Make a talking Christmas card in three steps
Pick the photo, write the message, choose the voice. TalkPix animates the exact photo you upload into a lifelike talking video — the face moves and lip-syncs to every word. Type the message and pick a warm AI voice in one of 10 languages, or record yourself so the card speaks in your real voice.
- A clear, front-facing photo works best
- Keep the greeting to a couple of warm sentences
- Record your own voice for the personal version
- Download an HD MP4 that plays anywhere — WhatsApp, email, socials
The Santa message, done right
For a personal Santa video, upload a clear Santa portrait, write the message the way Santa would say it — the child's name, one thing they did well this year, one warm wish — and pick a deep, calm voice. Keep it under 30 seconds so the magic doesn't outstay the attention span.

Example campaigns
Three buyer-ready ways to use TalkPix
These are example workflows, not customer claims or invented reviews.
Etsy seller example
Setup: Upload one product photo and write a short gift-angle hook.
Output: Create a 9:16 talking product ad for an Etsy listing, Reel, or launch post.
Next step: Test a gift idea angle against a review-style angle.
Example campaign, not a testimonial.
Shopify store example
Setup: Start with the hero product image and three buyer objections.
Output: Generate short creator-style ads for TikTok, Reels, Facebook, or product pages.
Next step: Run the best hook as a retargeting creative.
Example campaign, not a testimonial.
Creator example
Setup: Prepare a portrait with a sponsor line, intro, or call-to-action, then check out before generation.
Output: Create a clean 720p MP4 with no watermark and no subscription required.
Next step: Use the $5 Mini pack when you are ready to make more.
Example campaign, not a testimonial.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I make a talking Christmas card from a photo?
Upload the photo, type your holiday message or record it in your own voice, pick a voice and language, and download the talking HD MP4 a few minutes later.
Can I make a personalized Santa video?
Yes — upload a Santa photo, type a message with your child's name, and choose a warm, deep AI voice. The photo speaks the message with lifelike lip-sync.
Can the greeting be in another language?
Yes. AI voices are available in 10 languages, so relatives abroad can get the greeting in their own language — or record your own voice instead.
How much does it cost?
No subscription required. Credit packs start at $5. Talking Photo costs 1 credit/s at 720p or 2 at 1080p — a 10-second 720p card is about $1 — and unused credits never expire.
Is it fast enough for a last-minute card?
Yes — renders typically take a few minutes, so a Christmas-morning card made on Christmas Eve is completely realistic.
