Short version. For the full list and common mistakes, see the "Cards from Photos" page. Photo cards.

  • JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 20 MB
  • Close-up face in focus, even lighting
  • From one to four people: upload a separate photo with one face for each

Which photo to use for this card

Birthday card FAQ

What should I write if I'm at a loss for words?

Select the recipient under "To" and choose the tone ("Warm" or "Humorous"): the wish will appear in the field. You can rewrite it completely; there is enough space for 140 characters. A short phrase reads better on the card than a long one: captions at the bottom often end up small.

How do I make a joke on the card without offending the birthday person?

Joke about a habit or a shared memory rather than age or appearance. The "Humorous" tone will suggest a ready-made joke that you can edit before generating. If you haven't known each other long, choose the "Warm" tone.

How does "Movie Poster" differ from "Magazine Cover" and "Neon"?

"Movie Poster" turns the birthday person into the star of a premiere: it's a playful option. "Magazine Cover" styles the card like a magazine with a "Person of the Year" headline: festive with a smile. "Neon" places the greeting on a brick wall as a glowing sign. You can see how it looks with your photo in the free preview.

Can the card be signed by multiple people?

The wish is free text up to 140 characters: write something like "From the whole team", for example. The name field holds the birthday person's name. You can see how the AI positions the caption in the preview; if there is a typo, click "Edit" before paying.

Can I make the card in advance, and who sends it to the birthday person?

Yes, you can do it in advance: you receive the watermark-free card right after payment. We don't send it to the birthday person: it comes to you, and you decide when and to whom to forward it. Even a week before the celebration.
