cards per sheet and crop marks; 5 x 7 PNGs with an eighth-inch bleed for a print shop; 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter; a 1080 x 1512 PNG to text or email; and a Word file.
Where does my photo go?
Nowhere. The maker runs in your browser — the photo is cropped and placed on your own computer and never uploaded.
Can I change the colors?
Each design has its original palette plus two alternates drawn for it. Choose one under Colors; every token on the card — ink, accents and paper — switches together.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The preview sits under the form on a phone; downloads save to your photos or files. For a print run, a laptop is easier for the two-per-sheet PDF.
What if the name is long?
The maker measures the text and shrinks it to fit the design's width, so a long name or a four-line address stays inside the card. The preview shows exactly what prints.
