Pick a vibe, then where it happens
One tap sets the look, the mood and the message tone. Every vibe keeps the people in your photo recognizable.
What to write in a Then & Now card
Borrow one of these, or let Envelopop draft a message from a few details you share. Every word stays editable.
“Same smile, a few more stories. Happy anniversary!”
“From then to now, you've only gotten better.”
“Look how far we've come, together.”
“Some things never change, like how much I love you.”
“Here's to the next chapter of our then and now.”

Then & Now card questions
What photos work best?
Two photos of the same people in a similar pose and framing give the smoothest transformation.
How is this different from a slideshow?
Instead of cutting between pictures, the video transforms one photo into the other, so the years seem to melt away.
Do they need an app or an account?
Nope. They tap the link and the envelope opens right in their browser, on any phone or computer.
Can I text it or post it?
Yes. Every card can be saved as a GIF or a video, so you can drop it in a group chat, WhatsApp or your stories.
What photos work best?
Clear faces, decent light and one to four people. Old prints work too: snap them with your phone and we'll bring them to life.
Who can see my card?
Only people you share the link with. Links are private and unlisted, and you can delete a card any time.
