6. Use the Print and Social Design editor to customize your postcard.


7. Once you are done editing, now we are ready to download. Keep in mind, you will need to download twice, once for the front of the postcard and once for the back.

Use the following settings to download the front and back of the postcard:

  • To make it easy when you select the file, when adding to the campaign later, change the title of the postcard to indicate if it is the front or the back. Then, after you download the first side, change the name again to indicate the side you are now downloading.
  • Click to Download.
  • You must select the PDF for Printing option, to download the design as a PDF file type.
    • Make sure that you select the Include Bleed option. It will default to 0.125, which is the correct setting.
    • Download as CMYK is optional. You can use the design with Campaigns either way.
    • Only select one page at a time, you will download twice, once for each side.
  • Click Download.
