How to make a family Christmas card photo from separate pictures
To make a family Christmas card from separate photos, upload one picture per person, two to five people plus up to two pets, and pick a scene: 1 photo per card on any plan, and new accounts get 3 free photos. The result is one photoreal picture of everyone together by the tree, on a snowy porch, in matching pajamas, by the fireplace, at a winter market or in a sleigh, with each face taken from its own photo.
- Collect one clear photo of each person, face visible, in daylight, and a close-up of each pet. Person 1 and Person 2 are required; Persons 3 to 5 and both pets are optional.
- Upload the people in the order you want them to stand, left to right, then the pets. Choose a Scene (By the tree is the default) and confirm that everyone shown agreed to it.
- Press Create (1 photo). Download the picture and add your greeting in the card designer of the print shop you use.
How does it keep everyone looking like themselves?
The prompt tells the model to show exactly as many people and pets as you uploaded photos, each once, and never to add a stranger, a child, Santa or an extra animal, or to blend two faces. The model can still slip, so count the faces; if someone is missing or doubled, run it again. Each person keeps their face, hair color and length, glasses and real age, so grandparents keep their grey hair; hair length drifts most, so check it before you print. Pets keep their coat and markings and are drawn at real size, on the floor or a lap rather than propped up to people's height.
There is no text in the picture at all: no greeting, no names, no letters on sweaters or stockings. Nothing comes out misspelled, and the wording stays yours.
What can you use it for?
- A holiday card when grown children, parents and grandparents live in different cities.
- The family photo with pets that never sit still.
- A card that includes a relative who couldn't travel home this year.

Winter market: four people, no pets. 2nd run; the 1st had strangers in the background, so the market is now empty. - AI-generated sample input
Result
Sleigh ride: five people, the maximum, and a dog. 2nd run; the 1st placed the horse beside the sleigh.
How do I get a better result?
- Use photos where each face is turned toward the camera and lit by daylight.
- One person or one animal per photo. A group shot in a single slot adds faces the card has no place for.
- Clothes in your photos don't matter: every scene dresses the family in coordinated outfits. Pets wear nothing but a collar they already have in their photo.
- For a relative in an old print, scan it flat without glare. If it is creased or faded, run it through Old Photo Restoration first and upload the restored file.
What goes wrong most often?
- Uploading the same person twice to fill a slot. The card is told to show exactly as many people as photos, so a duplicate turns into a twin.
- Expecting a greeting on the picture. The template adds no text; type it in the card layout when you order prints.
- Using it for a pet alone: Pet Christmas Portrait is made for that.
