Introduce your little one with a card that has all the details: add a newborn photo, your baby's name, the date and time of birth, weight and length, then share it as an image or print it as a 5 × 7 or 4 × 6 card. Your photo stays on your device the whole time.

How to use the Birth Announcement Maker
Choose a template and colors that suit your photo.
Add your baby's photo, then use the zoom slider and drag the picture in the preview to frame it.
Fill in the details: headline, name, date and time of birth, weight and length. Switch units at any time; the values convert automatically.
Add optional lines for the place of birth and the proud parents or siblings.
Download a PNG or JPG for social media and messages, or choose a printable card size and Download PDF. Print the PDF at 100% (Actual size).
Weight and length rows are independent: the table is a conversion reference, not a growth chart. Your pediatrician can tell you how your baby's measurements compare.

Tips for a lovely announcement
Photo: soft window light and a plain blanket or swaddle look best. Fill the frame with your baby's face; the zoom slider helps.
Paper: for printing at home, use matte card stock around 80-110 lb cover (216-300 gsm); a print shop can print the PDF on photo paper.
Wording: "Welcome to the world" and "Introducing" are classics; "Hello world" suits a playful card. Add older siblings in the family line, for example "Big brother Max".
Timing: there is no rule, but many families post a digital announcement within the first days and mail printed cards within the first two or three months.
Frequently asked questions
What information goes on a birth announcement?
The usual details are the baby's full name, date of birth, time of birth, weight and length, often with a photo and the parents' names. Some families also add the place of birth or a line from older siblings. You can leave any field empty and it is simply left off the card.
How do I convert birth weight between pounds and kilograms?
One pound is exactly 453.59237 grams and one ounce is about 28.35 grams. Multiply the pounds by 453.59 and the ounces by 28.35, then add them for the weight in grams; divide by 1,000 for kilograms. For example, 7 lb 6 oz is 3,175 g + 170 g = about 3.35 kg. The tool does this automatically when you switch units.
How do I convert baby length from inches to centimeters?
Multiply inches by 2.54. A 20-inch baby is 50.8 cm long, and 52 cm is about 20.5 inches. Lengths are rounded to the nearest quarter inch or tenth of a centimeter on the card.
What size should I print birth announcements?
5 × 7 inches is the most common card size and fits standard A7 envelopes; 4 × 6 inches is a postcard or photo-print size. The PDF is made at 300 dots per inch, so it prints sharply. Choose the US Letter or A4 option to print one card per page with cut marks on a home printer, then trim along the marks.
Is my baby's photo uploaded or stored?
No. The card is drawn in your browser and the PNG, JPG and PDF files are created on your device. The photo is not uploaded and is not saved; only the text fields and choices are remembered in your browser so you can edit them later.
Should I share my baby's exact birth details online?
Many parents do, but full name, exact date and place of birth together can be used for identity theft. For public posts, consider leaving out the place or the middle name, and share the full card privately with family. Every field here is optional.
Why does my photo look blurry in the print version?
Prints need more pixels than social posts. A 5 × 7 card at 300 dpi is 1500 × 2100 pixels, so use the original photo from your phone or camera rather than a screenshot or a photo saved from a messaging app, which are often compressed.
