A Christmas card photo is a small portrait with a lot of pressure on it. An AI generator lets you pick the setting first: fireplace, snow, market or tree.
Pose AI makes these from one selfie per person using Nano Banana 2 and Flux Kontext. For families, build the card from separate portraits and pairs.

- Pose is reliable with one or two people per image; combine portraits for larger families.
- Add the greeting yourself in a design app, since generated text is unreliable.
- Pose is $4.99 the first week, then $14.99 a week; not unlimited.
What a card photo needs
A card crop is usually portrait or square with space for a greeting, so ask for a calm background and leave room at the top or bottom. Choose one setting and keep the palette to two or three colours.

Sizing and printing
