Sharing Templates
Export and import templates to share your card designs with others.
Share your custom template designs with colleagues, clients, or the I Love Cards community using the export and import feature.
Exporting a Template
- Go to Create → Templates to open your template library
- Find the template you want to export (your templates or official templates)
- Click the Export button on the template card
- A
.jsonfile downloads to your computer
The exported file contains:
- Template name and description
- Aspect ratio settings
- Complete visual design configuration
Importing a Template
- Go to Create → Templates
- Click the dropdown arrow next to "Create Empty"
- Select Import from file
- Choose your
.jsontemplate file - The template is added to your library and opens for editing
Imported templates are always created as new templates in your account. You own them and can modify them freely.
Use Cases
Share with your team
Create a brand-approved template and share the exported file with your team. Everyone imports the same design, ensuring visual consistency across all card decks.
Deliver to clients
Working on a custom template for a client? Export it and send them the file. They can import it into their own I Love Cards account and use it immediately.
Backup before changes
Before experimenting with a template, export it first. If things go wrong, you can always import the backup to restore your original design.
Transfer between accounts
Moving to a new account? Export all your templates, then import them into your new account.
