A digital love letter, envelope and all
A digital love letter that still feels like one: your words on paper in an envelope, an opening animation, and flowers that spell their name as it unfolds. Then it does what paper can't, with your photos, your song and your voice.
Free to make. No card until you send it.

Love Letter
What to put on it
Starting points. Keep what sounds like you, skip the rest.
- Ivory paper and a matching envelope, with flowers spelling their name
- A voice message reading the letter aloud, up to three minutes
- Your song on the retro TV, waiting after the last paragraph
- A photo trail of the places you mention in the letter
- Write back, so they can answer with a letter of their own
How a digital love letter opens
The page doesn't start with a wall of text. First comes the opening you picked: a curtain drawing back, petals falling, butterflies, balloons, a heart or a love lock. Then the envelope appears in the colors you chose and the letter slides out on paper. As it does, flowers or butterflies burst out and spell their name, or a few words of yours. It's a small piece of theater that makes reading feel like an event. Five themes set the mood, from soft Blush to deep Wine to quiet Ivory.
Digital or paper love letter?
A paper letter has a lot going for it: your handwriting, the weight in their hand, the shoebox it ends up in. A digital one has other strengths. You can add photos that match what you're writing about, the song that was playing, your voice reading it aloud. You can fix a typo after sending, and it reaches them the same minute, even across an ocean. You don't have to choose. Write the letter on paper, print the QR code at the bottom, and let the page carry everything the envelope couldn't fit.
Tips for writing it
Write the way you talk to them, not the way love letters sound in movies. Start with a moment rather than a declaration: the morning you both missed the bus and decided to walk. Say what you noticed, what it made you feel, what you still think about. Three or four short paragraphs are plenty, because the sections after the letter can carry the rest. Read it out loud once before publishing. If a sentence makes you wince, cut it. If one makes you smile, keep it exactly as it is.

Questions about a page for your love letter
Something else on your mind? Write to us.
Is a digital love letter as romantic as a handwritten one?
It's romantic in a different way. Handwriting is personal, while a page can hold your voice, your song and your photos. You can also do both: a handwritten note with the QR code on it, and the page for everything else.
How long should the letter be?
Long enough to say one true thing well. A few short paragraphs read beautifully on a phone, and the sections you add afterward can hold the photos and memories you didn't fit.
Can I edit the letter after sending it?
Yes. You sign in with a 6-digit code (no password) and change anything, from a single word to the whole letter. The link stays the same, so there's nothing to resend.
What does it cost to send?
Writing it and watching the preview cost nothing. Sending it online takes Plus, $4.99 a month, which gives you your own link, a printable QR code and three sections. The subscription can be canceled anytime.
Who can read my letter?
Only the people you give the link to. The page never appears in search results, and a secret PIN can lock it so that only the two of you can open it.
