A sample image stays here until you run your first generation.
Holiday scenes that leave room for a greeting
These compositions keep the edges calm so you can add text later in your card editor without covering a face.
Winter Window
Soft snowfall outside, warm interior light, and simple winter clothing.
Vintage Postcard
Faded film colour, soft grain, a decorated mantel, and clean space for a greeting.
Nordic Cabin
Warm wood walls, wool sweaters, candle light, and snowy pines through the window.
Snowy Portrait
Falling snow, warm holiday lights, a dark coat, and a scarf for an outdoor card.
Make the photo, add the greeting later
AI image models still struggle with text. Instead of asking for a greeting inside the image, generate a clean photo with calm space at the top or bottom. Add the text in your card editor, where you control the font, size, and spelling.
That workflow also lets you reuse the same photo for a printed card, an email, and a social post with different greetings. Generate once, adapt the layout three times.
Working with family photos
Use a photo where every face is visible and the light is even. If you are combining people from different photos, generate each person separately in the same scene, then composite them. One generation with four or five faces is much more likely to distort someone.
Keep the clothing simple and the background uncluttered. A warm sweater and a neutral wall edit better than a busy pattern and a cluttered room. If you want a specific family tradition — matching pajamas, a pet, a particular ornament — describe it explicitly.
Pets and mixed groups
Pets work well when their face and fur pattern are clear. Use the pet costume generator for a full costume, or this page for a simple holiday scene. For a family with pets, generate the people first, then the pets, then combine them in a layout.
Check every face and paw before printing. AI group images often lose a hand, merge two people, or change a pet’s markings. A quick zoom at 100% catches most of these problems.

AI Christmas card FAQ
How to handle group photos, pets, and text on a holiday card.
Can the AI add “Merry Christmas” to the image?
It can try, but text is unreliable. The safer workflow is to generate a text-free photo and add the greeting in a card editor or design tool. That also makes it easier to fix spelling and change the message.
Can I use a photo with four or five people?
Yes, but generate the group from a single well-lit photo and check every face. If the result distorts someone, generate each person separately in the same scene and composite them.
Can I include my dog or cat?
Yes. Use a clear pet photo and describe the breed and markings. For a full costume, use the pet costume generator instead.
Can I print the result?
Yes. Download the highest resolution available and check the image at the final print size. For a large card, start with a sharp source photo and avoid heavy cropping.
Will the colours match my card design?
You can ask for a warm, neutral, or cool palette. For a precise brand or card colour, generate a neutral image and adjust the colour in your design tool.
