How it works

From your brief to their first tap, start to finish. One price, £7.99, and your link within 48 hours of your photos.

  • £7.99 a card
  • Up to 7 people and pets
  • One free round of changes

Seven steps. We do the hard one.

Your part takes about ten minutes. Ours takes up to 48 hours.

  1. Fill in the brief

    About five minutes on the order page: who it's for, who's in it, where it's set, what happens when it opens, the in-jokes and your message. It saves as you go.

  2. Pay £7.99

    By card, through Stripe's secure checkout. We never see your card number. No extras and nothing added at the end.

  3. Upload the photos

    One clear photo of each person, face and outfit, plus the place if you can. You upload them on the page you land on after paying, and your order reference keeps them with your brief.

  4. We make your card

    We draw your people as cartoons, build their scene and animate it: the opening, the song, the things to tap. AI tools help with the drawing and the animation, and a real person checks every card before you see it.

  5. You check it first

    Within 48 hours of your photos, we email the private link to you, never to them. Tap everything. Want a different word, face or colour? One round of changes is included.

  6. Send it on

    Paste the link into WhatsApp, a text or an email. It opens with one tap on any recent phone, tablet or computer, song and all. No app, no sign-up.

  7. They keep it

    The card stays live for at least 12 months, so they can open it again. They will.

What we need from you

  • A clear photo of each person, face and outfit
  • Where to set it, in a line or two
  • Names, in-jokes and the message for inside
  • About ten minutes, all in

Good to know

  • It's private. Cards aren't listed on search engines, and only people with the link can open one.
  • Your photos don't hang about. Uploaded photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 30 days after you upload them. The card shows cartoons, never your photos.
  • It can be a surprise. We only ever talk to you, never the birthday person.
  • Leave a little time. Your link comes within 48 hours of your photos, so order a few days before the big day.
  • Changed your mind? Cancel any time before we send the link and you get a full refund. The terms have the detail.
  • Something not right? If your card doesn't open or play properly, we fix it. If we can't, we refund you, in full or in part depending on the problem.

That's it. Really.

Ten minutes now, one very happy birthday later.
