How it works
- Describe them. Who they are, the occasion, what they love — or pick an idea below and add their name.
- AI paints the artwork. Made for that person, with an open space for the words. Choose a printable certificate or a wood-burning pattern.
- Make the words exact. Type the name, wording, dates and signatures; pick lettering and colors. Then save a print-ready PDF.
Your designs are saved to your account, so you can come back to them on any device.
Questions
Do I need design skills?
No. Describe the person and the occasion in your own words, or start from one of the ideas on this page. The AI paints artwork made for them and lays out the page; you type the exact wording and pick lettering and colors. Every change shows on the design as you make it.
Can I fix the wording after the artwork is made?
Yes, as often as you like. The words are set in real fonts on top of the artwork, so changing a name, a date, the wording, the lettering style or the colors never redraws the artwork.
How do I print it?
Export a print-ready PDF sized for US Letter, A4 or 11×17. On an iPhone you can save it to Files, print it or mail it straight from the share sheet.
