Read full description

LivingPostcard turns any photo into an animated keepsake. Pick an image, write a message in your own handwriting (or a beautiful preset font), and watch it draw itself across the photo — like the closing scene of a film. Export as a high-quality animated GIF and share anywhere. Inspired by handwritten postcards and the analog magic of seeing words appear on paper, LivingPostcard is the easiest way to make a photo feel personal again.
