How it works

Four steps from camera roll to a card that stands up.

Send a photo

Any clear family photo works. Faces visible, up to 5 people.

Write the notes

One short message per person. They pop up when someone taps that person.

We draw it

Your people redrawn as illustrated characters in about 30 seconds, then set in layers like a real pop-up: backdrop, bunting, banner.

Share the link

It opens on any phone, no app needed, and the link keeps working for years.

Make one

Start your card.

A note from each person (shown when they tap a name)

Questions

Before you order.

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.

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?

You get a link when the card is ready. Send it by text, WhatsApp or email. It opens on any phone or computer without an app.
