Little league heroes deserve big league cards. The same AI that powers Pokemon-style cards, tuned for sports photography - action shots, game day photos, and athletic moments transformed into collectible cards.
Three Steps. 30 Seconds.
No design skills needed. No prompt engineering. Upload a photo and the AI handles everything.
Upload a Sports Photo
Choose an action shot, game day photo, or athletic pose. Action photos with clear subjects and good lighting produce the best sports card artwork.
AI Generates Your Sports Card
Gemini AI analyzes the sport, action, and context in your photo, then generates original card artwork with sport-appropriate abilities and stats. About 20-30 seconds.
Print & Trade
Download at standard trading card dimensions (2.5" × 3.5" at 300 DPI), print a stack for the team, and trade. Every card gets a random rarity roll for extra excitement.
What Makes This Card Type Special
Action Shot Optimization
Sports photos with motion, competition, and athletic poses produce the most dynamic card artwork. The AI picks up on the sport, equipment, and action to generate contextually relevant abilities.
Youth Sports Ready
Parents use MakeACard to create trading cards for their kids' teams - soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, swim team. Each player gets a unique card with individualized stats and abilities. Print a set for the whole team.
Stat Generation
The AI generates sports-appropriate stats and abilities. A basketball photo might produce "Slam Dunk" (50 damage) and "Court Vision" (draw 2 cards). A soccer shot could get "Bicycle Kick" (40 damage).
Team Set Creation
With 5 free cards per day, you can build out a full team set over a few days. Each card is unique - different artwork, stats, and abilities per player. Perfect for end-of-season gifts or tournament mementos.
Print for Trading
Cards print at standard trading card size (2.5" × 3.5" at 300 DPI). Print a stack, sleeve them, and let the team trade. Kids love it - it's like having their own Topps or Panini card.
