For birthdays, invitations, thank yous, births, holidays and more… Create your own postcards and greeting cards online! We will either post them for you or send them directly to you in 24 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays).

You can choose from 3 options:

  • - sets of cards with your photo ("collections de cartes avec votre photo"),
  • - sets of cards without a photo ("collections de cartes sans photo"),
  • - sets of cards with special effects ("collections de cartes à effets spéciaux").

These step-by-step instructions show you how to create a card with your photo on the French site. The instructions are the same if you want to create a card without a photo or a card with special effects.

1 / 8Create a card with your photo

To start, click on "Je commande" on the home page of the site, then on "Collections de cartes avec votre photo". Then, click on "Choisir le fichier" and select the photo to upload from your computer (JPEG format only, with a maximum size of 10 Mb).
Once you have chosen the file, click on "télécharger".
Once your photo has been downloaded, you can:
  • - make it rotate by clicking on "rotation 180°",
  • - retouch it with the picnik software (available in English) by clicking on "retoucher photo avec logiciel picnik (beta)".

You can also change the photo by clicking on "changer photo".
