Come home from a trip. Mail arrives. Trip Postcards turns your trip photos into painted postcards — and everything happens on your iPhone. No account. No upload. No cloud. Your photos never leave your hands. A bundle is waiting Point the app at a window of time — recent trips, a date range, or photos you hand-pick. On-device intelligence finds your trips, chooses the keepers (sharp shots, real smiles, the money shot at the landmark), and skips the near-duplicates. Painted on the phone An AI art model that runs entirely on your iPhone paints a travel-poster world for every card — six moods, from vintage poster to golden hour to watercolor. After a one-time download, it works completely offline, in seconds. Written from the moment Flip a card and the back carries a note grounded in what actually happened — the place, the day of the trip, what's really in the photo. Edit it, or let the on-device writer take a pass. The whole trip on one card Collages that think: spreads, mosaics, one collage per city — with smart rotation so every photo gets its turn, and painted backdrops when you want them. Forward Share the front, the front with its note, a flip animation, or straight to Instagram Stories. Private by architecture, not by promise There is no server that ever sees a photo. No account, no analytics, no ads. The privacy policy is short because there's nothing to disclose. The AI features — painting your postcards and Write with AI — work best on iPhone 15 Pro and newer. On earlier iPhones, you can still turn your trips into real-photo postcards and collages; the AI painting and AI writing simply stay off.
