Family Christmas card

A family Christmas card from this site starts with one to four real photos of your household. The edit keeps each face as the instruction to the model, then builds one shared scene. You pay $9.00 once and download a PNG. 5x7 and 4x6 cards include a 300 dpi PDF. Refunds are within 14 days.

Who a family card is for

This page is for a household that wants one shared Christmas picture: parents and children, a couple, grandparents with the kids, or relatives who live in different cities and cannot sit for one photo. It is also for the person who usually organizes the card and needs a file this week, not a studio date in three weeks. It is a weak fit for a school class of twenty faces. The upload limit is four photos, and fewer, clearer faces match better.

The prompt tells the model to keep every person's face, hair, and identity, then place those people in one scene. That is an instruction, not a guarantee. A toddler turned away, a face in deep shadow, or two people who look alike in a tiny crop are the cases that go wrong. If the result misses someone, do not mail it. Use the refund window in the footer if it is unusable.

How to photograph a family for this edit

Prefer one sharp group photo where every face is visible, eyes open, and nobody is cut off at the edge. Stand far enough back that heads are not huge in the frame and not so far that faces are a few pixels. Even window light is kinder than an on-camera flash, which blows out skin and hides eyes. Take the photo this season if anyone's hair, glasses, or height changed.

If people live apart, upload up to four separate photos instead of one group. Use one clear photo of each person, facing the camera, without sunglasses. Do not mix a photo from ten years ago with one from last week unless you want the card to show those ages. A phone photo is fine if it is JPG, PNG, or WebP, or a HEIC file the browser converts to JPEG. Each file can be up to 10 MB.

Children may be in the photo only if you are the parent or guardian, or you have that parent's permission. The order form asks you to confirm that before upload. Adults need to have agreed. The acceptable use rules forbid sexual or abusive images of anyone, including minors, and they forbid a face swap.

Which size to choose for a family card

Mailing a card to relatives is a 5×7 job: a 1500×2100 PNG and a PDF page of 5 by 7 inches at 300 dpi. A smaller stocking-stuffer print is 4×6, at 1200×1800 pixels on a 4 by 6 inch PDF, also 300 dpi. If the card is only for a group chat or a post, the square PNG is enough and it does not include a print PDF. A 9:16 story is for a phone screen. It is a tall crop, so a wide sofa photo can lose the person on the end.

Put the greeting on the card when the file will be mailed. Type the recipient and the signature if you want them set in type. Leave them blank if you will write by hand on the back of the paper. The model does not invent the greeting. For a family of four standing, 5×7 keeps more of the bodies than a square crop. For a tight head-and-shoulders photo, either print size works.

How do I put the whole family in one AI Christmas photo?

Start with the clearest photo you have, not the one with the best tree already in the background. The scene replaces the room. Choose fireplace, snowy porch, Santa, matching red pajamas, ugly sweater, pet, or anime. Matching pajamas is the usual family-card scene when you want everyone in the same red set. Santa adds a separate Santa beside the group and does not replace a parent.

Open the make page, add the photos, pick the scene and the size, and confirm permission. Checkout asks for an email and takes one payment. There is no account. Keep the order link. When the files are ready, compare each face with the upload before you print a stack. Uploaded photos are deleted when the portrait is saved. Downloads stay 30 days after payment.

What to check before you print a stack

Count heads. Check that a child's age still looks right, that glasses did not vanish, and that hands are not melted into a sleeve. Read the greeting out loud. The card carries a visible AI-generated label, so do not tell people it is a studio photograph. If one person looks wrong and the others look right, it is still one order. You do not get a free second generation. A failed or unusable file can be refunded inside the window in the footer.

Common questions

Do matching pajamas work for a family?

Yes. The matching-pajamas scene asks for matching red pajamas while keeping identity.

Can the dog be in the family card?

Use the pet scene if the animal is already in the photo. The prompt tells the model to keep the pet's face and markings.

Is the greeting printed for me?

Yes, on the card PNG and, for print sizes, on the PDF. Leave it blank if you only want the portrait.
