# The card editor

> Every part of the Card Studio editor.

When you open a card, the editor opens **full screen**. It is a bit like a drawing app.

## The parts of the editor

### Left side: what you can add

| Tab | What is inside |
| - | - |
| **Templates** | Ready-made cards. Press **Use this** to copy one into your cards. |
| **Looks** | 22 styles that change the whole card. See [Looks](/card-studio/looks). |
| **Shapes** | Rectangles, circles, lines, badges and more. |
| **Text** | Headings, subheadings, ready-made pairs and **Seasonal headings**. Also **Upload a font**. |
| **Pictures** | Your uploaded pictures. Upload backgrounds, logos or item art once and use them on any card. |
| **Layers** | Every item on your card, in order. The top of the list is in front. |

### Above the card: the quick-edit bar

When you select a layer, this bar shows the most used settings: **font**, **size**, **colour**, **bold**, **text alignment**, **line up** (to the edges or the middle of the card), **forward and back**, **lock**, **duplicate** and **delete**.

### Right side: all settings

Every setting of the selected layer: colours, fades, borders, roundness, shadows and more.

## Layers you can add

| Layer | What it is |
| - | - |
| **Text** | Words. Can show values, like `{user_displayName}`. |
| **Avatar** | Someone's profile picture, in a circle or a square. |
| **Picture** | Any picture you uploaded. |
| **Shape** | A rectangle, circle or line. |
| **Badge** | A small label, like a rank. |
| **Bar** | A progress bar, like XP to the next level. |
| **Grid** | A table, like a leaderboard. |

## Moving things around

* **Move**: drag a layer. Guides pop up to help you line it up with the edges, the middle and other layers. Hold **Alt** to move freely.
* **Resize**: drag a corner handle. Hold **Shift** to keep the shape the same.
* **Zoom**: zoom in, zoom out, or press **Fit**.

## Keyboard shortcuts

| Keys | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Delete** | Delete the selected layer. |
| **Arrow keys** | Nudge the layer a little. |
| **Ctrl + Z** | Undo. |
| **Ctrl + Y** | Redo. |
| **Ctrl + D** | Duplicate. |
| **Ctrl + S** | Save. |

## Showing values on a card

Any text, picture, bar or grid can show values. Press the **insert a value** button next to a box. For example:

* `{user_displayName}` for the person's name
* `{server_members}` for the member count
* your own variables, like `{DBVAR_coins}`

## Exact preview

The preview draws your card **exactly** the way your bot will send it.

To go back to the dashboard, press **Card Studio** at the top left.
