Before you write,
a few things to know.
About saving, sound and how your photos are handled.
Can I start for free?
Try ordinary editing and final review for free. The first successful save or share is free for each App Store identity, and the first claim requires an internet connection. Unlock later new postcards individually at the price shown by the App Store. Save or share the same delivered work again without another unlock.
How do motion and sound work?
Save a still image or a Live Photo with motion and sound. Still images do not keep sound. Live Photo playback and sharing depend on the receiving platform’s support.
Are my photos uploaded?
Ordinary editing, writing, drafts and recordings are handled on your device. Optional AI Creation requires an internet connection and your confirmation before a processed copy of the main image is sent to Postcard’s cloud service and a third-party AI image-generation service. Handwriting, messages and recordings are not included.
Who’s this
one for?
Think of someone and begin with a photo. Keep the finished postcard for yourself, or share it with the person on your mind.
