What the Thanksgiving card maker does

It turns an everyday photo into a finished Thanksgiving card with your own words printed on it. You pick a scene, such as a harvest table, a pumpkin patch or a fireplace, choose one of four card layouts and type a greeting. The AI rebuilds the picture around the same people, keeps every face, skin tone, hairstyle and pair of glasses, and letters your greeting onto the card. Then you save it as a 5×7 or 4×6 print file, text it, email it or post it.

Four card layouts

The same photo and greeting look very different depending on the layout. You can change it any time before you make the card.

Full photo
The scene runs to every edge and the greeting sits in an open part of the picture, usually the top. Best for photos with some sky, wall or table above the people.
Framed
Your photo sits in a cream paper border with autumn leaves, wheat and little pumpkins, and the greeting goes on the border below. It looks most like a store-bought photo card.
Vintage
The whole card is repainted as a 1950s gouache illustration with a leafy border. Faces stay recognizable but soften into a painted look, a lovely choice for grandparents.
Minimal
The photo fills the top two-thirds and a clean off-white band holds the greeting in serif type. The calmest option, and the easiest to read from across the room.

Print sizes: 5×7 and 4×6

Questions

Is the Thanksgiving card maker free?

New accounts get 30 free credits, enough for 2 HD Thanksgiving 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 write my own message on the card?

Yes. Type any greeting up to 50 characters and an optional sign-off line up to 40 characters, such as Love, the Parkers. The card prints them exactly as you type them, in any language.

What size should I print a Thanksgiving card?

5×7 inches is the standard greeting card size and fits an A7 envelope; 4×6 is a regular photo print. Under each card you can save either one as a 300 dpi JPEG, in portrait or landscape.

Will the people on the card still look like us?

Yes. The scenes are written to keep each person's face, skin tone, hairstyle, glasses and age as in your photo. Clear, well-lit faces give the closest likeness, and the Vintage layout softens faces into a painted look on purpose.

Can I put family members from different photos on one card?

Yes. Add one photo per person or pet, up to 4 photos in total, and the card places everyone together in one scene, for example around the Harvest table.

Can I make a Thanksgiving card of my dog or cat?

Yes. Pick Pet with a bow tie for a card of just your pet, or add a photo of yourself with your pet in any other scene. Pets keep their own breed, markings and eye color.

Can I send the card as a video?

Yes. Under each card tap Make it a video: leaves drift, candles flicker and everyone smiles in a 5-second clip for 28 credits, with the lettering kept still.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

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