How to Upload Your Picture onto a Pokemon Card

Pokemon is a popular trading card game, as well as a TV show with related movies and video games. The trading cards feature different Pokemon characters and show their type, their strength and their battle moves, among other attributes. Two players use their cards to pit one Pokemon against the other to see which is the stronger. One of the fun things Pokemon fans can do online is upload their own pictures to make custom Pokemon cards to print at home. These could be pictures of Pokemon you've drawn by hand or on the computer, or even a picture of yourself.
