Questions

Is the birthday card really free?

Yes. Making and sending the card is free, and the person opening it never needs an account or app either.

How do I send it?

When you finish, you get a private link. Send it by text, WhatsApp, email, or any chat — they tap it and the card unwraps on their phone.

Can I add a photo?

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

Do they need to download anything?

No. It opens in any phone browser — no signup, no app, nothing to install.

Other ways to send a birthday card
