How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your action shot, portrait, or team photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Best results with clear, well-lit photos where the subject is visible and not cut off.

    Expect: Simple cards with standard layouts: 30-45 seconds. Complex custom designs with multiple elements: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Describe your card design

    Type your instruction: 'create a basketball card with blue and gold borders, player name at top, stats at bottom' or 'make a vintage baseball card design with red accents and jersey number.' Be specific about sport type, colors, border style, layout, and which stats to include. No marking needed—the AI understands card design concepts.

    Tip: Include specific stats you want displayed: points per game, batting average, season highlights, or team name and position.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic baseball card design create a baseball card with red border, player name at top in bold white letters, team logo in corner, season stats at bottom including batting average and home runs
    Modern basketball card create a basketball card with sleek blue and gold gradient borders, player name and number at top, team logo, stats showing points per game and field goal percentage
    Vintage football card style create a vintage 1980s football card with thick orange border, distressed texture, player name in retro font, position and team at bottom, weathered look
    Youth league soccer card create a colorful youth soccer card with bright green and yellow borders, player name and jersey number, team name 'Eagles FC', position and season goals
    3 more prompts
    Hockey card with action frame create a hockey card with ice blue border and action frame effect, player name in bold, team logo, stats including goals, assists, and plus-minus rating
    Multi-sport athlete card create a sports card showing dual-sport athlete, split design with football on left side and baseball on right, name at top, stats for both sports at bottom
    Championship commemorative card create a special edition championship card with gold borders and trophy graphics, player name, team name, championship year 2024, career highlights and stats
  3. Generate and review

    Click Generate and the AI creates your sports card design. Review the layout, colors, border style, and stat placement. Zoom in to check text readability and alignment. Most designs work perfectly on the first try.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If you want to adjust specific areas—like repositioning text, changing border thickness in one section, or enhancing the photo quality—tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional—most cards work without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or added elements I didn't want

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which design elements you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous layout requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to modify, then regenerate with a more specific prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Text is blurry or unreadable on the card

Why: The original photo resolution is too low, or the AI placed text over a busy background area where it doesn't contrast well.

Try: Start with a higher resolution photo (at least 1200px width). Specify text placement: 'place player name in top banner on solid blue background' to ensure readable contrast.

Tip: Solid color backgrounds behind text ensure crisp, readable results. Mention 'text banner' or 'solid background for text' in your prompt.

Card colors don't match team colors exactly

Why: Generic color names like 'blue' or 'red' can be interpreted in many shades. The AI might pick a shade that doesn't match your specific team branding.

Try: Use specific color descriptions: 'royal blue and bright gold' or 'crimson red and white' instead of just 'blue and gold' or 'red and white'

Tip: Include hex codes if you have them: 'borders in #003DA5 blue and #FFD700 gold' ensures exact team color matching.

Stats are in wrong format or missing key information

Why: The AI needs explicit guidance on which stats to include and how to format them. Without specific instructions, it may omit important data.

Try: List each stat you want: 'include batting average .340, home runs 12, RBIs 45, stolen bases 8' rather than 'add season stats'

Tip: The more specific your stat request, the better. Include format preferences: 'display as BA: .340, HR: 12, RBI: 45'.

Border style doesn't look professional or is too thick/thin

Why: Border thickness and style need explicit description. The AI's default interpretation may not match your vision.

Try: Specify border details: 'thin 2-pixel elegant border' or 'thick vintage-style border with double lines' instead of just 'add border'

Tip: Reference real card styles: 'Topps-style border' or 'Upper Deck modern border' helps the AI match professional card aesthetics.

Subject's face or body is cut off or poorly cropped

Why: The AI tried to fit the photo into a standard card layout, but the original photo composition didn't leave enough space around the subject.

Try: Start with a photo that has space around the subject (not tightly cropped). Or specify: 'preserve full face and upper body, adjust card border to fit subject'

Tip: Photos with head-to-waist framing and some background space work best for card layouts. Avoid extreme close-ups.
