Three Steps. 30 Seconds.

No design skills needed. No prompt engineering. Upload a photo and the AI handles everything.

1

Upload Your Selfie

Take or choose a selfie with good lighting and a clear view of your face. Expression, outfit, and background all influence the card the AI creates.

2

AI Transforms You into a Card

Gemini AI analyzes your selfie - features, expression, context - and generates original Pokemon-style artwork, a creative card name, type assignment, abilities, and stats. About 20-30 seconds.

3

Download & Share

Your card gets a random rarity roll. Download at 300 DPI, share on social media, or print it. Perfect as a profile picture, conversation starter, or fun gift.

What Makes This Card Type Special

Expression-Aware Generation

Smiling? The AI might give you a Fairy or Normal type with cheerful abilities. Looking intense? Expect Fighting or Fire type with aggressive moves. The AI reads facial expression and generates cards that match your vibe.

Context-Driven Cards

The AI doesn't just look at your face - it reads your outfit, background, and props. A gym selfie generates different results than a beach photo or a cosplay shot. Every selfie produces a unique card.

Social Media Ready

Selfie cards are designed to be shared. Download your card and post it on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, or Discord. The trading card format makes selfies instantly more interesting and shareable.

Group Selfies Work Too

Group photos generate cards too - the AI typically focuses on the most prominent face. For best results with friends, take individual selfies and make a full card set. Trade with your friend group.

Profile Picture Upgrade

Plenty of users generate cards from their selfies specifically to use the AI-generated card as a profile picture. The Pokemon-style artwork gives your PFP a unique look that stands out in comment sections and Discord servers.

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

What kind of selfie works best?
Well-lit face shots with a clear background produce the best card artwork. Front-facing selfies and slight angles both work. Natural lighting > ring light > harsh flash. Avoid very dark photos or heavy Instagram filters - the AI works best with photos that clearly show features and context.
Will the card artwork look like me?
The AI creates Pokemon-style artwork inspired by your photo - it captures distinctive features, coloring, and expression, but the result is stylized art, not a photorealistic portrait. Think of it as your Pokemon-universe version, not a photo filter.
Can I make cards of my friends?
Yes - any clear face photo works. Many users create full friend group card sets and trade them. Just upload individual photos for the best results per card. You can create 5 cards per day for free.
Is my photo stored or used for training?
Photos are processed by Google's Gemini AI to generate your card and are not stored permanently on our servers. We don't use uploaded photos for model training. Once your card is generated, the original upload is discarded.
Can I use a professional headshot or ID photo?
Yes. Professional headshots with clean backgrounds often produce very detailed card artwork. ID-style photos work too, though more casual or expressive poses tend to generate more dynamic card abilities and artwork.
