What people make with it
The 14 shapes are the Christmas frames from the Qrdy Frames library, the same ones Image to Frame turns into real Canva frames. Here they work as cut-outs: the photo shows through the shape and everything outside it is transparent, so the PNG sits on any card, tag or background you like.
Printable ornaments for the tree
Print the PNG on photo paper or cardstock, cut around the shape and punch a hole at the top for a ribbon. Pick the 3 inch or 3.5 inch print size and the file prints at a common ornament size.
Christmas cards with a photo
Use the bauble or the star on the front of a card. Because the background is transparent, the shape sits cleanly on any colour, pattern or texture.
Gift tags that show who it is for
A small photo inside a gift box or a stocking tells the recipient the gift is theirs without a name. Download a few shapes and print them on one sheet.
Pet ornaments
Dog in a stocking, cat in a mitten, rabbit in a snowflake. Zoom in on the face and leave the ears a little room at the top of the shape.
A gift for grandparents
A grandchild in a wreath or a snow globe, printed and hung on their tree. It costs nothing, takes a minute and is the ornament they will keep.
Questions
How do I put a photo on a Christmas ornament?
Drop the photo above, pick a shape such as the bauble, drag and zoom until the face sits where you want it, and click Download PNG. Print it on photo paper or cardstock, cut around the shape and add a ribbon.
What size should I print?
Most hanging ornaments are 3 to 3.5 inches across. Choose that print size before downloading and the PNG is saved with the matching DPI, so Preview, Photoshop and most print services print it at that size. The file itself is 2048 pixels, enough for a sharp print.
Can I use a pet photo?
Yes. Any photo works: pets, kids, couples, products. Zoom in so the face fills the shape and leave room around the ears or the top of the head.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no limit on downloads. The PNG is yours for personal and commercial use.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is read by your browser and drawn on a canvas on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and the photo is dropped when you close the page.
Can I edit it in Canva?
Yes. Open Image to Frame in Canva: it turns any shape into a real Canva frame, so you can swap photos, add text and borders, and reuse the same ornament across a card or a print sheet.
