Hide your news under a layer of silver foil. Your friend scratches with a finger or mouse, and your photo or card appears underneath. Write the surprise yourself, then send the finished link in your usual chat.
The foil is the opening effect. Your words and optional photo are the surprise; both stay editable before you create the link.
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
Try the demo: drag across the silver foil to uncover the card.
Hide your own message →Start with the scratch-card effect already selected.
Write what you want to reveal, add an optional photo, and preview the result.
Create the link and share it. Your recipient scratches the foil to open the card.
A scratch card works well when the message contains a small discovery: the dinner you have planned, a photo from a shared memory, or a thank-you they were not expecting. Put the actual details in your message before creating the link.
Preview it once as your friend would see it. The demo above is only an example; making your own card lets you replace the words and add a photo.
Tap a line to start with it — it lands in the card, ready to edit.
Yes. Write your message in the maker and optionally upload a photo. With a photo, scratching reveals the image before the card; without one, the card itself is underneath.
No. You choose the content that appears. There are no randomly assigned prizes, payments or redeemable balances. It is a way to reveal a personal message.
No. Once enough foil has been scratched away, the rest clears automatically. A direct-open control is also available if they prefer to skip the gesture.
Create the gift, then share or copy its link into WhatsApp, a text message or another chat. You send the link yourself; the maker does not automatically message your recipient.
The whole gift is deleted 30 days after creation if it has a photo, or after 60 days without a photo. Opening or replaying it does not extend that time.
Same photo and words, a different thing for them to open.
Free, no signup. Add a photo and your words, and send the link.
