Christmas card generator
An AI Christmas card generator here means one paid edit of your own photo, not a blank template. You upload the picture, choose a scene, and download a card PNG. Print sizes also include a 300 dpi PDF. The charge is $9.00 once, with no subscription and no free generation. Refunds are within 14 days.
Who a Christmas card generator is for
Use this when you already took the picture and you want a finished card file, not a blank template with a hole for a snapshot. It fits a household sending one design to relatives, a couple who will not book a studio this year, and a person making a single card for a parent who lives somewhere else. It is the wrong tool if you need a folded commercial run with a bleed, envelopes, and a mailing list. We deliver files. You print them or send the PNG.
The order redraws the photo into the scene you pick, then sets the greeting, the recipient, and the signature in type on the card. The image model does not spell that text, so a name stays as you typed it. You still have to look at faces and hands before you print, because a likeness can miss even when the prompt asked for it to stay.
How to photograph the picture you upload
Use a photo where every face you care about is turned toward the camera, in focus, and free of sunglasses, a hat brim, or hair across the eyes. Soft daylight or even indoor light beats a direct flash. A recent photo matches how people look this year. If someone got a haircut or new glasses, use a picture from after that change. The model can change clothes and the room. It cannot invent a face it cannot see.
One sharp group photo is easier than four dark crops. Upload separate photos, up to four, only when people cannot stand in the same frame. Each file can be JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 10 MB. A HEIC photo from an iPhone is converted to JPEG in the browser before it is stored. If JavaScript is off, export a JPEG yourself. The server does not decode HEIC. Tick the permission box only if every adult agreed and you are the parent or guardian of any child, or you have that parent's permission.
Which size to choose
Choose 5×7 if the card will be printed and mailed. You get a 1500×2100 PNG and a PDF page of 5 by 7 inches, which is 300 dpi. Choose 4×6 for a smaller print: 1200×1800 pixels on a 4 by 6 inch PDF, also 300 dpi. Choose the square if the card is mainly a post. Choose the 9:16 story if it is for a phone screen. Square and story orders are PNG only. They do not include a print PDF.
The scene and the greeting work the same way at every size. Pick the size for where the card will be seen. A story crop is tall, so a wide group photo can lose people at the edges. A 5×7 portrait crop keeps more of a standing group. If you are unsure, order the 5×7, because that file is the one a print shop can place at actual size without you rebuilding the layout.
What Christmas scenes are built in?
Decorated fireplace, Snowy porch, Photo with Santa, Matching red pajamas, Ugly Christmas sweater, Pet in the portrait, Anime Christmas portrait. Each scene has its own prompt. The matching-pajamas prompt keeps identity and asks for matching red pajamas. The Santa prompt adds Santa beside you and forbids a face swap. The pet prompt asks the model to keep the animal's markings. The anime prompt asks for an illustration that still looks like the same people, not a celebrity.
You do not write the scene prompt yourself. You pick the scene, and the fixed prompt is what the model receives, plus the photos. Greeting words are not part of that prompt. If you want a sweater color or a pet in the frame, choose the scene that already says so. There is no extra text box for a custom prompt in this version.
Steps from photo to download
Open the make page. Add one to four photos. Pick the scene and the size. Type a greeting, a recipient, and a signature only if you want them on the card. Leave them blank if you only want the portrait. Confirm permission, then continue to checkout. There is no account. The only email is the one you type for the receipt. When payment is confirmed, the image job starts. Keep the order link. That address is how you come back to the downloads.
Uploaded photos are deleted when the portrait is saved. Downloads stay 30 days after payment, then they are deleted. If you close the tab, the order link still works. Read the greeting on the finished card before you send it. Count the people. Look at eyes, teeth, hands, and any pet. The card is labeled as AI-generated. If the file never arrives, or the likeness is unusable, use the refund window stated in the footer. A request for a face swap or another prohibited use is refused and is not treated as a failed print.
How is this different from a card template?
A template leaves a hole for a snapshot you drop in. This order rebuilds the photo as a Christmas scene, then places your words in the footer of the card. You are not laying out layers in a design app. You also do not get a blank inside for a handwritten letter unless you print the PDF and write on the back yourself. The file is a single page.
