Here's exactly what happens when you send a postcard.
From “I want to share this moment” to “it's in their mailbox” — here's every step.

1Step 1
Open the app. You're already halfway there.
Postie's home screen shows your recent photos front and center. No setup. No tutorial. No account wall. If you haven't sent before, your first postcard takes about two minutes — start to finish.

Camera roll (cluttered) vs. AI-curated picks

2Step 2
AI picks your best shots. (So you don't scroll through 12,000 photos.)
Your camera roll has great photos buried in between blurry ones, screenshots, and seven identical selfies. Postie's AI photo scoring ranks your images by quality — sharpness, lighting, composition — and surfaces the ones worth sending. Your best moments come to you.
You can still browse your full camera roll anytime. But most people find what they want in the first five seconds.

3Step 3
One tap to choose. The rest is automatic.
Tap a photo. Postie instantly previews it as a real postcard. What you see is exactly what prints.

Note-writing screen · 20 handwriting font styles

4Step 4 (Optional)
20 handwriting styles. Zero handwriting required.
Type a quick message and pick a font that feels like you. Whether you prefer something loopy and casual or clean and classic, your words show up looking personal — like you actually wrote them.
Not sure what to say? A lot of people just skip the note. Sometimes a photo of your dog in a tiny sweater speaks for itself.
- 📒
Address book · saved contacts with nicknames
TODO: Replace with real brand asset
5Step 5
Select from your address book. Or add someone new.
Tap a saved address and you're done. Adding someone new takes about 30 seconds — name, street, city, state, zip. Postie saves it automatically for next time.
You can give anyone a nickname (“Grandma Joan” is easier to find than “Joan M. Peterson, 4421 Elm Street...”).

6Step 6
Tap send. We handle everything else.
Once you send, Postie routes your postcard to our print partner, Lob — an enterprise-grade mailing API that prints on premium cardstock and hands off to USPS. You'll get a confirmation the moment your postcard is mailed.
Your recipient gets a real postcard in their mailbox in 3–5 days.
AI picks your best photos (so you don't have to scroll forever).
Camera roll (cluttered, blurry shots mixed in) → AI-curated top picks (sharp, well-lit, great moments)
TODO: Replace with real brand asset
Your camera roll is a mess. That's not an insult — everyone's is. Between the accidental screenshots, the twelve test shots before the right one, and the photos that were blurry but you kept “just in case” — finding the shot worth sending takes forever.
Postie's AI photo scoring changes that.
When you open the app, our algorithm analyzes your recent photos and ranks them by quality: sharpness, lighting, composition, how much of the frame is in focus. The result: your five best recent moments surface at the top. Tap one and you're done.
What the AI looks at:
- ✓Sharpness — Is the subject in focus?
- ✓Lighting — Well-exposed, not blown out or underexposed
- ✓Composition — Subject centered or well-framed, minimal clutter
- ✓Faces — Photos with clear faces tend to rank higher — people want to see people
You're always in control. Browse your full camera roll anytime — the AI is a shortcut, not a filter.
20 handwriting styles. Zero handwriting required.
Some people write beautiful cards. Most of us do not. That's what the font picker is for.
Choose from 20 handwriting-style fonts — from casual and loopy to neat and classic. Your message shows up looking personal and warm, not typed in Arial.

When to add a note:
- ✓Short trips ("Wish you were here!")
- ✓Birthdays ("Thinking of you today")
- ✓Grandkid updates ("She said her first word!")
- ✓Just because ("I found this photo and thought of you")
When to skip the note entirely:
When the photo says it all. A shot of your kids building a snowman doesn't need explanation. Neither does a postcard of the Amalfi Coast you sent to your mom.
Both are completely valid. Postie works either way.
Printed, shipped, delivered in 3–5 days.
Real postcards. Real mailboxes. Real delivery.
Here's what happens after you tap send:
| Step | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Postie routes your postcard to Lob | Seconds |
| Lob prints on premium cardstock | Same day |
| USPS picks up and mails | Next 1–2 business days |
| Postcard arrives in recipient's mailbox | 3–5 business days total |
The technical details (for the curious):
- ·Print partner: Lob — enterprise direct mail API used by major US companies
- ·Card quality: Premium cardstock, vibrant color printing
- ·Shipping method: USPS First-Class
- ·Delivery area: All 50 US states
- ·Tracking: "Your card was mailed" push notification when it ships
📬 Every card you send gets a “your card was mailed” push notification — because the only thing worse than forgetting someone's birthday is sending a card that doesn't arrive.
We set a 3–5 day window because that's honest. Most cards arrive closer to 3 days for most destinations. We don't overpromise and we don't leave you guessing.
Save addresses. Send to anyone, anytime.
The address book is one of those features that seems boring until you realize how much time it saves.
Save as many addresses as you want. Give everyone a nickname so they're easy to find. Next time you want to send your sister something from your trip, she's right there — no digging through texts trying to find her apartment number.
