Postcard Pigeon - Send your photos as real postcards
by•
We print and post your photos as real postcards to the UK, Europe and US.
We tried to make it as simple as possible: no accounts, no subscriptions, and simple, transparent pricing.
Pick a photo, write a message, and we’ll do the rest.

@przemek6 lol. Next step is MCP for those agents to streamline postcards?
@mut1na Some things shouldn’t be too easy, and the thinking shouldn’t be outsourced. If you have a photo you want to send someone and something you genuinely want to say, do it. If you don’t, don’t ask Claude & Co. to pretend it came from you :-)
Super easy process. Are you aiming for a specific type of user?
@mut1na Yes — ourselves, mainly. And other cool people too! :)
But seriously, we think it’s a really nifty little thing, especially when you’re hiking, travelling, or for sending photos from your every day life.
check our instagram for examples
Love how they stripped away accounts and subscriptions. Just upload, write, done. That kind of restraint in a product built around physical mail is pretty rare.
@mermercise71555 Thank you!
This app made me remember old friends.
@zdenekhynek here to serve! I mean post.
Absolutely loved using this!!! Recipients loved it too. Really cute idea and sooo easy to use
@maceybaker Thank you for being an early adopter! :-)!
how long does it usually take for the postcard to actually arrive once you’ve placed the order
@medine2uta Hi
We say up to 7 working days in our terms to be on the safe side, but generally:
UK: 3–5 working days
Europe: around 7 working days
US: around 7 working days
We monitor delivery times and always do right by our users. If a postcard is delayed or goes missing (shit happens!), we’ll always either refund you, give you a voucher for another postcard, or both.
How does it handle address accuracy if someone only sends back a reply card without including their full address, and is there a way to track delivery once the postcard is in the mail?
@kranurrurw
There isn’t a reply card. The sender enters the recipient’s full address when placing the order, and we validate it to the best of our ability.
If an address turns out to be wrong, we can often amend it before printing or offer a discretionary reprint.
Postcards are sent by standard untracked mail, so there isn’t live delivery tracking once they’ve been posted.
Love the no-account approach, thats a refreshing take these days. Quick question though - how do you handle the back of the postcard, do you split the area between the message and the address yourself or do I get to design that part?
@masal7ddh We handle the layout automatically — the message goes on one side of the back and the recipient’s address on the other. You just choose the photo, write your message and enter the address.
And yes, we print emojis too!
Took about a week for my card to land in London and the print quality was honestly better than I expected from a phone photo. The no-account thing is genuinely refreshing.
@rojin770 Thanks for being an early adopter. have you used iPhone App or website ?
Sent a card to my mum last week and it arrived two days later with a real stamp and everything, felt wonderfully old fashioned. Loved that I didn't have to sign up for anything.
@bkarakasog87706 thank you for your custom... Not sure about real stamp... but..
