Birthday Card Generator

Pick how they open it, add a photo and your birthday message, and copy the link. It takes about a minute.

Questions

Is the birthday card generator free?

Yes — generating, sending, and opening the card are all free, with no account or watermark.

What does it generate exactly?

A private link. Opening it plays your card: a cake they cut or a gift box they unwrap, then your photo and message inside.

Can I generate a card with my own photo?

Yes — add any photo and it's revealed inside the card. The whole gift is deleted after 30 days with a photo, or 60 days without, from creation.

Do they need an app to open the generated card?

No — it opens in any phone browser from the link. No signup on either side.
