Up to six separate photos, one family picture
Grandparents in another city, a sister abroad, the dog who never sits still: add up to five more photos and everyone in them is first placed together in one natural picture, then dressed for Christmas by the tree. Each photo can hold one person or several, and faces, hair and skin tones stay as they are.

Frequently asked questions
How do I combine separate photos into one Christmas family photo?
Upload the first photo, then add the others in the "Another photo" slots, up to six photos in total. Everyone in them is first placed together in one natural group picture, then turned into a Christmas family portrait by the tree. Each photo can show one person or several, and pets count too. Faces, hair and skin tones stay as they are, and nobody extra is added.
Can I make a Christmas photo of my dog or cat?
Yes. Pick the pet style and upload a clear photo of your pet with the face visible. It keeps the breed, fur colors and markings and adds a small Santa hat and scarf among the presents. To have your pet in the family picture instead, use the family style and add the pet as another photo.
Can I put our names on the Christmas card?
Yes. Pick the Christmas card style, open "Adjust the prompt" and replace "From our family to yours" with your own line, such as "Love, the Parkers". Keep the quotation marks and the words are lettered exactly as you typed them. Short lines work best.
Is the AI Christmas photo generator free?
New accounts get free credits, enough for a few Christmas photos. One picture costs 3 credits at the default settings, and adding more photos adds 3 credits for putting everyone together first, whether you add one more or five. The card style costs a little more because it uses a model built for lettering; the total is on the button before you confirm. Credits come with a subscription plan; the cheapest, Starter, is $9 a month. You can also pay once with no subscription: $0.99 for one image or $1.99 for three, and those credits stay valid for 12 months.
Which photos work best?
Clear, well-lit photos with every face visible, framed from the waist up or closer, as JPG, PNG or WebP. Group photos work as long as nobody is hidden behind someone else. Sunglasses and heavy shadows give the AI less to work with. We tested six separate photos with up to nine people, and seven people with a dog, and everyone was in the picture.
Do I own the image? Is there a watermark?
Yes, the image is yours to use, including commercially, subject to the source model terms. Downloads on the free plan carry a small Vidney watermark; on any paid plan they download clean.
