What the New Year card maker does

It turns a photo you already have into a Happy New Year card with your own greeting printed on it. Choose a scene such as rooftop fireworks, a midnight countdown, a champagne toast or a snowy city night, pick one of four card layouts and type your message, with the year if you like. The AI rebuilds the scene around the same people and keeps every face, skin tone, hairstyle and pair of glasses, then letters your words onto the card. Save it as a 5×7 or 4×6 print file, send it on New Year's Eve, or post it at midnight.

Four card layouts

Fireworks look different on every layout. Switch between them before you make the card.

Full photo
The night sky, the fireworks and the people fill the card, and the greeting floats in the dark sky at the top. The most dramatic choice, best for evening and party photos.
Framed
The photo sits in a cream border scattered with gold stars, confetti and streamers, with the greeting on the border underneath. Classic and easy to print on any paper.
Vintage
The card is repainted as a 1950s gouache illustration with a starry border, like an old-fashioned New Year postcard. A warm choice for relatives who keep cards on the mantel.
Minimal
The photo takes the top two-thirds and a clean ivory band holds the greeting in elegant serif type with a small burst of gold stars. Calm, modern and very easy to read.

Print sizes: 5×7 and 4×6

Under every finished card there are two print buttons. They save a JPEG at 300 dpi in the exact card shape, trimmed from the center, so you can send it straight to a photo kiosk, an online print service or your home printer.

Size	Pixels at 300 dpi	Good for
5×7	1500 × 2100	The standard greeting card. Fits an A7 envelope. Pick the 5×7 card size before you make the card for the closest fit.
4×6	1200 × 1800	A regular photo print. Cheapest at drugstore kiosks and fits most frames and postcards.

Landscape cards are saved in landscape automatically.
Planning to print? Choose HD before you make the card. Standard is fine for texting and social posts.
Matte or textured paper suits the Vintage layout; glossy paper suits Full photo cards.
Ordering a stack? Most print services take the file as it is, with no extra margins needed.

Make it a video

5 seconds: fireworks bloom, confetti falls, everyone smiles · The card stays as the first frame while fireworks bloom behind, confetti drifts down and everyone smiles for 5 seconds. It costs 28 credits, a fun one to send right at midnight.

Photos that make the best New Year cards

Good photos

Faces clear and well lit, even if the photo was taken indoors
Couples and groups standing close together
Some space above heads, where the sky and greeting will go
Pets looking at the camera with their face fully visible

Photos to avoid

Night photos so dark that faces are hard to see
Faces turned away or hidden behind glasses being raised
Heavy beauty filters or blurry party shots
Screenshots with stickers, dates or text on them

Tips for a card worth sending at midnight

Want the year on the card? Type it in the greeting, for example Happy New Year and the year; it is printed exactly as written.
Couple photo? Champagne toast and Fireworks look best. A whole family? Try Sparklers.
Choose a landscape size like 7×5 for wide group photos so nobody gets cropped.
Make 2 or 4 versions; fireworks and confetti come out a little different every time.
Sending by phone? The 5-second video version often gets more replies than a still card.

Questions

Is the New Year card maker free?

New accounts get 30 free credits, enough for 2 HD New Year cards. After that one HD card costs 11 credits and a Standard one 6. There is no subscription, and failed results are refunded automatically.

Can I put the year and my own message on the card?

Yes. Type any greeting up to 50 characters, including the year, and an optional sign-off up to 40 characters, such as Emma & Jack. Both are printed exactly as typed, in any language.

What size should I print a New Year card?

5×7 inches is the usual greeting card size and fits an A7 envelope; 4×6 is a standard photo print. Every card has buttons that save either size as a 300 dpi JPEG, portrait or landscape.

Will we still look like ourselves?

Yes. Each scene keeps every person's face, skin tone, hairstyle, glasses and age from your photo. The clearer the faces, the closer the likeness; the Vintage layout softens faces into a painted look by design.

Can I make one card for friends who are in different photos?

Yes. Add one photo per person or pet, up to 4 photos, and the card brings everyone together, for example around the Countdown clock or with Sparklers.

Can my dog or cat be on the New Year card?

Yes. Party with my pet puts you and your pet on the sofa in a tiny gold party hat, and any other scene works with a photo of you together. Pets keep their own markings and eye color.

Can I turn the card into a fireworks video?

Yes. Tap Make it a video under any card for a 5-second clip where fireworks bloom, confetti falls and everyone smiles, for 28 credits. The lettering stays still.

Can I use someone else's photo?

Only with their permission. Use photos of yourself, people who agreed, or your own pets, and never use a card to pretend to be someone else.
