I started with a photo from my camera roll and expected to spend ages fiddling with it, but the whole thing was surprisingly quick. I tried two styles, moved the text a little, wrote the message on the back and added my sister's address. The preview made it really clear what would be printed. She sent me a photo when it arrived and it looked better than it did on my phone.

What senders say
Real experiences, from making a postcard to sending it.
Postcards in the wild
Made one on my phone while waiting for a train. Uploaded a holiday photo, used one of the suggested previews or whatever, changed the headline and then wrote the msg. I liked that I didn't have to create an account before I knew I actually wanted the card. Checkout could be easier.
I used atemplate because I had absolutely 0 design ideas. Swapped in my own picture, changed two words and was done. My friend kept it on her fridge which is probably the best review I can give.
Good to know
Can I write my own newspaper headline?
Yes. Add their name, age and the news you want to share. Depending on the design, the front can include a main headline, smaller article headlines, short article columns and details such as a date or edition line. Keep each piece of wording concise so it remains readable on the postcard.
What kind of photo should I use?
Choose a clear, well-lit photo with faces looking towards the camera. You can add a note about details to keep when you upload it.
Is it free to design?
Yes. Designing is free. You only pay for printing and postage, per card.
What will the recipient receive?
A printed landscape A6 postcard, with your design on the front and your message and address on the back. We print and post it for you.
