What does this Christmas card maker do?
It puts your photo and greeting on a Christmas card at a real print size: 5x7 inches, A6 or a 5-inch square. It adds the bleed printers need (1/8 inch or 3 mm on every side) and saves a 300 DPI JPG you can print at home or send to any photo lab, plus a smaller image to share.

Can AI make my Christmas card from a photo?
Yes, but not this maker: it puts your photo on the card exactly as it is, which keeps every face real. To restage the photo as a Christmas scene, use an AI image editor that keeps faces, then bring the result here to size it with bleed. The Christmas Card Agent does both and hands back the print files.
What size is a Christmas photo card?
In the US the standard is 5 x 7 inches, printed from a 5.25 x 7.25 inch file with 1/8 inch bleed on every side: 1575 x 2175 pixels at 300 DPI. In the UK and Europe it is usually A6, 105 x 148 mm, printed from 111 x 154 mm with 3 mm bleed: 1311 x 1819 pixels.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. Print the JPG on 5x7 card stock or photo paper with your printer's borderless setting, or print it on letter or A4 paper and trim along the card edge. The bleed means a slightly uneven cut still leaves no white line.
