Sons and fathers don't always say the important things out loud. The card is the format where that's easier.

The relationship between a son and his father is often characterised by things said indirectly — the doing alongside each other rather than the talking, the shared activity rather than the conversation. Father's Day is one of the few occasions where the direct thing is expected, and a lot of sons find themselves writing 'Happy Father's Day, cheers' inside a generic card from the supermarket and feeling like something was missed.
A personalised Father's Day card from son from The Card Genie builds around a photograph of your dad and the description of what you want to say visually. Upload his photo and describe the scene that is specifically him: the workshop, the allotment, the match, the walk he's done every Sunday for twenty years. The AI builds a new image around his actual face and that specific context.
For the message inside, the AI greeting tool can suggest starting points. But the best Father's Day messages from sons tend to be direct and specific: the thing he taught you that you now pass on. The quality of his you've come to understand was actually a gift. One honest sentence about what the last three decades of him being there actually meant.
The printed card is worth ordering for this occasion. It'll go on his desk, his windowsill. He won't say much about it. He'll keep it.

Be specific and honest. Not 'cheers for everything' but the actual thing — the one piece of advice that stuck, the way he handled the hard year, the quality of his you understand better now than you did at twenty. Sons often underestimate how much fathers value this being said. The card is the right format.
A recent, clear photo of your dad with his face visible and well-lit. If you have a photo of both of you together, use that — the father and son dynamic visible in the image adds to the occasion.

Yes. The video tiers add animation — warm lighting, subtle motion, his expression shifting. For a son who wants to make more of an impact than a static card, the video version (£3.49 for five seconds, £4.99 for ten) is worth it.
Yes. Older photos work fine — scan at the highest resolution available. A photo of your dad from when you were young, rendered in a contemporary illustrated style with a warm present-day feeling, can be a particularly resonant Father's Day card.
