Upload a film straight off your phone and put it in an envelope with their name on it. Add a letter and the photos. It plays inside the envelope, not on a video site.
Record it on your phone first. The rest takes a few minutes.
On your phone, as you would anyway: just you, saying it to camera, or everyone one after another. A few minutes, even in 4K, fits in 1 GB.
Straight from your camera roll, upright or sideways. We make a lighter copy so it plays at once for them. Or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link.
The film is one piece and an envelope holds up to ten. Put a letter first, so they read it before they press play.
Now, or sealed until the day and time you set. They tap the seal, read, and press play, on any phone or computer.
About five minutes for you to write. For them, one link that opens like the real thing.
Send it by text, WhatsApp or email, or we’ll email it to them for you.
It opens in their browser. No app, no account, no password.
Your letter, a postcard of your photo, and a film of you saying it.
The same film, three ways to send it. Only one arrives with their name on it and a letter to read first.
| In an envelope | On WhatsApp | On YouTube | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arrives as | An envelope with their name on it | One more message in the chat | A link to a video site |
| Quality | Up to 1 GB straight off your phone | Compressed to send | Fine, once it’s processed |
| Next to it | Your letter and photos, in the order you set | Whatever the chat was saying | Adverts and other videos |
| Who sees it | Whoever has the link, and the passphrase if you set one | Everyone in the chat | Anyone with the link, unless it’s private |
| Waits for the day | Sealed until the minute you set | Not once it’s sent | Not as a private gift |
| What it costs | $5 for the whole envelope | Nothing | Nothing |
Each one starts on the envelope that suits it, with ideas for what to put inside.
Priced by what’s inside, not how much. Paid once. No subscription.
Taken off automatically at checkout. For a first envelope, once per email address.
Start an envelope here, add a film and upload the video from your phone or computer. Add a letter if you like, pay once, then send the link by text, WhatsApp or email, or we’ll email it to them for you.
$5 for the whole envelope with a film in it, up to ten pieces: the film, a letter, the photos. Paid once by card through Stripe, with no subscription.
Up to 1 GB, which is a few minutes straight off a phone, even in 4K. Longer than that? Trim it down, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link instead.
No. An uploaded film plays inside the envelope, for whoever has its link, and nothing is posted anywhere. Add a passphrase if you want to be sure only they can open it.
Yes. Each film is its own piece and an envelope holds up to ten, so add one per film, with a letter or photos in between. It’s still one price.
Record one film with everyone in it, one after another, and upload it as a piece. Or collect a few films and add one each.
Yes. Send the link whenever you like, or send it early and set the day and time it opens. Until then they see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal, read your letter and press play.
A year after it’s first opened, and they get a link to save their own copy. Letters and photos are kept for good. A YouTube or Vimeo link lasts as long as the video does there.
Each piece inside gets its own paper and type, and you can change the envelope any time before you pay.
A letter, postcards and a film, any mix, up to ten pieces, revealed one at a time in the order you set.
