Merry Christmas images, made by you

Two ways. From words: describe the picture in Image Studio and put the greeting in quotes, for example “a snowy village at night with the words ‘Merry Christmas’ across the sky”. From your photo: upload it, describe the Christmas scene and end with “keep my face exactly the same”. Pick the shape for where it's going, press Create and check the spelling. The button on this page opens GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst with a snowy village prompt filled in; the prompt guide has eight more.

Free to start. Sign in with Google, GitHub or Discord, with no card, and a new account gets 25 credits. Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan at 9 credits an image, so the starter credits make two. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (7.2 credits at 1K), Nano Banana 2.1 and Seedream 5.0 Pro use credits from one-time packs; the Starter pack is $15 for 1,300 credits, with no subscription.

Pick the shape in Image Studio before you press Create: 1:1 for a WhatsApp chat or a group, 9:16 for WhatsApp status and Instagram or Facebook stories, 4:5 or 1:1 for an Instagram feed post, and 16:9 for a desktop. Edit Studio can also resize a finished image to fixed canvases: Story 1080 × 1920, Insta post 1080 × 1080, Insta portrait 1080 × 1350 and Facebook post 1200 × 630.

Image models draw letters as shapes, not as typed text, so every extra word is another chance for a slip. Keep the greeting short, put it in quotes and use GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, the model tagged for text rendering. If a letter is still wrong, run it again, change the word with Edit Text in Image in Edit Studio, or make the picture with “no text” and type the greeting with the free text tool, where the spelling is exactly what you type.

Yes. Upload a clear, front-facing photo, describe the scene (a lit tree behind you, a red knit sweater, a mug of hot cocoa) and end with “keep my face, hair and expression exactly the same”. A photo edit costs 11.7 credits on Sunburst at 1K or 9.9 on Qwen Image 3.0. Use only your own photo, photos of adults who agreed, or your pet, and leave children's photos out. For more photo ideas, see the AI Christmas photo generator.

Put one short line in the picture, such as “Wishing you a Merry Christmas”, and the longer wish in the message you send with it. If the full wish must be on the image, make the picture with a plain area and “no text”, then type the message in Edit Studio's free text tool. A long sentence rendered by the model is where letters slip most.

Kenerate's Terms say Kenerate claims no ownership of what you generate and you may use it commercially, subject to the Terms and the law, and you're responsible for how you use it. So a shop's Christmas post or a newsletter header is fine. One caveat: the US Copyright Office's 2025 report ties copyright to human authorship, so an image made entirely from a prompt may not be protected against others copying it.

This page is for greeting images you share: text art, scenes, wishes and your photo in a scene, sized for chats, posts and stories. The AI Christmas card generator covers cards, layouts and print. Christmas backgrounds cover desktop, video-call and banner backgrounds with room for your own content, and Christmas wallpapers cover phone and desktop wallpapers. Same models, different jobs.

This page makes still images. To make the snow fall or the lights twinkle, take your finished image to image to video and animate it into a short clip. Video needs credits from a paid pack.

Almost always a child word or an age. The filter blocks words such as child, kid, baby and teen, and ages under 18, and it catches everyday phrases too: write “pale blue” instead of “baby blue”, “family-friendly” instead of “kid-friendly”, and leave ages out. Remove the word and run it again.
