Powerful tools in InDesign make layout easy.

Define your canvas
Decide on rectangular or square for your design, suitable for mailing or simply attaching on a bulletin board. Use one of the many preset sizes or set custom dimensions for added interest.
Design
Select the elements of your design: a single image or a collage, short text chunks, and calls to action. Use frames to organize your postcard.
Import images and text
Add images and text to your frames. Search Adobe Stock for graphics or photos that best illustrate your message.
Print and share
Save as a PDF or EPS or as color separations for a print provider. Or post as a JPEG, PNG, or TIFF directly to social media and the web.
Easy scaling
Scale, stretch, and shrink by grabbing and moving frame handles. Click the Content Grabber to resize an image without changing a frame.
Paragraph borders
Add beautiful borders to paragraphs. Highlight important text using graphic designs that focus interest.
Color blends
