Steps


  1. Select your background frame. Current backgrounds include: rectangle, rounded-rectangle, monogram wreath, mountain pine trees, and monogram letters. Let us know if there is a design you would like.
  2. Enter your data. Enter your first name, last name, and year of your wedding. Adjust the font size as necessary.
  3. Format your design. Select the size of the hearts (small or large) or select "Hide" to make the hearts disappear altogether. Next, you can specify the color of the text, and the color of the background frame.
  4. Move the objects. Place the text and hearts in different locations using your finger or mouse.
  5. Save your design. Your new design or pattern can be printed or downloaded in PNG, JPG, PDF, or SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.

2. If saving in PNG, JPG, or PDF format, you may specify the desired width and height of your new family name sign. SVG images can be scaled to any size after downloading. If "Preserve Aspect Ratio" is set to "Yes", then the "width" of your image is automatically calculated. Changing the "height" will automatically change the "width". Your image will be scaled proportionally. The size of your image may change, but the overall shape will not change.

3. Images can currently be sized to a maximum width or height of 3000 pixels (or a minimum width and height of 10 pixels).
 
4. For images that will be used for print (e.g. coloring sheets), either save the images in PDF format, or specify a large pixel value. Keep in mind, most printers use a resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (points per inch). If you want your final image to look sharp at 5 inches, then you would want to specify a pixel size of at least 1500 pixels (5 inches * 300 ppi). The PDF files are automatically saved at 300 pixels per inch (ppi). SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) can be scaled to any size without losing quality.
 
5. For best quality, save images in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. Once saved, you can open SVG files using a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and print them. SVG files can also be opened and printed using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, CorelDraw, and the free programs Inkscape and Gimp.
 
6. See resizing and printing images, if you need help with printing images, resizing images consistently, or printing images (on multiple pages).
