1

Upload Family Member Photos

Choose individual photos of each family member - one person (or pet) per card. Clear, well-lit photos with visible faces produce the best results.

2

AI Creates Unique Cards

Each family member gets original AI-generated artwork with personalized abilities and stats based on their photo. No two family cards are alike.

Build Your Family Set

Collect all family cards, print at standard TCG dimensions, and display together. Frame the set, use a binder page, or give as a gift.

What Makes This Card Type Special

Full Family Set

Create cards for every family member - parents, kids, grandparents, pets included. Each card is individually generated from their photo, producing unique artwork and abilities. Display the complete set together.

Generational Keepsake

Family cards are a modern version of the family portrait - more fun, more individual, and something kids actually want to keep. Create a new set each year and watch how the cards (and the family) evolve.

Holiday Gift Activity

Family card creation works as a holiday activity - take everyone's photo at the family gathering and create cards on the spot. Christmas, Thanksgiving, reunions - any gathering works. Kids especially love the reveal.

Individual Personalities

The AI picks up on each person's expression, outfit, and context to generate different abilities for each family member. The chef of the family might get cooking-themed abilities while the sporty kid gets athletic moves.

Baby-Friendly

Baby and toddler photos produce adorable cards. The AI generates age-appropriate artwork and cute ability names. A baby photo might produce abilities like "Cry for Attention" (summon ally) or "Nap Time" (heal to full HP).

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a full family card set?
Upload individual photos of each family member - one person per card produces the best results. With 5 free generations per day, a family of 4 (plus the dog) takes one day. For larger families, spread it across two days. Each card is uniquely generated with different artwork and abilities.
Can I include pets in the family card set?
Yes - pets are treated the same as any other photo input. Upload a photo of the family dog, cat, or any pet, and the AI generates a card for them. Pet cards often end up being the most popular cards in the family set.
What about baby and toddler photos?
Baby photos produce adorable cards. Clear, well-lit baby portraits work best. The AI generates cute, age-appropriate artwork and ability names. These cards become especially meaningful keepsakes as children grow up - compare their 1-year-old card to their 10-year-old card.
Can I frame or display family card sets?
Many users frame the complete family set together. Print all cards, arrange them in a frame (a 3-across layout works well for families of 6 or fewer), and hang it. You can also use a trading card binder page - standard 9-pocket pages hold a full family set.
Is this a good gift idea?
Family card sets are consistently one of the most gifted card types. Grandparents love receiving a set of grandkid cards. Parents appreciate the keepsake value. Kids enjoy the trading card format. It works for birthdays, holidays, or just because.
