Short version. Full list and common mistakes can be found on the “Cards from Photos” page. Photo cards.

  • Close-up face in focus, even lighting

FAQ about birthday cards

What to write in the greeting if you're at a loss for words?

Select the recipient under “To whom” and choose the tone “Warm” or “Humorous”: a greeting will appear in the field. You can rewrite it completely; there is space for up to 140 characters. A short phrase looks better on a card than a long one: a bottom caption often turns out small.

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

Joke about a habit or a shared memory, not about 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 the headline “Person of the Year”: celebratory and cheerful. “Neon” displays the greeting as a glowing sign on a brick wall. You can see how it looks with your photo in the free preview.

Can a card be signed by multiple people?

The greeting is free text up to 140 characters: for example, you can write “From the whole team”. The name field contains the birthday person's name. You can see how the neural network places the text in the preview; if a word has a typo, click “Edit” before paying.

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

Yes, you can make it in advance: you receive the watermark-free card immediately after payment. We do not send it to the birthday person: it comes to you, and when and to whom to forward it is up to you. Even a week before the celebration.
