Hardwood runs & rec league buckets
Middle school, AAU, church league, or the Tuesday-night run you have played in for nine years. Basketball photos are almost always taken in bad light, which is why the cutout step matters more here than in any outdoor sport.
The basketball card renders four columns: PPG, RPG, APG and FG%. Per-game averages carry a decimal and a percentage sign carries a symbol — both are places generated text reliably falls apart, and both are typed by you and drawn as vector here.
Basketball composites onto a hardwood court: a warm overhead key, board seams running across the floor, a free-throw key drawn in perspective, and a deep out-of-focus crowd. All vector, all print-safe.
Gym lighting is the whole problem. Overhead fluorescents come straight down, so the brow and nose cast hard shadows over the eyes, and the shutter speed needed indoors leaves motion blur on anyone actually playing. A still photo — warmups, the bench, a posed shot after the game — consistently produces a better card than an action shot from the same gym. If you only have action shots, pick the one where the subject is squarest to the camera, not the most dramatic one.
Upload a real photo
A phone snap is fine. We score blur, lighting and face size first.
We isolate the subject
Background removed entirely — not dimmed. The face is never altered.
Staged & lettered
Placed on a drawn basketball stage. Every name and number is real text.
Printed for real
Cards, a display print, and every digital format.
This is the ordinary snapshot above, run through the real pipeline. The person is untouched — only what's behind them changes.
No. Real photos have real text in them, and a school or club name on the jersey reads as authentic. The only thing we will not do is let photo text contradict the card — if the jersey says one team and you type another, we will flag it.
Not honestly. We can relight and recompose, but we cannot invent detail that the sensor never captured, and we will not repaint a face to sharpen it. If a photo fails the check we tell you why and ask for another rather than shipping a card that does not look like the person.
No. The stat band is optional. Plenty of rec-league cards are better with a season and a nickname than with a fabricated scoring average.
