MyPostcard

MyPostcard lets users design printed postcards and other cards online or in its iOS and Android apps, then prints and mails them to recipients worldwide. Users can add their own photos and text or choose from a design store with more than 70,000 designs. Other products include photo prints, frames, card sets, audio cards, and video cards; audio cards can carry a personal voice message or song. Photos can come from a computer, phone, Instagram, or Facebook. Uploads must be at least one megapixel and no larger than 10 MB, and postcard greetings allow up to 450 characters, with the available count depending on font and size. Standard Postcard costs €3.49, paid once, shipping included. Premium Postcard is €3.99, paid once, and Folded Card with Envelope is €4.29, paid once; shipping is included in both listed prices. Delivery estimates are 3–5 business days in the USA, 1–2 in Germany, and up to 14 business days elsewhere. Drafts save automatically on iOS, must be saved manually on Android, and can be saved using a control on the web version.

MyPostcard combines card personalization with printing and direct mailing. Check photo requirements, message length, delivery estimates, and the listed price for the format you want.

MyPostcard suits people who want to personalize and mail printed cards from a phone or computer. It also offers audio cards for messages or songs.

MyPostcard turns a personal design into a printed card or photo product that can be mailed to someone else. It suits people who want to send a physical greeting without arranging printing and postage separately. Its choice of formats is appealing, while one-off pricing and variable delivery times make it less suitable when budgets or arrival dates must be tightly controlled.

Overview

Users can build a card with their own photos and text or start from a design in a catalog of more than 70,000 motifs and templates. Products include photo postcards, greeting cards, card sets, prints, frames, audio cards and video cards. That range serves personal occasions particularly well: an audio card can carry a voice message or song inside a real greeting card.

Postcard greetings can contain up to 450 characters, though the limit changes with font and size. Photos must be at least one megapixel and no larger than 10 MB, so image suitability is worth checking before settling on a design. Photos can come from a computer or phone, Instagram or Facebook.

Key features

Design, print and mailing

The service brings design, printing and direct mailing together, sparing users the separate steps of finding a printer and handling postage. MyPostcard says it prints and ships postcards and greeting cards from New York City and Berlin within 24 hours. That is the stated production window, not a delivery promise: estimated delivery is 3–5 business days in the USA, 1–2 in Germany and up to 14 business days elsewhere. The gap matters for time-sensitive greetings, especially for international recipients.

Drafts and support

Drafts save automatically on iOS; Android users need to save them manually, while the web version has a Save draft control. That platform difference can affect a design left unfinished. A searchable FAQ covers accounts, shipping, payment and technical questions, and customers can email support or submit an in-app ticket for missing or late orders.

The FAQ says submitted data is encrypted in its database, used only to provide the service and not shared with third parties. Referrals give both the existing user and a friend €3 in account credit when the friend registers and enters the referral code.

Pricing

MyPostcard charges per item, with shipping included in the prices below. The Standard Postcard is the lowest-priced listed format at €3.49, paid once, making it the straightforward choice for a basic mailed postcard. Larger and folded formats cost more, so the right choice depends on the physical format the occasion calls for.

• Standard Postcard: €3.49, paid once; shipping included.
• Premium Postcard: €3.99, paid once; shipping included.
• Folded Card with Envelope: €4.29, paid once; shipping included.
• Postcard with Envelope: €4.49, paid once; shipping included.
• Postcard XL: €6.49, paid once; shipping included.
• Postcard XXL: €8.49, paid once; shipping included.
• Folded Card XXL with Envelope: €9.29, paid once; shipping included.

Supersize Folded Card, Supersize Postcard and A3 posters without a frame have custom pricing. The service has a free plan, but no free trial; the listed per-item prices remain relevant when choosing a paid format. Per-order pricing is easy to understand for occasional cards, but repeated mailings add up item by item.

Platforms

MyPostcard is available on Android, iOS and the web, and it also lists an API. The mobile apps and web editor provide the main creation routes; draft saving differs between them, with manual saving required on Android.

Who it's for

MyPostcard is a good fit for individuals who want to personalize a card or photo product and have it printed and mailed in one service. Its many templates and product types help when a standard postcard feels too limited. It is a weaker fit for people who need firm delivery dates, or for organizations planning recurring high-volume mailings: the company presents branded postcards as a marketing use, but the listed products are priced per item and international delivery can take up to 14 business days.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Design, printing and direct mailing sit in one service, so users do not need to arrange separate print and postage steps.
• Pro: More than 70,000 designs and products ranging from postcards to audio cards give personal senders room to choose a fitting format.
• Pro: Shipping is included in the prices for the listed postcard and folded-card formats, making each listed order price easier to read.
• Con: The message allowance tops out at 450 characters and can be lower depending on font and size, which constrains longer greetings.
• Con: Delivery estimates vary substantially by destination, reaching up to 14 business days outside the USA and Germany.
• Con: Android users must save drafts manually, unlike iOS users whose drafts save automatically.

Alternatives

For another postcard-focused option, compare the Postcard Maker Software directory. Adobe Express Video is a better fit for readers seeking a freemium web or mobile design tool with 155,000+ templates and 5 GB of storage on its free plan. PRINTgenie is another freemium option with Android, iOS, web and API platforms.

SnapShot Postcard may suit readers who want a monthly membership: its Premium membership is $4.99 a month and includes one free credit each month, with no extra charge for large postcards and cancellation at any time. TouchNote offers an individual postcard for $4.99, paid once with postage included, or a monthly membership for readers who prefer a subscription.

PicMonkey is a paid web and mobile option for editing images, with Basic at $7.99 a month and JPG or PNG export. Canva is a freemium design alternative with a free plan for one person and a core design editor. Lob Address Verification is the more relevant choice for API-based mailing workflows, with a free Developer plan that includes up to 6,000 mailings and one user. Postable suits web users who want a free address book without a card purchase requirement.

Verdict

Choose MyPostcard if you want to turn your own photos or a ready-made design into a physical card and have it mailed in one order. The format range and included shipping make it practical for occasional personal greetings. Look elsewhere if a fixed arrival date or predictable costs for frequent mailings matter more than combining design and mailing.
