About Hey Postcard
Hey Postcard is a digital postcard product that includes a standalone app and a free web maker. Digital postcards sent through the app arrive at a random time between 8 and 10 a.m. the next day. The app is designed around regularly sending postcards back and forth with family and friends and staying in touch; the Android version has a waitlist. The free web version requires no account: create postcard-style digital cards in a browser by uploading JPG, PNG, or WebP images (up to 10 MB) and writing a message, then share them online or generate a free PNG postcard image. Before sharing, the photos and message remain in the current browser.
