Templates for invitations & holiday cards

Always fitting:
Format & color palette
Automatic page width adjustment
The new Scale to Fit Width option automatically scales content within each web variant so that it fits the width of the screen or browser, meaning your website can be viewed better on different devices.
Create the perfect color scheme:
Magic Color Match
For a perfect match between design and photo, use the new Magic Color Match feature to generate a set of Theme Colors from a photo in a single click.
You can then use this as a basic foundation for your graphics, illustrations or documents.
Get results faster:
Enhanced productivity
Line charts
So clear! Clearly present important findings and data trends in line diagrams.
Grid lines help you to display your data neatly, the X-axis headings can be rotated as you wish, Y-values can be moved with just one click – and much more!
Save angle when rotating objects
When you rotate an object, the exact angle now remains visible even if you stop holding the object clicked. This way you'll always know the exact angle of rotation for all objects.
Automatic Bleed
Create your designs 100% according to your original ideas and Xara Design Pro X will completely handle the cropping process automatically. This way you can easily submit the PDF/X of your design to a print shop and receive exactly tailored prints!
Preview line widths
Lines and outlines can now be adjusted by simply scrolling your mousewheel over the line. Small change, big time saving!
Play around with words:
New text features
Colorful lines
Want to put extra emphasis on a few text passages? Now, you can highlight lines and paragraphs with color.
That way, they're guaranteed to be noticed and your texts will look even more creatively designed.
New Text Field Filler Option
The Text field filler has been enhanced with a new option to shrink text when it starts to overflow the text area.
Smart Fields
Save time when creating documents: Use Smart Fields to store frequently used text such as company name & address, add them to your docs and update them in a single click.
Uppercase and lowercase tool
