Video cards

Video birthday cards
their face, animated, with a soundtrack

Not a template with their name pasted on. A produced little film of the actual birthday person, starring in a scene you dreamt up, delivered straight to their phone. They tap the link, the music starts, and it is them on screen. Nobody else makes this.

The moment it lands

Picture their face when they see their face

Their phone buzzes. It is a link from you. They tap it expecting a gif of a cat in a party hat, and instead it is them, riding a unicorn through their home town while the music swells. Cue the scream, the replay, and it going straight round the group chat. That reaction is the product. The card is just how we get there.

How it works

One photo in, one little film out

Step 1

Upload one photo

Any decent photo of the birthday person. The one from the group chat is fine. That face is about to star in something.

Step 2

Describe the scene

Riding a dragon over the office. Headlining Glastonbury. Lifting the league cup. One line about them, as daft or as lovely as you like.

Step 3

The genie animates it

The genie paints them into the scene and sets it moving with a soundtrack. A produced little film of your mate, ready in about 2 minutes.

Prefer a still image? The birthday card generator starts at £1.79.

The honest comparison

Why video beats paper

No postage, no queue

It lands on their phone in seconds, not on their doormat in three working days.

Saves the day at 11pm

Forgot until the night before? Made, sent and forgiven in about 2 minutes.

Gets rewatched

Paper gets read once and filed on the windowsill. A video of them gets replayed, screenshotted and sent round the group chat.

Cannot get lost in the post

No sorry-we-missed-you card, no bent envelope. Just a link that opens first time, every time.

The honest answers

Video card questions, answered

Can you send birthday cards on WhatsApp?

Yes. Every card comes with a shareable link you can drop straight into WhatsApp, and the link opens on any phone with no app and no sign-up needed. You can also send it by email or just share the link wherever they are. It plays full screen with sound the moment they tap it.

How much does a video birthday card cost?

A 5 second video birthday card is £3.49. Want more screen time? A 10 second video is £4.99 and the 15 second cinematic cut is £7.99. If you would rather send a still image card, those start at £1.79. Every option starts with a free preview, so you see it before you spend a penny.

How long does it take to make?

About 2 minutes. Upload a photo, write one line about the birthday person, and the genie does the rest while you put the kettle on. Fast enough to save you the night before, quick enough to send at midnight on the day.

Do I have to pay before I see the card?

No. You always get a free watermarked preview first, and you only pay to send or keep the finished card. If the preview does not make you grin, walk away and it costs you nothing.

What do you need from me to make one?

One photo and one line. That is genuinely it. The genie paints them into whatever scene you describe, animates it and adds the soundtrack. No editing skills, no software, no fiddling with templates at midnight.

Do video cards only work for birthdays?

Birthdays are the headline act, but the same treatment works a charm for anniversaries, congratulations, new jobs and exam results. Anything where seeing their own face in a little film would land better than a supermarket verse.

Can I get a video card printed?

Yes, sort of magically. The scan-to-reveal printed card carries a code inside that plays the animated card on their phone when scanned. The paper is the wrapping, the video is the gift.
