Photo postcards, printed and posted
Turn the photo you just took into a real printed postcard, posted the same working day.
Postcardize prints your photo and message on heavy stock and posts it from within the recipient's own country, for travellers, grandparents and anyone who wants to send something physical. The first card is free.
No account. No card. No sales call.
The problem
Physical mail from a person has become rare and therefore disproportionately meaningful, and almost nobody sends it because it requires a shop, a stamp, a pen and a postbox.
Existing photo-to-postcard apps are clumsy, expensive, slow, and the printing quality is poor, so people try once and never return.
Who it is for
Travellers
People who want to send a real postcard from a trip using the photo they just took, without finding a shop, a stamp or a postbox.
Grandparents and families
People who want to send something physical to family, including a whole family at once.
Long-distance relationships
Anyone who wants to send something physical to someone far away, without owning a stamp.
