虽然您可以使用 MS Word 创建贺卡(create greeting cards with MS Word)，但您可以找到更多用户友好和专业的应用程序来满足您的需求。现代(Modern)设计应用程序带有拖放模板、照片库、各种字体以及尽可能多的设计元素。他们完成了大部分工作，而且很多都是免费的。
(Drawing apps)像Photoshop和Illustrator这样的(Illustrator)绘图应用程序非常棒，几乎可以做任何事情，但如果你没有经验，它们就很难使用。在本文中，我们将介绍一些适用于Windows(Windows)的免费和付费贺卡应用程序。我们将专注于设计用于制作贺卡的软件，因此您不必自己完成所有艰苦的工作。
1. Adobe 创意云速递(Adobe Creative Cloud Express)(Adobe Spark)
Adobe Creative Cloud Express，前身为Adobe Spark，是一款功能强大且易于使用的贺卡软件和应用程序。但是，您需要访问互联网才能使用它，因此对于喜欢离线创建的人来说，它可能不是最佳选择。
它主要是为社交媒体用户创建的。这个应用程序是完全免费的，它带有大量模板，可让您快速创建适合不同场合的卡片。无论您需要海报、贺卡、邀请函还是任何其他问候格式，Adobe的这款应用都能满足您的需求。
您可以使用任何社交媒体或您的电子邮件地址登录Adobe Creative Cloud Express 。该软件将使您可以访问所有设计选项，而付费墙后面没有隐藏的附加功能。Adobe CCE将允许您从 10,000 张库存图像中进行选择以添加到您的照片卡中。
您还可以上传您的图片以赋予其个人风格。但是，如果您使用自己的图像，则必须裁剪它们并使其与贺卡模板完美契合，而库存图像的尺寸已经定义，非常适合。
Adobe CCE还可以让您调整文本、样式和颜色。该软件还可以轻松添加徽标、图标和新字体。它甚至还有一个小型动画数据库，可用于创建电子贺卡或个性化视频。

Canva的免费版本只允许您有限地访问照片和模板，但它足以创建日常卡片，甚至是用于特殊场合的卡片。每月只需支付 12.99 美元，您就可以升级到Canva Pro，它可以无限制地访问所有Canva的库存图片和模板。您还将获得额外的工具，例如背景去除器或即时动画。

如果您有问题或无法理解特定工具，请随时通过Canva的官方Facebook页面联系工作人员，他们非常有帮助。这个设计工具的唯一缺点是它的照片编辑器。它非常基础，其选项类似于Instagram。它没有去除红眼或修复照片的工具。但Canva确实为其用户提供免费送货的打印服务。
3.福托(Fotor)
Fotor是一款免费的在线照片编辑器。它是另一种基于网络的软件，具有免费但有限的版本。Fotor Pro将让您以每月 8.99 美元或每年 39.99 美元的价格访问额外的库存照片、字体、存储等。如果您喜欢制作个性化的照片贺卡，Fotor是一个绝佳的选择。它有一个拖放式用户界面，使它变得简单，但如果您仍然感到困惑或无法找到自己的方式，Fotor有视频教程可以帮助您。

唯一的主要缺点是您制作的每张卡片都会自动添加一个Greeting Card Studio水印，除非您支付 1.99 美元的费用。
5.标志卡工作室(Hallmark Card Studio)

Best Greeting Card Software for Windows 11/10
While you can create greeting cards with MS Word, you can find more user-friendly and professional apps to suit your needs. Modern design apps come with drag-and-drop templates, libraries of photos, a wide variety of fonts, and as many design elements as you can imagine. They do most of the work, and many are free.
Drawing apps like Photoshop and Illustrator are great and can do pretty much anything, but they’re difficult to use if you have no experience. In this article, we will take a look at several free and paid greeting card apps for Windows. We’ll focus on software designed to make greeting cards, so you don’t have to do all the hard work yourself.
Adobe Creative Cloud Express, formerly known as Adobe Spark, is a powerful and easy-to-use greeting card software and app. However, you need access to the internet to use it, so it might not be the best choice for those who like to create offline.
It was created primarily for social media users. This app is entirely free, and it comes with loads of templates that will allow you to create a card for different occasions quickly. Whether you need a poster, greeting card, invitation, or any other greeting format, this app from Adobe has got you covered.
You can log into Adobe Creative Cloud Express using any social media or your email address. The software will give you access to the full range of design options, with no hidden extras behind the paywall. Adobe CCE will allow you to choose from 10,000 stock images to add to your photo card.
You can also upload your image to give it a personal touch. However, if you use your own images, you will have to crop them and make them fit perfectly with the greeting card template, while the stock images come with an already defined size that fits perfectly.
Adobe CCE will also let you adjust the text, its style, and color. This software also makes it possible to add logos, icons, and new fonts easily. It even has a small database of animations that you can use to create an eCard or personalized video.
With this app, you can send your greeting card directly via email or social media or save it as a printable file. There are Windows and Mac apps, and you can access it through various browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. It also comes as an app for Apple and Android phones and tablets.
Canva is a top-rated tool used by graphic designers, social media influencers, and everyone who wants to be creative and design their very own logos, posters, flyers, Instagram posts, and many more. You can also use Canva as a greeting card design software. Remember that Canva works exclusively in a browser, so you won’t have to download any app unless you want to use it on your android or IOS device.
The free version of Canva allows you only limited access to photos and templates, but it is good enough to create everyday cards and even the ones for special occasions. The monthly payment of only $12.99 will allow you to upgrade to Canva Pro, which comes with unlimited access to all Canva’s stock images and templates. You will also get extra tools such as background remover or instant animation.
Canva’s website provides you with tutorials that will teach you how to use specific tools and create simple greeting cards. It also has a search bar that you can use to find out how to perform different actions in Canva itself.
If you have a problem or can’t understand a particular tool, feel free to contact the staff via Canva’s official Facebook page, they are very helpful. The only downside of this design tool is its photo editor. It is very basic, and its options are similar to Instagram. It has no tools for red-eye removal or photo repair. But Canva does offer its users a printing service with free delivery.
Fotor is a free online photo editor. It is another web-based software with a free but limited version. Fotor Pro will give you access to additional stock photos, fonts, storage, and more for only $8.99 per month or $39.99 annually. If you love making personalized photo greeting cards, Fotor is an excellent choice. It has a drag-and-drop UI that makes it easy, but if you are still confused or having trouble finding your way around, Fotor has video tutorials to help you.
With Fotor, you can edit your photos and make them shine before creating a card to send to your loved ones. It even has some advanced tools such as background removal and blemish and wrinkles removal. You can change the background of your image or add various photo effects and filters to make your card unique.
Fotor enables you to create a graphic design using your photos or a collage of photos. Just click “create a design” on Fotor’s homepage and find your way to the card maker. Within this tool, you will find various templates, text fonts, and colors. In Fotor’s card design, you will have access to a myriad of elements such as cutouts, patterns, shapes, lines, and stickers that you can use to personalize your card.
Microsoft’s own Greeting Card Studio is very helpful and free software compatible with Windows 10 and 11. It is a simple card design tool that will allow you to create fun, personalized cards with pictures and text. The fonts it uses are already familiar because they are the same as Microsoft Word. You can use frames and themes, and you can rotate them to make your card more appealing. This card maker has a straightforward interface that is easy to use.
Greeting Card Studio offers templates to make your designs, but they are not as polished as other card software. Although this app has a database of pictures appropriate for all opportunities, you can also use your own photos that you can upload from your PC. Once you create the greeting card, you can download it as a jpeg or PDF file, ready for printing.
The only major downside is that every card you make will have a Greeting Card Studio watermark added to it automatically unless you pay a $1.99 fee.
