Build the card
Each tab is one layer: scene, frame, character, holiday wear, decorations and greeting. Most layers have a few color sets. Stuck? Press Random a few times.
Write your line
Add a name or a short wish at the bottom, up to 18 characters, in white, gold, red or green. Turkish letters and common accents work too.
Download or send
Choose a size, then save the PNG or copy it. On a phone, Share sends the card straight to a messaging app.
Download sizes
The card is drawn on a 100×140 pixel grid. Every size is a whole-number enlargement of it, so each pixel stays a clean square instead of turning blurry.
| Size | Pixels | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Print 5×7 | 1500×2100 | Printing at home or at a photo shop |
| Share card | 800×1120 | WhatsApp, email and messages |
| Story | 1080×1920 | Instagram and WhatsApp stories |
Each download has a small toonizer.com credit in the bottom corner.
Getting a good print
A pixel card prints well because it has no soft edges to lose. A few things still make a difference:
Choose Print 5×7
It is the only size made for paper: 1500×2100 pixels, which prints at 5×7 inches (13×18 cm) at 300 dpi. The other sizes are meant for screens and will look soft on paper.
Print at actual size
In the print dialog choose Actual size or 100%. Fit to page stretches the card by an uneven amount, and the pixels lose their square edges.
Matte or glossy
Matte paper keeps the dark night scenes readable under room light. Glossy paper makes the colors stronger but shows reflections on dark backgrounds.
Test one first
Ink is darker than a screen. If a night scene comes out muddy, try a lighter scene or the gold frame before printing a whole batch.

Which letters can I use in my own line?
English letters, numbers, Turkish letters, common accented letters such as é and ñ, and the symbols . , ! ? ‘ – & and ♥. The line holds up to 18 characters.
Will my card be saved?
Your last card stays in your own browser on the same device. Nothing is sent to the server. To move it to another device, open Seed and copy its recipe.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On a phone the Share button sends the card straight to a messaging app.
