AR greeting cards
Greeting cards that play a video message.
Print a card, add a video, and the picture on the front plays it when someone points their phone at it. Birthday wishes, holiday greetings and thank-yous stay on the card instead of getting lost in a camera roll.

Questions
Do people need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera, and it opens in the browser. It works on iPhone and Android.
Does it need a QR code?
Yes. The QR code opens the page, then the camera recognizes the photo itself. Put the code on a sticker on the back, or in a corner of the front, so the design stays clean.
How long can the video be?
Up to 40 seconds.
Can each card play a different video?
Each video needs its own picture. Copies of the same design all play the same video. For a personal video per person, use a different photo on each card, at one credit each.
Can I change the video later?
Yes, anytime and free. The QR code and the print stay the same.
How much does it cost?
One credit makes one live print: one design connected to its video, however many copies you print, with unlimited views. See pricing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes: 14 days free with 5 credits, so you can make 5 live prints. No credit card required, and nothing is charged when the trial ends.
