Postcard Maker

Creating an account is asked for after several cards, and it exists to protect your work rather than to gate the tool. Once signed in you can leave a postcard card unfinished, close the tab, and resume later without losing the wording, the design or the settings you had chosen. Your files remain on your own device throughout. Nothing about the designs, the sizes or the export formats changes once you have an account.

Yes. The layout adapts to phone screens, with the card preview and the step navigation staying in view while you scroll through the controls beneath. You can write, design, preview and export entirely from a phone, including adding a photograph from your camera roll. Printing from a phone depends on your printer app, so for folded cards a laptop is usually easier at the final step. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. On the postcard maker specifically, the preview redraws as you change anything, so the result is never a surprise.

Each line is controlled independently, which is the difference between a template and a design tool. You can make the heading large and the sign off small, or set the message in a different face from the title. The seven typefaces are all standard system fonts, chosen deliberately so that nothing needs downloading and nothing carries a licence restriction onto the cards you make. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. That holds for the postcard maker at every size, from a shareable image through to a folded print layout.

Yes, and you can reposition or zoom it inside the frame until it sits how you want. The image is processed entirely in your browser and never reaches our servers, so it stays private to you and to whoever receives the card. Because the card is redrawn from raw image data rather than embedding the original file, location information stored inside the photograph does not carry through to the export. If something does not fit what you need, the wording, design, size and fonts can all be changed before export. Everything here is available on the postcard maker without a sign up, a watermark or a paid tier.

Yes. Choose a folded size or an one page print size and the tool exports a print ready PDF laid out correctly for home printing. Print at actual size or one hundred percent rather than fit to page, or the margins shift and the fold lands in the wrong place. For double sided printing choose landscape orientation and flip on the short edge. Test on plain paper first, because printer settings vary between machines. Everything described here applies to the postcard specifically, not just to the site in general.

Yes, open to everyone, with no paid tier. Every design, size and export format is available from the first visit. You write the wording, choose a design, set the font and size of each line separately, then download a print ready PDF or an image file. There is no limit on how many you make, and features other sites charge for, including high resolution export and removing branding from the finished card, cost nothing here. Everything described here applies to the postcard specifically, not just to the site in general.

There are three families of size: digital, one page print and folded. Digital sizes are cut to the proportions the major messaging and social apps expect, which avoids the awkward cropping you get from a generic square. Print and folded sizes export at print resolution as a PDF. Switching between them mid way costs you nothing, since the wording and design carry across. Everything described here applies to the postcard specifically, not just to the site in general. The preview redraws as you work, so you are never guessing at what the exported file will look like.
