Steps

1
Upload your photo

Art Deco flattens forms into clean geometric shapes, so simple photos work beautifully. Drop your JPEG, PNG, or HEIC into the PhotoCardMagic upload panel.
2
Pick Art Deco

From the style grid, tap Art Deco (currently available for pet portraits; more expansions coming). The preview describes the palette: cream, deep teal, metallic gold, rich burgundy, and ivory.
3
Generate the preview

Press Generate preview. Look for crisp outlines, flat color, and Art Deco shapes such as sunbursts and stepped borders. Check the likeness before ordering.
4
Pick a poster-friendly product

Art Deco looks best large. Canvas wall art, framed prints, and acrylic prints all show off the geometric ornaments well. Greeting cards work too.
5
Order it

Choose a printed product, then review the price and current estimated arrival date at checkout. Orders are printed in the US.
