How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your photo into EditThisPic. Works best with clear photos of people, pets, or characters against simple backgrounds. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple photos with clear subjects: 30-45 seconds. Complex multi-character scenes: may need 1-2 refinements for optimal card layout.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'create a Pokemon card design with this photo as the main character, fire type with 120 HP' or 'make a water-type Pokemon card featuring this cat.' Be specific about Pokemon type, HP values, and attack themes. No marking needed—the AI understands how to frame the card.

Tip: Specify the Pokemon type (fire, water, grass, electric, etc.) and HP value for more authentic-looking cards. Example: 'grass type with 90 HP and nature-themed attacks'

Generate and review

Click Generate and the AI creates your Pokemon card with borders, stats, attack names, and energy symbols. Check that the character is framed well and the card elements look balanced.
Refine with markers if needed

If you want to adjust the character positioning or card frame, tap markers on specific areas and regenerate. Most cards work perfectly without markers.

Tip: Markers help if you want to reposition the character within the card frame, but try without them first.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or the character isn't centered

Why: The AI couldn't determine the exact framing you wanted from description alone. This happens with busy backgrounds or off-center subjects.

Try:

Tap a marker on the character's face or main body, then regenerate with 'center this character in the Pokemon card frame'

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'frame the card around THIS subject.' Use them when the auto-framing isn't quite right.

Card elements look messy or overlap the character

Why: The original photo may have a cluttered background or the character positioning makes it hard to place card borders cleanly.

Try:

Use a photo with a simpler background, or try 'create Pokemon card with clean borders around the character, ensuring HP and attack text are readable'

Try This →

Tip: Photos with plain backgrounds produce cleaner card layouts

Stats and attacks don't match the Pokemon type

Why: The AI may not have understood which type you wanted, or the prompt didn't specify attack themes.

Try: Be explicit: 'fire-type card with 110 HP, attacks: Flame Burst (30 damage) and Inferno (60 damage)'

Try This →

Tip: Naming specific attacks and damage values gives more authentic results

Colors don't match traditional Pokemon card style

Why: The AI interpreted 'Pokemon card' generically without type-specific color schemes.

Try: Specify the type for accurate colors: 'water-type Pokemon card with blue borders' or 'grass-type with green frame'

Try This →

Tip: Each Pokemon type has signature colors that make cards look authentic

Character is too large or too small in the card frame

Why: The AI's auto-framing may not match your vision for character scale.

Try: Add scale guidance: 'create Pokemon card with character taking up 60% of the card frame' or 'zoom in closer on the face'

Try This →

Tip: Reference how official Pokemon cards frame characters for best results

Missing energy symbols or attack details

Why: The prompt didn't explicitly request these card elements.

Try:

Regenerate with 'include all standard Pokemon card elements: energy symbols, attack names, HP, weakness, and retreat cost'

Try This →

Tip: The more specific your prompt about card elements, the more complete the design

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing the Pokemon card?

No! Just describe what you want: 'create a fire-type Pokemon card with this photo' or 'make a water-type card with 90 HP.' The AI understands how to design Pokemon cards. Only use markers if you want to adjust character positioning after seeing the first result.

How do I make a Pokemon card from a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'create a Pokemon card design with this photo.' The AI generates a custom card with stats, attacks, and energy symbols in 30-45 seconds. Free to use, no account or design software needed.

Can I customize the Pokemon type, HP, and attacks?

Yes! Specify these in your prompt: 'create an electric-type Pokemon card with 100 HP, Thunder Bolt (40 damage) and Lightning Strike (70 damage).' The AI will match the card design to your specifications including appropriate colors and energy symbols.

What makes a good photo for Pokemon card creation?

Best results come from photos with clear subjects against simple backgrounds. Portraits of people or pets work great. The AI frames the character and adds card elements, so starting with a well-lit photo with good subject separation helps produce cleaner cards.

Can I print the Pokemon cards I create?

Yes! Download the high-resolution image without watermarks and print it. For authentic card size (2.5 x 3.5 inches), scale the image accordingly. These are for personal fun use—official Pokemon cards are trademarked by The Pokemon Company.
