Creating your own Christmas cards with AI is now easier than ever. The first known Christmas card was sent in 1611, and today, printed holiday greetings are a staple. However, with the availability of digital cameras and printers, homemade cards have become popular as well.
If you’re not a skilled artist or photographer, AI can help you create personalized Christmas cards. All you need is the right prompt, a short description of the desired image. AI image generators like Dall-E, Midjourney, or Stable Diffusion can create impressive images. For personal use, Microsoft’s Bing Image Creator is recommended. It’s user-friendly, free, and based on OpenAI’s Dall-E 2.
To create your own Christmas images with Bing Image Creator, simply type your image description into the prompt window at the top of the screen. The Image Creator will generate four variations of the image. Choose your favorite and download it. You can add text with an image editing program and print it as a card or send it as an e-card via email or messenger to friends and family.
Keep in mind that the number of images you can create with Bing Image Creator is limited by the number of “Boosts” you have. You receive 25 Boosts upon first registration and up to 15 additional Boosts each week, but the total number of Boosts never exceeds 15. Also, AI-generated images from Bing Image Creator can only be used for personal purposes as per the service’s terms of use. For commercial purposes, you would need to use another tool.
We used Midjourney for our image gallery, but tested all prompts with the Image Creator and found the results satisfactory. In our gallery, you’ll find 11 perfect image prompts to try out for your Christmas cards.
When crafting image prompts, be precise with your descriptions. Avoid overly complex descriptions. Adding details like “atmospheric lighting” can help achieve the desired result. Experimenting with prompt descriptions can be beneficial. We’ve included some example prompts and results in our gallery.
Creating personalized Christmas cards with AI is a fun and creative way to send holiday greetings. Whether you use them for personal enjoyment or to share with loved ones, the possibilities are vast with AI image generators.
