Questions
Good to know.
What is a digital pop-up card?
A greeting card that opens in the browser like a paper pop-up: the cover swings open and layers stand up in 3D. Your recipient gets a link, opens it on any phone or computer, and can tap each person to read their note.
How much does it cost?
Making a card is free while Hugfold is in beta. You can make up to 3 cards a day.
Do I need an account?
No. After your card is drawn, you enter your email and confirm it. That unlocks the link you share, so nobody can send cards in your name.
How do you turn my photo into an illustration?
An image model redraws the people in your photo as illustrated characters, keeping hair, glasses and clothing colours, and sets them in a scene for the occasion. If the result misses, try a brighter photo where every face is visible.
What happens to my photo?
It is used once to draw your card and deleted right after. We never show it publicly or use it for training. Only the illustration is kept, at a private link.
How do I send it?
Once you confirm your email you get the card link. Send it by text, WhatsApp or email. It opens on any phone or computer without an app.
