Start with the faces
Use 1–6 reference photos total. A recent, well-lit picture of each child or adult works better than a distant crowd shot. Everyone may be in separate photos. Avoid sunglasses and faces hidden by hats.

How to choose photos for a Santa portrait
Include siblings or pets deliberately
Make sure each intended person or animal is clearly shown in your uploads. Leave out group photos containing people you do not want included. For pets, show the face and distinctive markings.
Use style notes for one clear request
Describe a simple outfit or arrangement, such as two children in navy sweaters beside Santa. Exact clothing, written names and tiny accessories may change. You can adjust scenes and outfits before generating the preview.
Check the result before making cards
Review every face, hands and the number of people. Santa is generated too. Download the original paid file and test its crop in the card-size checker before ordering prints.
The scene illustrations below show styling ideas. For recorded product tests with the actual inputs alongside each result, view our reference and result library. AI can change faces, ages, clothing and small details; inspect your own free preview before paying.
An AI Santa photo is an imagined portrait made from your reference pictures. You do not need a photo taken with Santa: the generator creates Santa, clothing, poses and surroundings. Your uploads guide who appears, while the preview lets you check whether their likeness is convincing.
Choose a close, simple portrait for a card with a small photo window. For a wider family group, allow more room around the people and inspect everyone before buying. You receive digital images; card design, printing and shipping are separate.

Common questions
Can I put my child in a picture with Santa?
Yes. Upload a clear reference photo and choose a Santa scene. The result is a newly generated portrait, not a record of an actual Santa visit. Review facial likeness and details in the free preview.
Can siblings, adults and pets be in the same Santa picture?
You can include them in your reference photos, either together or separately. Upload up to six photos total. More faces make the result harder, so check that nobody is missing, duplicated or altered.
Is the Santa photo preview free?
Yes. One watermarked preview is free, with no account or card required. Paid digital galleries are 30 photos for $19, 60 for $29 or 120 for $49.
Do you print or ship Christmas cards?
No. We deliver digital portrait files. You can use a separate card designer or printer; check the image resolution and crop against that printer’s requirements.
Can I keep the exact outfit from my original photo?
The AI normally creates new clothing. Style notes can guide colors and outfits, but an exact garment, logo or accessory is not guaranteed.
What if the Santa portrait does not look right?
Check the free preview before paying. For a quality-issue review under our refund policy, contact us with your gallery link, affected photo numbers and the specific issue.
