Try itA make me Santa AI photo is your own photo redrawn so you wear a full Christmas character costume, from Santa's red suit to a reindeer hood, while your face stays yours. This template needs one photo of one person and offers 8 characters, plus Surprise me.
One upload
Pick a character and generate, then switch to the next one without uploading again. Each run is its own photo to download, so you can line up your Santa, elf and snowman versions and let the family pick a favorite.
Kept and changed
Your face, age, skin tone, hairstyle, body shape, pose and framing stay as they are, and so does the room behind you, now with warm Christmas lights and a few festive touches. The costume is complete and fitted, so it reads as clothes you are wearing, not a sticker on top.
Only want a Santa hat?The four characters people ask for most, each worn by a grown-up and a child. The picker also has Mrs. Claus, a gingerbread person, a nutcracker soldier, a Christmas tree and Surprise me, which invents an original Christmas character to suit you.
A red velvet suit with white fur trim, a black belt with a gold buckle and a Santa hat. Grown-ups also get a neat white beard that keeps the face recognizable; kids and babies get no beard.
Santa's helper, not a fantasy elf: a green velvet tunic with a red collar and tiny gold bells, red-and-white striped stockings, pointed ears and a pointed green hat.
A cozy brown faux-fur hooded outfit with plush antlers and a small dark nose: the whole reindeer, where a filter would only add antlers.
A round white padded outfit with coal-black buttons, a knitted scarf and a small black hat.
All it takes is one photo of one person. Here is what that photo becomes, how to shoot it and the three steps.

The person in this photo wears the costume you pick and keeps their own look, so choose a photo you already like of them.

Face clear and turned to the camera
Waist up or head to toe, so the whole costume fits

Two or more people in one photo
Face-only selfies: the costume needs shoulders and a body

Yes, every character works on kids and babies. The template keeps their real age, build and natural face, adds no makeup and keeps the costume fully covered, so a baby in a Santa suit still looks like your baby.
Yes. The template keeps your face, age, skin tone, hairstyle, pose and framing and only changes what you wear. Hoods, hats and Santa's beard cover part of the head, so a clear, front-facing photo matters more here than usual; the photo checklist above shows what works.
Yes. Santa adds a neat white beard to every grown-up, women included, drawn so the face stays visible; kids and babies never get one. For a red velvet look without a beard, pick Mrs. Claus: a red dress with white fur trim, a white ruffled apron, small round glasses and a soft red shawl.
Not a live camera filter. A filter lays a hat or beard over your face in real time; this template redraws one photo so a whole costume fits your body and pose, and the elf and reindeer looks work the same way. If you only want a hat, antlers or elf ears on an otherwise unchanged photo, use the Add Santa Hat to Photo template.
No. Every costume is an original take on a folk Christmas figure, so characters from films, books, shows and ads are not offered; the reindeer, for example, is a plain reindeer. Surprise me also invents an original character rather than copying one.
Yes, two ways. Press Animate it under your result to send the photo to the Animate Christmas Photo template: a 5-second video for 60 credits by default. To watch yourself change into Santa, an elf or a snowman instead, the Santa Transformation template makes a 6-second video from one photo for 72 credits by default.
No, this template dresses one person per photo. To put everyone in one Christmas picture use the AI Christmas Family Photo template, and for a cat or dog use the AI Christmas Pet Photo template.
One photo, 8 Christmas characters and a surprise. Start with Santa, then try the rest on the same upload.
