Quick answer

Choose comp-card dimensions from the recipient’s requirements. Pola currently exports a 1600 × 1050 pixel PNG; PDF and print ordering are not available. Pixel dimensions do not define a universal physical card size.

Separate screen delivery from print preparation

For phone viewing, make faces, the name and contact readable. An online form may also restrict file extensions and file size. Renaming a PNG extension to PDF does not change the file’s contents.

For print, ask the printer about dimensions in millimetres, bleed, safe margins, colour profile and file format. A screen PNG is not automatically a print layout with bleed. Recipients and printers have different specifications.

What the Pola editor actually exports

The current editor produces one 1600 × 1050 pixel PNG containing five photographs, a name, measurements and contact. It offers six ready-made layouts and image reordering. Assembly takes place in the browser without signup; source photographs are not uploaded to a server.

PNG is a raster image: text and photographs form one picture. The file does not contain a separately editable layout or PDF pages. If a recipient accepts only PDF, use a suitable conversion tool and check the result, or prepare a layout to their specifications.

Review the result as the recipient

Open the downloaded file after export. View it in full and at a small scale. Check facial cropping, contact readability, current measurements and the absence of a demo label on a card made from your own photographs.

If a form limits file size, compress a separate copy. Check faces and text again after resizing; retain the original PNG. Avoid adding unnecessary personal details: use a contact you intend to share with this recipient.
