The visible controls cover both content and physical wear, including fading, creases, stains, ink wear, torn edges, and punch holes. Twelve listed styles range from Box-Office Red and Arena Blue to Dot-Matrix Mono and '90s Card variants. Outputs include PNG, SVG, print-ready PDF, and Wallet Sheet PDF.
