photo stories / 6-second example
Animated postcard demo
A postcard turns into place with stamp, address rules and a photo window.
MAKE IT YOURS
Build this kind of shot
Use a travel photograph or landscape that reads well inside the postcard window. A place name works as the headline, with a short personal note in the small print.
- Open the Animated postcard editor and replace the sample content using its available controls.
- Adjust the layout, colours and timing. Preview the full motion before downloading.
- Export your result and add it to your video timeline.
Before you export
Is Paper Animators free to try?
Editing and previews are free. A free account includes 3 lifetime 720p video exports without watermarks. Unlimited plans add 1080p exports. See current plans and export limits.
Which format can I download?
Video exports use MP4 when supported by the editor and browser, with WebM available as a fallback. Check the export options in your chosen editor. An MP4 file does not have a transparent background; use the available green-screen option when you need to key out a background.
Can I use my own images and words?
Replace the samples wherever the editor supports custom content. Use media you own or have permission to use. Sample names, posts, maps and numbers are illustrative, not factual evidence. Read the export usage guide.
