A pixel art Christmas card is simple to make, prints cleanly and looks good on a phone screen. Below are card ideas in a 16-bit style: elves, polar bears, cats, a gingerbread man, a penguin and a little yeti, each in a snowy scene with a short holiday greeting.

Every card on this page was made with the free Pixel Christmas Card Maker on Toonizer. It is not an AI tool: the cards are built from ready-made pixel-art pieces, and you choose the scene, frame, character, holiday wear and greeting yourself. You can recreate any of these or make your own version in a couple of minutes.

How to make your own pixel Christmas card

1. Build the card. Open the Pixel Christmas Card Maker and go through the tabs: scene, frame, character, holiday wear, decorations and greeting. If you are not sure where to start, pick a preset or press Random a few times.

2. Add your line. Write a name or a short wish at the bottom, up to 18 characters, in white, gold, red or green.

3. Download or send. Choose a size and save the PNG. On a phone, the Share button sends the card straight to a messaging app.

Printing and sharing

The cards are drawn on a small pixel grid and enlarged by whole numbers, so every pixel stays a sharp square. Choose Print 5×7 (1500×2100 pixels) for printing at home or at a photo shop, Share card (800×1120) for messages and email, or Story (1080×1920) for Instagram and WhatsApp stories.

The tool is free, needs no sign-up and has no download limit.
