Practical guide by WowCards AI
Static or animated greeting card: which should you choose?
Choose by the story, delivery channel, deadline, and whether the result needs to be printed—not by which effect looks newest.

Static card
Best for one strong portrait, immediate readability, simple sharing, and print.
- easy to send
- printable
- faster approval
Animated card
Useful when light, background, or small details enhance an approved composition.
- short loop
- more movement in chat
- depends on a strong still frame
Video greeting
Best for multiple photos, voice, music, and a story with a beginning and ending.
- more source material
- separate script
- longer approval
A simple decision rule
One frame means static; movement within one frame means animation; a sequence of memories means video.
