📖 How to Use KirtanXCards

01

Add Songs

Use Manual to type everything, Spotify Search to auto-fill art + info, or paste a quick "Song | Artist | Lyrics" block via URL Guide.

02

Get Lyrics

Use the Lyrics Helper tab to open Genius, AZLyrics etc. Paste lyrics, trim to 3–6 lines, assign to your card. Handwriting fonts available!

03

Add Images

Upload album art from your phone/PC using the 📁 button — most reliable. Or paste image URL from Spotify Web Player or Google Images.

04

Pick Style

5 card types: Spotify Canvas, Lyric Poster, Album Cover, Minimal Quote, Polaroid. Mix and match fonts (including handwriting!) and 20 color palettes.

05

Arrange Order

After adding songs, drag cards in the Arrange panel to set the exact print order before generating your A4 sheet.

06

Print

Hit Print/PDF → Enable Background Graphics → A4 paper → Save as PDF. Take PDF to local shop. ₹10–30/page.

07

Export/Import

Save your song collection as JSON file with custom name. Import to restore or share collections. Images need re-uploading after import.


🖼️ Card Types

🟥 Spotify Canvas

Bold color background matching Spotify's style. Album art + song top, big bold lyrics center, Spotify logo bottom. Best for wall art.

📜 Lyric Poster

Editorial, centered italic serif style. Perfect for framing. Use handwriting fonts for a personal touch.

🎨 Album Cover

Your uploaded photo as full background with gradient overlay. Lyrics and song name on top. Most cinematic.

✨ Minimal Quote

Clean and literary. Big quote mark, italic lyrics, song/artist at bottom. Great as bookmarks.

📷 Polaroid

Classic white polaroid frame. Album art top, song + lyric snippet below. Cute for pocket gifts.


💡 Printing Tips

💰

Print Cheap in India

Say "A4 photo sheet, full color, background graphics". ₹10–30/page. Cut 6 cards = ₹2–5/card. Laminate for ₹5 extra. Total: under ₹10/card.

🎨

Best Paper Types

Glossy photo paper for vibrant Spotify-style cards. Matte for minimal/poster style. Regular A4 works too for test prints.

✂️

Cutting Neatly

Print guides: use 8mm margin setting and align cards to that. Paper cutter / guillotine gives best edges. Scissors work fine too.

🎁

Gift Ideas

Hole punch corner + ribbon = music bookmark. Frame an A5 lyric poster. Stick on wall in a constellation. Attach to birthday gifts instead of tags.

🎧 Spotify Integration

Auto-configured

✅ Ready to use — no setup needed

Spotify search is pre-configured and works out of the box. Just switch to 🔍 Spotify Search in the Make Cards tab and start typing any song name.

✓ Auto album art ✓ Song + artist autofill ✓ No login required ✓ No credentials to enter ✓ Serverless & secure

⚙️ How It Works

🔒

Server-side proxy

Your Spotify API credentials are stored securely as server environment variables on Vercel — they are never exposed to the browser or visible in source code.

🔍

How search works

When you search a song, the request goes to /api/spotify (a serverless function) which fetches results from Spotify using the secure credentials and returns them to you.

⚡

Instant & cached

Results are cached for 60 seconds on the server — searches feel instant and don't waste API quota on repeated queries.
