Photo on the left, dotted divider, address area on the right. Faux postage stamp, postmark with your city and today's date, optional sepia tint. Print 5×7, write a real note on the back, mail it. Nothing uploads. For real postcards in bulk, use a print service.

Inking the postmark…
where a postcard earns its keep
for travel
You took twelve good photos in Lisbon and zero postcards. Run a hero shot through here with 'LISBON' as the place — you've got a postcard that beats anything sold at the airport. Print at 5×7 on cardstock, hand-write a note on the back, drop in a mailbox.
for instagram
IG carousel covers for travel posts get more saves when they look 'designed'. The vintage postcard treatment — paper border, postmark, serif POSTCARD header — reads as 'I curated this' instead of 'I uploaded this'. Better save rate, better follow rate.
for journals
Real travel journals want a hero spread for each city — a single image that stands in for the whole trip. The postcard treatment is purpose-built for that. Print on cream cardstock, glue onto the spread, surround with ticket stubs and washi tape.
for save-dates
Destination wedding save-the-dates land harder when they look like an actual postcard from where you're getting married. Drop a photo of the venue, type the city, sepia toggle on. Mail at postcard postage rates — cheaper than full envelopes.
for prints
Single-image wall art often misses because there's no context. The postcard treatment adds context — the place, the sense of 'someone went here, sent this back'. 5×7 print in a small frame, three or four in a row above a desk, you've got a travel wall.
for goodbyes
Easier than a card-store card, more personal too. Drop a photo of the two of you somewhere, type 'GOODBYE' or the city you were in, sepia on for nostalgia. Print, write a real note, hand it over. Better than a Hallmark.
in case you're wondering
No. The whole postcard renders to a canvas in your browser. Your photo never touches our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all.
1400×1000 pixels at 7:5 aspect ratio, designed for 5×7-inch print. Standard postcard rate at the post office is for 4.25×6 cards, so check sizing if you're mailing — for that, drop the result through Crop & Resize to trim to 6×4.25 in the same proportions.
No — the stamp is purely decorative. It's there for the postcard look, not for actual postage. To mail, you'll need to add real postage (the post office sells postcard-rate stamps for around $0.56 in the US).
Polaroid is a portrait-or-square card with a paper border, no postal markings. Postcard is landscape with a 'POSTCARD' header, a faux stamp, and a postmark — a different cultural object. They serve different aesthetics: Polaroid for instant film/journal feel; Postcard for travel/correspondence feel.
Four stamp color presets — Liberty (blue/red), Kraft (brown/ink), Rose (terracotta/cream), Mono (ink/cream). The stamp design itself is fixed. For more variety, run the result through Add Text to Photo and overlay your own stamp graphic.
That's the address-side of a real postcard — the dotted line down the middle separates the message half (left) from the address half (right). The four guide lines on the right are where 'TO:' and the recipient's address would go. Hand-write addresses there if you're mailing.
