Christmas photo card and collage app
Ink makes Christmas photo cards and collages on iPhone and Android: free templates such as a December photo diary take your greeting and save with no watermark. The Christmas card template with three family photos comes with Ink Premium.
A Christmas card in Ink is a collage with a greeting: start from a template or from any layout and type your own words.
Christmas card and collage templates
- December photo diary: six winter photos in three rows of two beside a large 12 and the year: six moments from your December.
- Advent wreath collage: four photos in a 2×2 grid, numbered 1 to 4. Take one on each Sunday of Advent; on the fourth Sunday it is complete.
- Christmas market collage: four photos as tilted instant prints on dark plum, with the month and the year.
- Christmas card: three family photos on dark green, a large one on the left and two stacked beside it, above Merry Christmas and a line for your names and the year.
Turn any collage into a Christmas card
- Choose three to six photos from the year, one of them with everyone in it.
- Tap Pick photos and select them: Ink opens on layouts for that many, with your photos in place. Or open a Christmas template, tap each photo, tap Replace and pick yours.
- On a layout, tap ✓. Hold the photo with everyone in it, then tap the largest spot to swap them.
- Tap Text and type the greeting, your names and the year. In a template, tap Merry Christmas to change it.
- Tap the download button (Export), then Save image for the family chat, or Share image to pick the app.
The card stays in Projects: next December, open it, swap the photos and change the year.
What to write on a Christmas photo card
- One line and your names: Merry Christmas from Anna, Jonas & Leo · 2026. The photos say the rest.
- For a mixed list: Happy Holidays or Season’s greetings, for friends and colleagues who don’t all celebrate Christmas.
- For family in Germany: Frohe Weihnachten, or both greetings, one above the other.
- Big news: put the newborn or the new front door in the large photo and say it in one line, such as Our first Christmas as four. The 3-photo layouts with a large photo on the left or a large photo on top suit it.
