Please Note: If you are personalizing an item on a mobile device, you are limited to only replacing the text and replacing images. You will need to use a desktop or laptop computer to access additional features. Also, please note that Google Chrome is the recommended browser for using Corjl. Not all features may be available or shown in other browsers.

Corjl is a powerful online editing platform that allows you to create and edit personalized items in your browser. So there is no software to download and learn. Most of the text is editable so you can change the details to fit your party. Some of the invites already have photos that you can swap for your own photo to make it truly personal.

If you get stuck at any point with your invite you can send us a message and we can log into your order and help.

Look out for an email from Corjl after you have completed your purchase. It will go to the email you entered at the checkout.

No. All the fonts ( and images ) in the template are preloaded to Corjl and have the relevant licenses that they need.

Personalize – Double click directly on the text you want to personalize to change/delete it. You can also personalize text by selecting it, then typing in the text box located in the tools panel (upper RH side of the screen). To add a new text box (if available), click on Add Text Box in the tools panel.

Text Editing Tools Options

●  Font Color – Select the text you want to change and click on the color rectangle in the tools panel to choose a new color or select a color from the provided color palette (if provided). You can also select a color from the design directly by clicking on a colored area with the “eyedropper” tool.

●  Font Size – Select the text you want to resize, then choose a number or enter it in the drop-down box in the tools panel.

●  Character and Line Spacing
– Adjust the spacing between letters/lines. Select the text you want to change, then click on the line or height spacing icons and adjust using the sliding bars or by manually entering a number.

●  Resize as Image – Select this option to be able to change the shape of a text box as if it were an image. Once checked, you can stretch and compress the text. Unchecking the box will undo any changes.

●  Glyphs
– Use the Glyphs button to open the different glyphs available for that font. Click on the glyph you want to add and then click the copy button. Once copied, go back to the text and click where you want to add the character, and click Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste the glyph into the text.

●  Font Style – Select the text you want to change and choose a different font style from the drop-down box in the tools panel. You can select from the following style options:

○  Drop Shadow – Select the text you want to add a drop shadow to, then click on Style Text in the tools panel and select Drop Shadow from the drop-down menu. Change the color, offsets, and blur of the shadow.

○  Stroke (outline) – Select the text you want to add an outline to, then click on Style Text in the tools panel and select Stroke from the drop-down menu. Change the color, distance (thickness), and opacity of the outline.

○  Curved – Select the text you want to curve and select either a full Circle shape or an Arc. Adjust the degree of the curve you want with the slider tool.

○  Outer Glow – Select the text you want to add a glow to, then click on Style Text in the tools panel and select Outer Glow from the drop-down menu. Change the color and distance (thickness) of the glow.

○  Gradient – Select the text to which you want to add the gradient, then click on Style Text in the tools panel and select Gradient from the drop-down menu. Select a start and end color in the color boxes (or choose Transparent), then adjust the angle of the gradient using the circular dial.

○  Opacity – Select the text you want to make transparent, then click on Style Text in the tools panel and select Opacity from the drop-down menu. Enter a number or use the slide bar to adjust the opacity.

○  Rotation – Select the text box you wish to rotate and use the slider to rotate the text to the desired amount. You can also rotate text by hovering the mouse over the small white circle at the top of the text box until a circular arrow appears and circling the mouse.

○  Blend Mode – Change how text and graphics blend with the background or other elements by using a different “blend mode.” You can choose from the following blending options from the Blend Mode drop-down box: Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Color Dodge, Color Burn, Hard Light, Soft Light, Difference, or Exclusion.

Right-Click Menu Options

Right-clicking on a text box will give you the ability to Cut, Copy, Paste, or Delete the text box. You can also Duplicate a text box and Flip it horizontally. Additional options are:

●  Dynamic – The Dynamic feature (default) allows the text box width to resize along with the text inside of it. Unchecking the Dynamic option will leave the text box width the same size regardless of the size of the text inside (so the text will wrap within the box).

●  View – Allows you to Show Rulers for the artboard, Zoom In or Zoom Out, and Zoom to 100%. You can also use the “magnifying glass” icons at the top of the artboard to zoom in or out.

●  Rotate – You can choose to rotate a text box either 90, 180, or 270 degrees with this option. Selecting 0 degrees will return the textbox to its original position. You can also rotate a text box by hovering on the white dot at the top of the box and clicking and dragging in the direction you wish to rotate.

●  Align to Artboard – Use these options to align a text box to the top, bottom, far left, far right, vertical center, or horizontal center of the artboard

Prepare – If your image needs to be cropped, please do so before uploading. Crop an image for free using an online photo editor, such as picresize.com, imageresize.org, or befunky.com. Also, depending on the size of the file, you may need to resize it as well. Most Corjl designs will only allow images up to 6 MB.

Add Images– Upload a graphic or photo by clicking on the Add New Image button in the tools panel. If offered, you can select from images provided by the designer, or upload your own. You can adjust the size and rotate the image (see above).

Replace – To replace an existing image, click on it and you will see a button in the tools panel that says Replace Image. Upload your image and it will replace the existing image. Your seller may have provided extra images as well that you can choose from to replace.

● Photo/Image Tips: If your photo does not seem to fit the space provided, use the “grey dots” found in the corners of the photo to resize (zoom in/zoom out) until the image fits the area.

If you add a photo and it is floating above or below the area of the design where you want it to be, click on the Layer for that photo in the Layers Menu (far lower right) and drag the name of the photo layer up or below the other layers until it is showing in the desired area.

Do NOT resize the image by stretching the height or width (taller or wider) as this can distort your photo.

If you want to replace the photo you have added with a different photo, do not delete the photo. Instead, use the “Replace Image” button on the right to select a different photo.
