Common Questions

How is this different from Paperless Post?

We focus on photos. Your photos aren't trapped in a card — they fall out like real printed pictures, and recipients can download each one at full quality to print and frame.

Is this cheaper than Paperless Post?

For photo sharing, yes. Paperless Post charges per card. We offer free cards (2 photos each) or Premium for $39.99/year (~$3.33/mo) with 15 photos, 1GB storage, personal video messages, and video covers.

Can I use my own photos?

Yes! That's the point. Upload your own photos — they stay at full quality and recipients can download and print from home in minutes.

Is there a free tier?

Yes! Create up to 3 free cards with 2 photos each. No account needed for the first card. Need a few more? A 3-Card Pack is just $4.99 — no subscription required. Premium ($39.99/year) adds unlimited cards, more photos (15), 1GB storage, personal video messages, video covers, and scheduled delivery.

Do recipients need an account?

No. You share a link, they click it. Card opens in their browser. No app, no signup, no friction.
