# Upload Your Own Design

**Uploading your own design**

**Can I use my own custom design instead of an Evite template?**\
Yes. Evite offers Upload Your Own Design templates so you can bring a design you've already created. A few things to know before you start:

* Accepted file types are JPG and PNG only — PDFs and Word documents can't be uploaded.
* Any text you want on the Invitation needs to be baked into your image file. You won't be able to add text boxes on top of an uploaded design in Evite.
* Upload Your Own Design templates are Premium — there's a charge to send. View pricing [here](https://support.evite.com/support/solutions/articles/72000576133-invitation-pricing).

**How do I upload my design and send the Invitation?**

**My design is an unusual shape or size. Can I still upload it?**\
