How can I convert a custom card product to a png or pdf file?

Topic summary

Goal: A merchant is building a custom card designer where customers add their own text/images and wants the final, purchased design delivered digitally as a PNG or PDF. They ask if it’s possible to automatically convert the customer’s finished design into an image/PDF at purchase.

Context: They reference an example site that produces physical cards, but their use case requires digital fulfillment. The intent is to send the generated PNG or PDF to the customer after checkout.

Clarifications requested: Other participants ask for more detail about the implementation and specifically the format of the card output (e.g., is the card already an image?). No technical approach or app/plugin recommendations have been provided yet.

Status: Unresolved. Key open questions include how the builder represents the design and what method will be used to render and deliver the PNG/PDF post-purchase. No code, attachments, or media beyond a reference link.

I am creating a product builder so that the client can create his own custom cards with his own inscriptions, pictures, etc. I need to make sure that the final product, the card he created, is given to the client as a png image or pdf file. Is there a way to do this and turn the product when purchased into png?

@Rostislav333 hi,
can you explain more to understand?

I’m making a custom card builder following the example of this site https://sportifycards.com/collections/football/products/24-flashback But on this site they make them themselves and sell physical goods. My product must be digital. After the client has purchased, send him a png of the created product or a pdf. I need to convert the final product that the client made in the builder into a picture and send it to him. Is it possible to implement this?

what it the format of the card? Is it an image?
