Card Template
Cider uses a powerful Template Wizard to guide you through creating a new card template. The process has three main steps:
- Card Size: Choose the physical dimensions for your cards.
- Standard Sizes (e.g., Poker, Bridge, Tarot) are prepopulated with industry-standard dimensions.
- Layouts are available in both Portrait and Landscape orientations.
| Size Name | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Poker | 825 x 1125 | 2.5" x 3.5" |
| Bridge | 750 x 1125 | 2.25" x 3.5" |
| Tarot | 900 x 1500 | 2.75" x 4.75" |
| Square | 1125 x 1125 | 3.5" x 3.5" |
