Birthday card with
a real photo
Stock-image cards are forgettable. Upload the photo you already have on your phone, the candid one you both actually like, and the card turns into something they keep.
How the photo upload works
Upload from phone or laptop
Drag-and-drop on desktop, file-picker on mobile. JPG, PNG, HEIC all accepted.
Auto-crops to fit the card
Whatever aspect ratio the photo is, it's framed cleanly inside the card. No alignment fiddling.
Reveals after the unwrap
Recipient taps the wrapped gift first; the photo lands as part of the surprise, not as a thumbnail preview.

Common questions
What kind of photo works best?+
A real photo of you two, taken on a phone, no filter. Candid beats curated. The reveal animation does the production value; the photo just needs to be of the actual person, doing an actual thing, with you.
What file types can I upload?+
JPG, PNG, and HEIC (iPhone format). The editor converts them automatically. Most phone photos work without changes.
Is there a size limit?+
Up to about 10 MB per upload. That covers anything taken on a phone in the last decade. Cropped 4K photos still fit.
Where does the photo show up in the card?+
Inside the card, after the recipient taps to unwrap it. They see the wrapped gift first, tap, and the photo + your message + GIFs all appear together.
Can I add multiple photos?+
One main photo per card. If you want a multi-photo experience, build it around the strongest one and add a Google Photos shared-album link as the embedded gift. That gives them a full album behind the card.
Does the photo stay private?+
Only people with the card link see it. The link is unguessable, not indexed by search engines, and you can stop sharing it any time. The photo isn't posted publicly.
