Holographic card studio

Turn your artwork into cards that catch the light.

GlimmerCard makes your own pictures into holographic cards: foil finishes, holo effects and real depth that shift as you tilt them. Then save them as images, print files or short videos.

How it works

One picture in, a card that moves out

Add a photo or artwork, choose a shape and crop, and build the card in Studio. Everything you change shows on the card as you tilt it.

Finishes and holo effects

Start from Original, Pearl, Silver or Gold, then add one of dozens of holo effects: spectrum sheens, sparkle, facets and lines, laser foils and coatings. Apply them to the whole card, just the background or subject, or an area you paint.

Depth you can feel

Separate the subject from its background with one tap, and the card gains real layers that shift as it turns.

  • Subject separation runs on your device; your pictures are not sent to an AI service.
  • Frames and pictures in front of the subject, with outlines that glow.
  • Animated textures, starfields and text that sits at its own depth.
  • A custom card back, from built-in designs or your own image.
Showcase on a phone, displaying the Azure Dragon card

Showcase your collection

Showcase puts your cards on a dark stage. Drag to tilt, tap to flip, or move your phone and watch the light travel across the foil. Play motion runs the card through its showcase routine.

  • Keep cards in collections and pick up where you left off on any device.
  • Choose the backdrop that suits the card.
The Export and Share dialog for the Azure Dragon card
