How SnapShot Postcard Works
The easiest way to create and send custom photo postcards online or from your iPhone or Android device. Pick a photo, write a message, and we handle the printing, stamping, and mailing — First Class.
Step 1 — Choose Your Photo
Open the SnapShot Postcard app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device and choose any photo from your camera roll — or snap a new one right from the app. Whether it's a beach sunset from your vacation, a candid from a family dinner, or a snow day with the kids, any photo becomes a beautiful custom postcard. Prefer to work from a desktop or laptop? You can also create postcards online right from this website — no app download required.
Step 2 — Personalize Your Postcard
Add a personal message — anything from a quick "Thinking of you!" to a full travel update. Then enter your recipient's mailing address. We support US addresses and international delivery worldwide. Your photo fills the front of the card; your message and the mailing address go on the back, just like a traditional postcard.
Step 3 — We Print and Mail It for You
Once you confirm your order, we take care of everything. Our photo postcard printing process produces vivid, full-color prints on thick, premium postcard stock — far better than anything you'd find at a tourist gift shop. We apply First Class postage and drop it in the mail within 2 business days. US deliveries typically arrive within 3–5 business days after mailing — plan on about a week from the time you send it online to the time it's in their mailbox.
Postcard Sizes
We offer standard 4×6 inch postcards and larger 6×9 inch postcards. Both sizes are printed on thick, glossy stock that looks and feels like the real deal — because it is. Premium members can send large postcards at no extra cost.
Credits and Pricing
Postcards are purchased with credits. Credits cost from $1.19 to $3.49 each depending on how many you buy — the more you buy, the less each one costs. US domestic postcards cost one credit; international postcards cost two credits. You only pay for what you send, with no subscription required.
