One photo in · Festive card out · Cost shown before you generate
AI Christmas Card Generator
Upload one photo and turn it into a festive holiday card — keep your face, pick the scene, and see the credit cost before you generate.
Upload one clear photo and the model sets you beside a lit tree in a knitted sweater, still unmistakably you.
A cosy fireside, a snowy doorstep, a red-and-gold studio set, a whole family on the couch — describe it and steer the card instead of guessing.
The credit estimate appears up front, and a failed generation is never charged.
AI Christmas Card Generator
One photo, a festive card
A real edit made on Kavel with the same model this tool uses. Drag the divider to compare the plain portrait with the finished card. Every output is AI-generated, so your picture varies with your photo, your prompt, and the scene you describe — treat this as a preview of what the tool can do, not a fixed result.

Make a festive card in three steps
From one plain photo to a card-ready portrait, with the cost shown before you commit.
Upload a photo
Add one clear picture with the faces visible and evenly lit. A sharp, front-facing shot gives the model the most to dress up.
Describe the scene
Set the look: a knitted sweater, a hat, a tree covered in fairy lights, a fireplace and stockings, snow through the window. Specific direction keeps the card on-brief.
Check credits and generate
Confirm the estimate, generate the card image, and download it for print. If a run fails, it is free, so you can adjust and try another scene.
Who turns a photo into a card
Different senders, the same photo edit, one simple workflow.
Families sending cards
Dress everyone in matching knits and set them by a tree without getting a single person to sit still for a real shoot.
Brands & seasonal posts
Turn a team photo into a festive greeting for the feed, made in an afternoon rather than booked in October.
Late planners
Make a card-ready portrait in December when every studio in town is fully booked and the post office is closing in.
Holiday card FAQ
Common questions about turning a photo into a festive greeting card with Kavel.
It restyles one ordinary photo into a festive greeting-card portrait — a knitted sweater, a hat, a lit tree, stockings on the mantel — while keeping your face and expression recognizable. On Kavel it runs on the Nano Banana image model, and the credit cost is shown before you generate.
You get free credits to try the studio when you sign up, and a failed generation is never charged. Beyond the free credits, an edit spends credits based on the resolution and count, and the estimate always appears before you generate.
Use one sharp picture with the faces clearly visible and evenly lit. A front-facing shot gives the model the most to dress up, so the likenesses survive the sweaters and the fairy lights.
Yes. Upload a photo with everyone in it and describe the scene — matching knits, a couch by the tree, a snowy doorstep. The more people in the frame, the more it helps to start from a sharp, evenly lit picture.
Yes. Generate at a higher resolution if you plan to print the cards, then download the file and send it to your printer. The output is yours to use — just make sure you own the photo you uploaded.
Be specific: name the knitwear, the set, the lighting, and the mood, and mention keeping the faces unchanged. Detailed direction keeps the card on-brief, and because failed runs are free, you can refine the prompt and try again. A clear, well-lit starting photo also helps the model hold every likeness in the frame.
