Print an addressed envelope straight from your iPhone — no word-processor templates, no guessing margins. Envely makes a PDF at the exact size of your envelope, with the recipient centered and your return address in the corner. Pick the envelope size, type the recipient or choose one from Contacts, add your return address and tap Make Envelope. Then feed an envelope into your printer and print at 100% scale. • STANDARD SIZES — #10 business envelope (9.5 × 4.125 in), A7 for 5×7 invitations (7.25 × 5.25 in), A2 for folded notecards and RSVPs (5.75 × 4.375 in), or any custom size from 2 to 15 inches per side. • TRUE-SIZE PDF — the page is the envelope itself, so it prints 1:1 with no scaling guesswork. When there's room, the recipient block stays above the bottom strip used for postal barcodes. • RECIPIENT FROM CONTACTS — pick a person and one of their postal addresses; Envely only receives the address you tap, so no Contacts permission is needed. Or type the address yourself, exactly as it should print. • RETURN ADDRESS REMEMBERED — your return address is saved for the next envelope, and you can switch it off for a single print. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print with AirPrint, share the PDF, or save it to Files. Honest scope: Envely makes one envelope per PDF — it doesn't do mail merge or batch printing from a list. Your printer must be able to feed envelopes (check its manual for the envelope tray or manual feed). Custom sizes are entered in inches. Everything is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 envelopes. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited envelopes. No subscription, no ads.
