AI Family Christmas Card Maker
Upload up to six photos taken apart and get one finished Christmas card: the whole family together, up to 15 people, with Merry Christmas lettered on it.
Holiday cards made from separate family photos
Each card below started as three to six everyday photos taken in different places. The families are AI-generated examples, not real people. Every card carries the greeting of its page language: Christmas in English and German, New Year in Russian, and a nengajo for the Japanese New Year.

Nengajo 2027, 8 people from 3 photosEveryone on one card, even if they live apart
Grandparents in another city, a student abroad, the cousins, the dog: upload up to six photos, one person or a few in each, and everyone is placed together in one natural photo on the card, each person and pet exactly once, with faces, hair and skin tones unchanged. The German card here was made from six photos of twelve people.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a Christmas card with a family photo if we were never all together?
Upload up to six separate photos, one person or several in each, and the AI places everyone together in one natural photo on a finished Christmas card. Faces, hair and skin tones stay as they are, each person and pet appears exactly once, and "Merry Christmas" is lettered on the card. Up to 15 people work; entering the total number of people helps make sure nobody is missing.
Can I put our family name on the card?
Yes. Open "Adjust the prompt" and replace "With love from our family" with your own line, such as "Love, the Parkers". Keep the quotation marks and the words are lettered as you typed them; short lines work best. Check the spelling on the card before you print it, and generate again if a letter is off.
Is there a free AI Christmas card maker with photos?
Yes, you can try this one for free. New accounts get 10 to 30 free credits depending on country, no credit card needed. A card costs 5 credits in standard 2K quality, so the free credits cover at least 2 cards. Downloads on the free plan carry a small Vidney watermark; on any paid plan, or for 12 months after a one-time purchase, they download clean. After that, 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. The price is always on the button before you create.
Is the card sharp enough to print?
Yes, at normal card sizes. The standard card is 2K, 2400 × 1792 pixels, which is about 300 dpi at 8 × 6 inches, so it prints sharp at 4 × 6 and 5 × 7. For a bigger print, a framed photo or a family of ten or more, tick print quality (4K) before you create: small faces stay sharper, and it costs a little more. The card is 4:3, so choose "fit" at the print shop or keep a thin border so no face is cropped.
Can I make a Happy Holidays or New Year card instead of Christmas?
Yes. Open "Adjust the prompt" and change "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" or "Happy New Year". The card design also follows the page language: the Russian and Korean pages make New Year cards, the Japanese page makes a nengajo for 2027, the Year of the Sheep, and the Traditional Chinese page makes a Lunar New Year card.
Can I use photos of celebrities or people I do not know?
No. Only use photos of your own family and of people who agreed to be on the card; you tick a box confirming this before you create. Photos of celebrities and other public figures are not supported, and the card should never be passed off as a real photo of someone who did not take part.
