With Studio, you can now make an ecard in a few simple steps:

  • Sign in to Studio with your account.
  • Go to "My Cards" tab and choose the way you want to upload your ecard.

Easy Upload

This upload interface is easy, fast and hassle free - only asks for the basic card elements (ecard, music file, title, description and category)

Follow these steps to upload your ecard through ‘Easy Upload’ interface:

  1. Browse the card file that you want to upload. Do check for the supported card types
  2. In case your ecard is a postcard or an animated card you may attach a music file to it. Browse the music file that you want to upload.
  3. Put a relevant card title. For example: "A Big Scare to a Friend" can be a suitable title for an ecard that will be in Halloween : Happy Halloween category.
  4. Add a key word rich card description so that people find your ecard in their search.
  5. Look for the Event or Category that you're placing your ecard in. Be as specific as you can.

NOTES

  • If you opt not to submit your eacrd for listing and save it as draft click on the Save as Draft button.
