The digital postcard, explained
A digital postcard is a real postcard, not a template e-card: your own photo, your own handwriting, a stamp, and an envelope, designed and delivered online in minutes.
What is a digital postcard?
A digital postcard (also called a virtual postcard or online postcard) is a two-sided card you design on the web: the front is your own photo or PDF page, the back holds a message in a handwritten font and a stamp. Instead of a mailbox, you send a private link. The recipient opens an envelope animation, sees the front, and flips the card to read the back.
Digital postcard vs e-card
The words get mixed up, but they are different products:
| Digital postcard | E-card | |
|---|---|---|
| Front | Your own photo or PDF | A template you pick |
| Message | On the back, in handwriting, with a stamp | Inside the design |
| Delivery | Private link you send yourself, or email invites | Usually by email from the service |
| Feels like | Real mail: envelope, card, flip | A webpage greeting |
When to send a digital postcard
Send one anywhere a paper postcard would go: holidays, birthdays, thank-yous, births, invitations. It also covers everywhere paper is too slow. If you're travelling and want the card to land before you get home, you forgot a birthday until the day itself, or fifty guests all need the same card, a digital postcard gets there instantly, with a personal link for each person if you need one.
