MyPostcard

MyPostcard turns personal photos and messages into printed cards and other photo products, then mails them worldwide. It is best for individuals sending a physical greeting without arranging a separate printer or postal service. The broad product range is appealing, while per-item pricing and variable delivery times matter for anyone planning a larger or date-critical mailing.

Overview

The web service and mobile apps let you start with your own images and text or select from a design store containing more than 70,000 designs and motifs. Alongside photo postcards and greeting cards, the catalogue includes card sets, photo prints, photo frames, audio cards and video cards. Audio cards can carry a personal voice message or a song inside a physical greeting card, giving milestone and gift messages a more distinctive format than a standard postcard.

Photos can be imported from a computer or phone, as well as Instagram or Facebook. Postcard greetings allow up to 450 characters, although the usable count changes with font and font size. Uploaded images must be at least one megapixel and no larger than 10 MB, so image resolution and file size should be checked before designing.

Key features

Design, print and direct mail

MyPostcard combines editing, print ordering and mailing in one workflow. That is convenient for occasional personal senders who do not want to source paper, printing and postage separately. It also offers branded postcards as a marketing tool and invites postal operators to discuss cooperation, but the published products and one-off prices are clearest for individual orders.

Production and delivery

The company says postcards and greeting cards are printed and shipped from New York City and Berlin within 24 hours. Its estimates are 3–5 business days in the USA, 1–2 in Germany and up to 14 business days elsewhere. Those ranges make domestic German delivery relatively predictable, while international recipients may require substantial allowance. Email support and in-app ticket submission are available when an order is missing or late.

Drafts, privacy and help

iOS saves drafts automatically. Android requires a manual save, and the web editor provides a Save draft control, so unfinished work behaves differently by platform. The FAQ says submitted data is used only to provide the service, encrypted in its database and not shared with third parties. A searchable FAQ covers accounts, shipping, payment and technical questions.

The referral program credits both the existing user and a friend with €3 when the friend registers and enters the referral code. This is useful for occasional senders who can introduce another user, but it does not change the price of an ordinary order.

Pricing

MyPostcard uses one-time, shipping-included prices rather than a required subscription. A free plan is offered, but no free-trial period is provided and the published product prices apply when ordering printed items.

All listed prices include shipping and are charged once per item. The €3.49 Standard Postcard suits routine personal mail; larger and folded formats cost substantially more, so they are better reserved for occasions where size or presentation matters. Custom pricing means the supersize and A3 options require a separate quote rather than a stated checkout amount.

Platforms

MyPostcard is available on Android, iOS and the web, and it also offers an API. Mobile users can work from phone photos, while the web version suits computer-based uploads. Draft handling differs: iOS autosaves, whereas Android users must save manually and web users must use Save draft.

Who it's for

Choose MyPostcard if you want a personal photo or message printed and mailed worldwide, especially when audio or video cards add value. It also suits users who want a large template catalogue and multiple physical formats. It is less suitable when every recipient must receive a card within a tightly controlled date window, when a large batch needs a predictable unit budget, or when manual Android draft saving is unacceptable.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Printing and mailing are integrated: one service handles the design through dispatch.
• Wide product choice: postcards, folded cards, prints, frames, sets, audio cards and video cards cover more occasions than a basic postcard tool.
• Large design catalogue: more than 70,000 designs provide ready-made starting points.
• Worldwide reach: the service ships from New York City and Berlin and supports international destinations.
• Referral credit: both people receive €3 when the referral conditions are met.

Cons

• Delivery varies by destination: international estimates can extend to 14 business days.
• Per-item costs accumulate: there is no published bulk-rate structure, and larger formats quickly exceed the standard price.
• Media constraints: photos must meet the one-megapixel minimum, 10 MB maximum and postcard text limit.
• Inconsistent draft workflow: Android requires manual saving while iOS autosaves.
• Some products lack a posted price: supersize cards and A3 posters use custom pricing.

Alternatives

For a broader general design editor with a freemium model, compare Canva, which offers a free plan and free trial on macOS and Windows. Adobe Express Video is a better match when web, iOS or Android creation and video-oriented templates are the priority, with a free plan including 155,000-plus templates and 5 GB storage. Avery Design & Print is the straightforward free web option for designs intended for printable Avery products rather than direct postcard mailing.

For developer-led mailing workflows, Lob Address Verification provides API and web tools with a free Developer tier, while Postalytics targets campaign management through API and web access. Postable offers a free address book and paid greeting-card orders, and SnapShot Postcard is another Android, iOS, web and API postcard service with a $4.99 monthly membership option. Browse Postcard Maker Software for a wider category comparison.

Verdict

MyPostcard is a strong choice for individuals who want one workflow for personal design, physical printing and worldwide mailing, particularly when its unusual audio and video cards or extensive templates fit the occasion. Look elsewhere if fixed arrival dates, bulk-cost control or a uniform draft experience across platforms is more important than format variety.
