Trading cards, baseball cards, character cards — all of these are made the same way: an AI prompt that transforms your guest's photo, placed in a template you design.
There is no separate "trading card" setting to switch on.
What you need
-
Tokens. Every AI image spends them.
-
A prompt that produces the look you want. Preset prompts work on any plan; writing your own
needs Pro.
- A template with your card design — borders, name, number, team.
How to build one
-
Create your event and open the Flow tab.
-
Open Choose Experience and add a template.
-
Add a Capture, then apply an AI Effect or AI Filter with your chosen prompt.
-
Add text and images for the card frame, name and number.
-
Save the template and the event.
Tip - Put the guest's name on the card with a survey question and a {{token}} in the template text. Note that tokenised text makes the event Premium.
The AI effect picker on the capture element.
Token cost
| Output | Tokens |
|---|---|

How long it takes
| Stage | Time |
|---|---|
| AI processing | 30–90 seconds |
| Whole experience, per guest | 45 seconds to 3 minutes |
One booth with one printer produces roughly 35–45 cards an hour.
Tip - Use that figure when quoting. A three-hour event on one booth is around 120 cards — if the client expects 300, you need a second booth.
Tip - What slows a card event down is printing and guests admiring their card, not the AI. Plan for the queue, not the render.
