Free Birthday Ecards to Send by Link

A birthday ecard here is not a flat picture. They blow out candles, cut a cake or unwrap a box on their phone, and your photo and birthday message are inside. You write it in a minute and send the link in the chat you already use with them.

Pick how they open it, write your birthday message, copy the link. The birthday card design is already selected.

Free to create, send and open · no signup · no app · no ads on the gift · no watermark · photo gifts: 30 days · gifts without photos: 60 days · automatically deleted, from creation

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick candles, cake or gift box below.

  2. 2

    Write your birthday message and add a photo if you have one.

  3. 3

    Create the link and send it. They open it in their browser.

Which birthday page do you need?

This page is for sending a birthday ecard by link, with the three birthday openings side by side. The birthday occasion page shows every birthday experience, including milestone and belated cards. The birthday card generator starts you in the maker straight away. The cake and candle pages each explain one opening in detail.

All of them make the same kind of card: your photo and message, opened in a browser, free and without an account.

Not sure what to write?

Tap a line to start with it — it lands in the card, ready to edit.

Questions

Are the birthday ecards free, with no sign up?

Yes. Making, sending and opening are free, there is no account on either side, and there are no ads or watermark on the card.

Do you send the ecard by email on the birthday?

No. You get a private link and send it yourself, whenever you like. You can set an unlock time in the maker so the card cannot be opened before the day, but the link still has to be sent by you.

Can I put a photo in the birthday ecard?

Yes. Add any photo and it is revealed under the candles, in the cake or inside the box before the card opens. Without a photo, the card itself is what they uncover.

What if the birthday was yesterday?

It still works. Write it as a belated card; there is a belated birthday page made for exactly that. It takes about a minute.

How long can they open it?

A birthday ecard with a photo is deleted 30 days after creation; without a photo, 60 days. Replaying does not extend that.
