Course 201 3 min

Name, tagline, photo

The identity panel — plus the private nickname only you can see.

Everything in this course lives on the Kard editor. From Kards, open the Kard and press "Edit Kard" — the form is the same one you met in Make your first Kard, and nothing on the card changes until you press "Update Kard".

Name and tagline

The Identity panel carries the lines everyone reads first. Name is the only field the form insists on — 4 to 100 characters, so a two-letter brand name needs spelling out. Use the name people should save you under; it is the headline of the card.

Tagline is the one-line role or company text under your name — the form's own suggestion is "Digital Artist". It works twice: printed under your name on the card, and as the link-preview description when your card is shared into a chat. One line that says what you do earns its keep in both places.

If you belong to an organization, an Organization dropdown appears in this panel too. It is a one-way door: pick one and the Kard moves to the team's address — the old link stops working, any QR already downloaded or printed points at a dead page, and the form offers no way back to a personal card. No organization, no dropdown — see Organizations on eKard for what membership changes.

Your photo

The Photo panel asks for "A clear photo of you — or your logo." Choose an image and the preview updates at once, before anything is saved. JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP are accepted, up to 5 MB.

Good to know

Your browser compresses the photo before it uploads — scaled down to at most 1920 pixels wide — and the 5 MB limit applies to the compressed file. A large photo straight off the camera usually fits.

To take a photo off the card, tick "Remove current photo" — the checkbox is there only while a photo exists — and save. Like every change on this form, the removal happens on save, not on tick.

A nickname only you see

The Private panel holds a single field: Nickname, "a label to tell your Kards apart", as the form puts it — something like "Trade-fair Kard". It never appears on the public page. On your own Kards list it stands in for the share-link line, so two lookalike Kards never get mixed up.

Identity settled, wire up the ways people reach you — Contact channels is next door.
