Free to start — no account
Send the photo. Not a link to the photo.
Pick a card, drop your photos in. When they open it, the photos tumble out at the size they were taken — 3000 pixels and up, no compression, no watermark. They keep the file, print it at home, put it on the fridge.
Most first cards take a few minutes. Nothing to sign up for.
My DashboardEvery photo inside downloads at full resolution.
Add the app to your home screen — one tap to make a card, and you can send photos straight from your gallery into eCards.
Add eCards to your home screen
- Tap the Share button in Safari's toolbar
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
- Tap "Add" — the eCards icon appears on your home screen
Most eCards give you a link that expires. We give you a file.
The whole card downloads as one HTML file that opens with no internet — the photos, your letter, the digital envelope, all of it. Twenty years from now it still opens. That is the part nobody else does.
What downloading a card actually gets you- 3000px+
- The resolution photos arrive at — enough for a 4×6, a 5×7 or an 8×10 off a home printer.
- 15
- Photos on one card, plus a 30-second video, once you unlock it with a Card Pack. Three on a free card.

Two ways it can arrive
Same card, same photos. You choose whether it also lands on a doormat.
One — it stays on a screen
Sealed, on screen
Their name on the front in your choice of hand, a stamp in the corner, wax holding it shut. They break the seal themselves before a single photo shows. Thirty-two paper stocks, five hands, five wax colours — and the digital envelope travels inside the downloaded file, so it still opens that way years later.
The sealed envelope is a Card Pack feature. A free card opens straight to the photos.

Two — it comes in the post — new
Printed and posted, from $6.99
We print your card on thick 5×7 stock, put your message inside, stamp it and mail it anywhere in the world. On the back is a QR code: they scan it and the full digital card opens, every photo at full quality, ready to download.
2–7 days in the US, 3–9 in Canada. One flat price, no subscription. Or have it mailed to you, to hand over yourself.
How printed cards workThese three are photographs of a card we actually printed and posted.
Why this exists
My son's school photos came back digital that year. We wanted to send them to family across the country, the way we always had — a print tucked into a card. Every eCard service I tried either crushed the quality or made the photo impossible to download.
So I built this instead. Now when my family opens the card, the photos fall out. My mom sends them straight to her printer and they are on the fridge in five minutes. That is the whole product — everything else here exists to make that one moment work.
— Built by a dad in Ontario who just wanted to mail school photos
“I've used these cards many times. It's so convenient and easy to send one with many pictures instead of just sending pictures in a text. I know that seeing a card makes people smile and brightens their days. I love this site and I highly recommend.”
What it costs
Free is a real product, not a trial. Nothing here is a subscription unless you want one.

Follow us for seasonal designsQuestions people ask
Do recipients need an account to open the card?
No. Anyone with the link can open the card and download the photos. Nothing to sign up for on their end, ever.
Can they really print the photos at home?
Yes. Photos download at original resolution, typically 3000 pixels and up, which is enough for a clean 4×6, 5×7 or 8×10 on a home photo printer. They can also email them to a WiFi frame — Skylight, Aura, Pix-Star and the rest.
What happens when a free card expires?
Free cards stay live 60 days; cards unlocked with a Card Pack stay for the life of your account. Before a card expires, anyone can download the whole thing and keep it — the download works offline, forever.
How long does a mailed card take?
Around 2–7 days in the US and 3–9 in Canada. It goes by post, so it is not the choice for tomorrow’s birthday — but the digital card is ready to share the moment you order.
Is my payment secure?
Payments run through Stripe. We never see or store card details. End-to-end encryption is available on cards you want protected.
