Christmas hat filter
Upload a picture with people, pets or both, and each clearly visible person and pet gets a Santa hat, sized to their head and lit to match the photo; anyone in a religious head covering keeps it and gets no hat. The default is classic red velvet with a white fur brim; you can also pick a knitted hat, a tilted one or a sprig of holly on the brim. Only the hats are meant to change, so describe just the hat, and the image comes back in your photo's shape.
People and pets
How it works
Choose a clear photo of yourself, your friends or your pet, or one you have permission to use. A few clearly visible heads work best, with a little room above each one for the hat. Very small, turned-away or cut-off heads may not get one.
Leave the words empty for the classic red velvet hat, tap Knitted, Tilted to one side or Holly sprig, or describe the hat yourself. One generation uses 8 credits and returns one 1K image in the same shape as your photo.
The whole photo is redrawn around the hats, so small details can shift. Compare every face, hat and pet with your original before you download, and generate again if one looks off.
What it adds
Each hat is sized to its head, with the white brim resting across the hairline and hair or fur tucked under its edge. It follows the tilt of the head, takes its light from your photo and casts a soft shadow where it sits, so it looks worn rather than stuck on.
Each clear head in the picture gets its own hat, in one matching style unless your words mix them. On a dog or cat, a small hat sits between or over the ears without covering the eyes. An everyday cap or beanie can be swapped for the Santa hat.
Faces, hair, clothes, the background, the light and the framing are asked to stay as photographed, and nothing else is added. Describe only the hat in your words: asking for extras such as a beard, snow or a name on the brim can change more of your photo than you want.
Words to try
A photo on its own is enough, and with no words you get the classic hat. A few words can change the style, or give different people and pets different hats.

Ways to use it
Start from a photo you already like, add the hats, and use the result on your card. The image keeps your photo's shape, so a wide shot stays wide instead of being cropped to a square.
Give your usual profile photo a Santa hat for the season and switch back in the new year. Profile pictures are often shown as a circle, so pick a photo with your face near the center and some space above your head.
A real hat rarely stays on a dog or cat long enough for a photo. Add one to a picture you already have instead, choosing a shot with the whole head in view, ears included.
Matching hats for a couple, housemates or a few friends on the sofa. Keep the group small enough that every face is clear, and count the hats before you download.
