How the Keep Forever Feature Works
One File, Everything Inside
When you click "Keep Forever", we package the entire card into a single HTML file. All photos are converted to base64 and embedded directly inside. The animations, your message, the design — everything is contained in that one file.
No Internet Required
Once downloaded, the file works completely offline. Double-click to open it in any web browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. No connection to our servers or anywhere else needed.
Built to Last
HTML is the most stable file format on the internet. It has been supported for 30+ years and will continue to work for decades more. We chose this format specifically for permanent preservation.
Everything Is Preserved
Your Photos
Full resolution, exactly as uploaded. Download individually for printing.
Your Message
Typed or handwritten notes preserved exactly as you created them.
The Animations
Photos still tumble out, the card still opens beautifully.
The Design
Card template, colors, and styling — all captured perfectly.
Personal Videos
Your 30-second video messages embedded and playable.
Voice Messages
If included, audio recordings are embedded and playable.
Video Covers
Signature card video animations preserved and looping.

Privacy-First Guide
Cards Worth Keeping Forever
Real stories from real senders
It was delightful to receive these photos of a very special trip. I was able to download all the photos and even the card to make an album.. Plus all the photos are print quality.
It was easy
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.
Common Questions
How does the offline download work?
When you click "Keep Forever", the entire card downloads as a single HTML file. This file contains all photos, animations, and your message embedded inside. Open it anytime with any web browser — no internet needed.
Will the downloaded card still work in 10 years?
Yes! The HTML file uses standard web technologies that every browser supports. As long as computers have web browsers, your card will work. We designed it for permanent preservation.
What about the photo quality in the download?
All photos are embedded at their original uploaded resolution. When you open the offline card, you can still download individual photos at full quality for printing.
How big is the downloaded file?
File size depends on your photos. A typical card with 2-3 photos is 5-15MB. Cards with more or larger photos will be bigger. The file includes everything needed to display the card.
Can I share the downloaded file with others?
Absolutely! Send the HTML file via email, save it to a USB drive, or store it in cloud backup. Anyone who receives it can open it in their browser.
Do I need to pay for the offline download?
No! The "Keep Forever" download feature is available to every recipient at no cost, whether the card was created free or with a Card Pack. Anyone who receives a card can download it for permanent keeping.
Is there a limit on how many times a card can be downloaded?
To ensure cards remain available for their intended recipients, there are download limits. Free cards allow 100 total downloads, and cards made with a Card Pack allow 500. Once downloaded, recipients can keep and view their copy forever offline.
Memories That Last
Create a card knowing that whoever receives it can keep it forever. Not just until a link expires or a service shuts down — actually forever.
