You've made every edit, checked every name, and it looks exactly right. Now you just want the finished file in your hands. Downloading takes about a minute — the only things worth getting right are picking the right format and grabbing every page, so what you print looks as sharp as what's on your screen.
Here's how to download your template and get it ready to print.
What you'll need
- Your finished template, edited in Corjl
- A computer or phone to save the file to
How to download your template, step by step
Finish editing, then click Download
When your design looks right, hit the Download button in Corjl. If you've closed the editor, pop back in at corjl.com/orders with your order number — your edits are saved.
Choose your file type
For anything you're going to print, choose PDF — it's the sharpest and keeps your sizing exact. If you're sending the design digitally instead (by text, email or social), a JPG or PNG image is the one you want.
Select all pages
If your template has more than one page — place cards, a multi-page suite, a double-sided design — make sure you select all pages before you download. This is the single most common slip, and it's how people end up with just page one. Multi-page templates are covered here.
Save it to your device
Download and save the file somewhere you'll find it again — a clearly named folder beats "Downloads" chaos the night before. You get up to 15 downloads within your 180-day window, which is plenty for a normal order (more on that below).
Print it — at home or with a pro
You've got options, and you don't need to buy blank cards first:
- Corjl Prints — the print service built into Corjl. Click Print and it prints and ships your design to you.
- Prints of Love — fast online printing with free shipping. How it works.
- A local print shop — best for large signs; hand them the PDF.
- At home — print on good cardstock at 100% scale.
The one print setting that matters: always print at 100% / Actual size, never "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit." Fit-to-page quietly resizes your design and throws off the proportions — 100% keeps everything exactly as designed.
Download questions, answered
What file type should I download?
PDF for printing — it's the crispest and holds your exact size. JPG or PNG if you're sending the design digitally rather than printing it.
Only one page downloaded — what happened?
That's the "select all pages" step. Go back into the download options and make sure every page is selected, then download again.
How many times can I download?
Up to 15 times within your 180-day download window — more than enough for a normal order, even if you spot a typo and re-download. The limit is simply a security measure: these are personal templates for your own event, not for reselling or running several parties, so the cap helps protect them from misuse.
Worth knowing: your design downloads exactly as it looks on screen, so there's no need to download a stack of "versions" to compare — what you see is what you get. If you've genuinely used your downloads and still need more, message me with your order and I'll take a look at what's possible.
My print came out smaller than expected. Why?
Almost always the print setting. Choose 100% or Actual size rather than Fit to page, and the design will print at its true size.
Where should I print?
Corjl Prints (built into Corjl), Prints of Love, a local print shop, or at home on cardstock. For more detail on paper choices, see our paper sizes guide.
That's it — right format, all pages, 100% scale. Three small things, and your printed pieces come out looking exactly the way you designed them.
