Graduation Trading Card Maker
MakeACard turns graduation photos into custom Pokemon-style trading cards using AI. Upload a cap-and-gown photo, and the AI generates original card artwork with achievements as abilities - a graduation keepsake that's more memorable than a standard portrait.
A diploma says you graduated. A trading card says you graduated with style. Turn graduation photos into collectible cards with AI-generated artwork, academic-themed abilities, and the standard rarity roll.
Three Steps. 30 Seconds.
No design skills needed. No prompt engineering. Upload a photo and the AI handles everything.
Upload Graduation Photo
Choose a cap-and-gown portrait, ceremony photo, or celebration shot. Clear, well-lit graduation photos produce the most on-theme card artwork.
AI Creates Your Grad Card
Gemini AI generates original artwork incorporating graduation elements, plus academic-themed abilities and stats. Each card is unique to the graduate's photo.
Print as a Keepsake
Download at 300 DPI, print on quality cardstock, and frame alongside the diploma. Or print a batch for graduation party favors. Standard TCG size fits card sleeves.
What Makes This Card Type Special
Achievement-Based Abilities
The AI generates abilities that lean into academic and achievement themes. Expect card abilities like "Thesis Defense" (60 damage), "Dean's List" (heal 30 HP), or "All-Nighter" (draw 3 extra cards). Contextual and fun.
Cap & Gown Recognition
The AI recognizes graduation attire - caps, gowns, stoles, cords, diplomas - and incorporates them into the card artwork. The more graduation-specific the photo, the more on-theme the card.
Class Gift Idea
Create cards for the entire graduating class or friend group. Each person's card is uniquely generated from their photo - different artwork, abilities, and rarity. Hand them out at graduation parties.
Frameable Keepsake
Cards print at 300 DPI on standard trading card dimensions. Frame the card alongside the diploma, display it on a shelf, or store it in a toploader. It's a fun counterpart to the formal graduation portrait.
Works for All Levels
Kindergarten graduation, high school, college, master's, PhD - the AI handles all graduation contexts. Even preschool "graduation" photos produce adorable cards that parents love.
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.

Uncommon
Enhanced detail and stronger abilities
