The first result we got for each, at 1K. The small picture is the starting photo, made with the model; "Use this prompt" puts the prompt in the tool above. Swap in your own scene: a ski lodge, a gingerbread kitchen, the table on Christmas Eve.

Family Christmas photo

Nobody has to be in the same photo. Upload up to 4, one per person or pet, and say who should be in the picture: both of these started as three separate photos. Ask for "laughing" or "candid" so it looks less posed. For the family together without the Christmas theme, see the AI family portrait page.

The three starting photos: the woman's cafe selfie, the man's street snapshot and a golden retriever in a park (all made with the model)

Couple and pet Christmas photos

Two people from two photos work the same way. Pets keep their markings, so a Santa hat on your own cat still looks like your cat. For pets in other styles, from a royal oil painting to pop art, see the AI pet portrait page.

How to make an AI Christmas photo

  1. Upload your photos. One per person or pet, up to 4, with the faces clear and well lit.
  2. Describe the scene. The box starts with a sofa by the tree; change the place, the clothes or the light. Keep "with no one added" when it's just you.
  3. Pick a shape. 4:5 fits an Instagram post, 9:16 a story, 2:3 a 4 x 6 print. 1K and 2K both take 1 credit.
  4. Download it, or keep going. Not quite right? Say what to change: "make the sweater red", "add snow outside the window".

Ways to use it

A free AI Christmas photo

Your first image is free when you sign in with Google, and there's nothing to install. After that a photo takes 1 credit at 1K or 2K, and 100 credits cost $9.90, paid once.

An AI Christmas photo editor

Already have a photo you love? Keep it and change only what's around you: "add a decorated tree and fairy lights behind them, keep everything else exactly the same". The more you say should stay, the more of your photo you get back.

From the photo to a card

When you want a greeting printed on it, the AI Christmas card maker lays out the card with your words in gold letters, from the same kind of photo.

AI Christmas photo FAQ

What AI is everyone using for the Christmas photos?

We can only tell you what we use: every photo on this page was made with Google's Nano Banana 2.1, the model this tool runs. It keeps faces close to your photos and can put people from separate photos into one picture.

How do I do AI photos for free?

Sign in with Google and your first 1K image is free, with any prompt on this page. After that a Christmas photo takes 1 credit at 1K or 2K, and 100 credits cost $9.90 (plus local tax where it applies). No subscription.

Is there an AI Christmas photo editor?

Yes, the tool at the top of this page. Upload your photo, describe the Christmas scene and it makes the new photo right in your browser, with nothing to install. Faces stay close to the photo you upload.

Can I put family members from different photos in one Christmas photo?

Yes, up to 4 photos at once, one per person or pet. Our family picture came from three separate photos: the woman, the man and the dog.

Will it add people who weren't in my photo?

It can if the prompt leaves room for it. When ours said "the same people or pets", it gave a photo of one woman a dog. "Exactly who is in it, with no one added" fixed that.

What size should I pick to print it?

4:5 at 2K for an 8 x 10 inch print, or 2:3 for a 4 x 6. 2K takes the same 1 credit as 1K.

What happens to the photos I upload?

We store them so the model can read them and your results stay in your account, and use them for nothing else. To have them deleted, email support@getstepsnap.com.
