Cat Christmas Card Generator

Fireside is the classic: a red Santa hat, a cream knitted scarf, a fireplace and a decorated tree behind. Warm bokeh lights keep the background soft so the cat stays the subject.

Snow window is quieter: the cat on a windowsill in a knitted jumper, snow falling outside, a cup of cocoa and the tree reflected in the glass. It suits a smaller, more intimate card.

Santa paw is the studio version: a miniature Santa coat and hat, a gift box held in both front paws and a deep red-and-green palette. It is the most graphic of the three and the easiest to print at small sizes.

Leave the greeting until last. Generate the portrait first, then place your text in the empty area at the top. A 4:5 crop gives you a tall card; 1:1 suits a square insert; 16:9 works for a digital card or an email header.

Keep the cat's face at least a third of the way down the frame. Card printers trim a few millimetres on every edge, and a face pressed against the top margin is the first thing to get cut.

For a physical card, the 2K JPEG prints cleanly at 5×7 inches. If you are ordering a larger format, upscale the file first rather than letting the printer do it.

The cat's face, fur colour, markings, eye colour and body proportions stay anchored to your photo. The hat, scarf, jumper, fireplace and tree are generated around it.

That is why the photo should show the cat's face clearly and not be a extreme close-up of one eye. A sitting cat with a visible chest gives the model somewhere to place the scarf and coat. A cat already wearing a collar is fine; the model can keep it or replace it depending on the preset.

If the first result crops an ear or hides the face behind a hat, run it again. The pose varies slightly between renders, and the second try is often the keeper.

Each card portrait costs 1 credit; a 10-credit pack is $9.90. Failed renders are refunded to your balance. Output is a 2K JPEG with no watermark, usually in 20–40 seconds.

If you want the card to move — a small head tilt, a blinking eye, a flickering fire — the same photo can be animated in the cat dance video generator for 5 credits.
