Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. + +## Who it is for + +A parent or friend making a birthday or retirement gift who wants the person to laugh and say "I want that on my wall." + +## How to use it + +1. Open the page. It starts with a sample cover so you can see real output straight away. +2. Drop in a photo (or click the drop zone). Type a title, player name, tagline, a back-cover blurb and up to four stats (`Label: value`, one per line). +3. Pick SNES-era, PS1-era or handheld, choose a rating badge, and use zoom and the two pan sliders to crop the cover art. +4. Click **Download PNG** for the front and back together, or **Front only** / **Back only**. There is no watermark. + +The photo is read with browser built-ins and drawn on a canvas. The page makes no network requests with your data. + +## What is in this folder + +- `index.html`, `style.css`: the page, with the working tool at the top. +- `app.js`: all the logic, plain JavaScript, no libraries. The built-in sample photo is an embedded SVG that goes through the same loading and drawing code as your own photo. +- `test.js`: a small self-check for the text helpers (`node test.js`). + +## Honest limits + +- PNGs are screen resolution (1280×880 for the pair, 600×840 for one side), RGB. They are not 300 dpi or CMYK, and there is no box template. +- Cropping is a centered zoom with two pan sliders. No face detection, no rotation. +- The three styles are original looks inspired by their eras, not copies of real boxes or logos. Rating badges are not official ratings. +- The fake screenshots are pixelated crops of your photo. +- Nothing is saved; reloading starts over. Text uses your device's fonts. +- Not tested in a real browser by the author of this change; check the rendering on your device. + +## Print Pack and Family Shelf + +Both appear only as early-access tiers on the page (nothing is charged today). They do not exist in the code. Join through the issue form linked from the page header.
