Popup Card Generator

Type a greeting, and the generator turns it into cut-out letters that rise from the fold every time the card opens. Start from one of 12 holiday templates, set the text height and pop-out depth, dress the card with your own picture or AI artwork, then watch it open in 3D before you download the file or send it to xTool Studio.

How It Works

From a few words to a card that stands up on its own, in three steps.

01

Pick a Holiday Template

Choose a starting design such as Merry & Bright, Birthday, Wedding, Hello Baby, or Get Well. The card size, background, and pop-up lettering load together, ready to edit.

02

Write Your Message and Style It

Type your own words, pick a font, and tune text height, pop-out depth, letter spacing, and line gap. Change the cover color, upload a picture, add built-in elements, or let AI Design draw new artwork.

03

Preview in 3D and Export

Switch to 3D Preview and drag the card open and closed to check how high the letters stand. When it looks right, download the file or open it in xTool Studio to cut and fold.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Project

Your Words Rise Up From the Fold

Whatever you type becomes a row of cut-out letters that stand up like a tiny sign when the card opens. You control how they read: text height, pop-out depth, letter spacing, and line gap, plus equal or natural stroke widths. Long names, short shouts, two-line messages — the pop-up structure follows your text, so every card says exactly what you meant.

Your Words Rise Up From the Fold

Open and Close the Pop-Up Card in 3D First

Before any paper meets the cutter, drag the 3D preview from closed to fully open and see how the letters lift, overlap the artwork, and fold back down. The 2D view marks the pop-up cuts and fold creases separately, so you know where to cut and where to crease before you commit a single sheet of cardstock.

AI Artwork Behind the Pop-Up Letters

Describe the scene you want and AI Design paints the whole card, or generates a single element to place where you like. You can also upload your own photo as the background or a sticker, and let the letters sit on the paper, a solid color, or over the picture. The result is a card nobody else will receive.
