Free eCards and Greeting Cards

Delivr might just be the biggest free ecards site on the internet with over 6,000,000 images* to choose from. If you want something a bit more unique than your average animated clip art then browse all the images on Delivr and create your own personalized greeting card.

How-to: Select an image from the most popular displayed on the home page, navigate through the categories below or search all images to create unique free ecards. Just click on the image and fill in the fields to send your e-card.

Do you use Flickr? If so, why not make it easy for people to send your Flickr images as an ecard? Just copy and paste the code below into the image description field. When people click through we'll automagically turn your picture into an e card. Try it...

Because we filter out images with a No-derivs license you are free to use any of these images to create free ecards and personalize them with your own message.

Thousands of new images are uploaded on a daily basis so the number of images available is growing quickly. Check back whenever you need to send an ecard and see what's new.

It is generally thought that the modern history of ecards started on Valentines Day 1996 when Infobahn and Sony both offered a web based Valentine greeting card service much like the type we are familiar with today. eCards to this day are most commonly of the type where the recipient doesn't get a card in their email but rather a notification that someone has sent them a card and a link through to the web site where the greeting card was created and is hosted. The benefits of this type of approach are to limit the size of the emails sent and so bandwidth consumed. These types of card also allow for the use of rich media such as flash and animated images. The disadvantage is that the engagement is not instant and it introduces security issues that are well known and have on occaision been famously exploited.

Delivr takes a different approach by generating your ecard and actually displaying it right in the email. This means the pay off is immediate and it doesn't require the recipient to click through anywhere to view the card...it's kind of like an electronic postcard. This approach also has the benefit of removing the security issues associated with phishing and such like. Our cards do include a couple of links, one to the original of the image used and the other to delivr, but the user doesn't have to click on either of these to view the ecard, so in many ways Delivr is more secure :)
