Postcards

Four layouts - one large, two landscape, four square, and the panorama.

The Postcard is the classic telling: photos plus a short note, like the ones you used to send home - except this one stays. It comes in four cuts, all sharing the same editor:

LayoutBest for
One largeThe single photo that says it all, with your note beside it.
Two landscapeBefore-and-after, two views of the same day, side by side.
Four squareA little grid - the day in four glances.
PanoramaOne sweeping shot, edge to edge. The view that needed the whole window.

The editor

Everything is edit-in-place: click the title and the note to write them, tap any photo slot to pick from the library. The author credit is editable too - useful when you're telling someone else's day with them.

the Postcard editor
The Postcard editor: editable title and note, photo slots that open the library picker
Editing: a photo, a note, a name - all clickable.
the finished Postcard
The finished four-square postcard: Motorsports heaven, four photos beside the note
The outcome: the four-square cut, sent and kept.
Pick the layout when you create - the slot arrangement comes from the template you chose in All templates, so "one large" doesn't later become "four square". If the day outgrows its postcard, that's what Essays are for.
