Cosplay Trading Card Maker
MakeACard transforms cosplay photos into custom trading cards using AI. Upload your cosplay shot, and Gemini AI generates original card artwork that captures your character's essence - complete with thematic abilities, stats, and a rarity roll that could net you holographic effects.
Your cosplay, immortalized as a trading card. The AI reads costume details, props, and character energy to generate card artwork and abilities that honor the character - and make convention trading cards a thing.
Three Steps. 30 Seconds.
No design skills needed. No prompt engineering. Upload a photo and the AI handles everything.
Upload Cosplay Photo
Choose your best cosplay shot - detailed costumes, props, and in-character poses produce the most thematic card results.
AI Generates Character Card
Gemini AI reads your costume, props, and pose to generate original card artwork with character-themed abilities and stats. About 20-30 seconds.
Trade at Conventions
Print at standard 2.5" × 3.5" dimensions, sleeve in toploaders, and trade at your next convention. Each card gets a random rarity roll.
What Makes This Card Type Special
Costume-Aware Generation
The AI reads costume details - armor, robes, weapons, accessories - and generates card artwork that emphasizes the character's visual identity. The more detailed the cosplay, the more detailed the card.
Character-Themed Abilities
Cosplay of a warrior? Expect combat abilities. Witch or mage cosplay? Spell-based attacks. The AI generates abilities that match the character archetype it detects from the costume and pose.
Convention Trading Cards
Print cosplay cards to trade at anime conventions, Comic-Con, and cosplay meetups. A stack of your own custom trading cards is the ultimate cosplay flex - and a conversation starter at every booth.
Cosplay Group Sets
Create matching card sets for cosplay groups. Each group member gets a card from their individual cosplay - together they form a collectible set. Perfect for duo cosplays, villain groups, or full franchise casts.
Portfolio Piece
Use cosplay cards as portfolio pieces on Instagram or cosplay.com. A trading card format makes cosplay photos stand out in feeds and portfolios - it's a built-in frame with stats and character identity.
“Cosplay has evolved from a niche hobby into a global creative community. Conventions are where cosplayers showcase their craft and build connections.”
Every Card Gets a Rarity Roll
Just like opening a real booster pack. The rarity is randomly assigned at generation time. Higher rarities mean better stats and holographic visual effects.
