After entering one, two, three, or four initials, the monogram generator allows you to select
a frame (border), the font type, and color of the monogram. Use your custom monograms
for weddings, for cutting machines (Cricut and Silhouette), for stencils, for
painting and coloring, for sewing and quilting, for wood working projects and patterns,
and other DIY arts and crafts. Your monograms can be printed or
downloaded in PNG, JPG, PDF, or SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.

5. 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.
Height: 150 pixels.
Height: 100 pixels.
If "Preserve Aspect Ratio" is set to "No", your new image will match the values entered
in the textboxes for "Width" and "Height."
Height: 150 pixels.
Width: 150 pixels.

6. Images can currently be sized to a maximum width or height of 3000 pixels
(or a minimum width and height of 10 pixels).
7. 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.
8. 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.
