Ecardstudio can be used on desktop computers, iPad and tablets, and Android phones or iPhones with large screens. (smaller mobile phones may run the app ok, but the screen size won't be an ideal workspace to do card edits.)
On touchscreens, it may take a bit of practice to engage the square resize and rotate handles that appear on text and sticker objects when you tap to select them.
When using Ecardstudio on a phone, use landscape view (unless you are making a Quick to Phone image)
You will need to scroll down a little way to see the sticker and text buttons and object options (color, shadow, texture etc.), which will be at the bottom.
For Quick to Phone ecards, hold your phone in portrait orientation.
It is recommended that tablets are also used in portrait orientation. This enables you to still have a clear view of the card area when using the keyboard to type text. But this will depend on your device, try it out and see if portrait or landscape is better for you.
The example below shows an iPad mini.
Apply Button
On mobile phones, the apply button to the right of the toolbar will be replaced by a 'tick' icon. After inserting a sticker, text or image, tap tick to apply. Object options toolbar will open (you may need to scroll down to see the options toolbar). Tap the tick a second time (or tap grey space outside of ecard canvas area) to close options and display text and sticker buttons.
On your tablet or phone, access Ecardstudio in your device's web browser (Safari, Chrome or other) at https://ecardstudio.app
Recommended: You can add the web app to your devices' home screen, for quick, fullscreen access.
