Common questions
- Is the watercolor real or AI-generated?
- AI-rendered. We start with your photo and generate an original watercolor illustration of it — not a filter, not a template. Every render is unique to your photo. The result reads like real paint because the model is trained on watercolor specifically.
- Can I see the watercolor before I order?
- Yes. We render the watercolor first and show you a preview. If you don't like it, regenerate or pick a different style — no charge until you tap send.
- What other styles are there?
- Watercolor, cartoon, painterly, vintage, modern, whimsical, comic, and doodle — eight styles in all. Most people pick watercolor for sentimental cards (birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy) and cartoon or comic for fun ones.
- How much does it cost?
- $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card sent — everything included (custom watercolor render, envelope, stamp, USPS mailing). A premium retail watercolor-style card runs roughly $6–10 all-in (card $5–9 + stamp), so Pigeon Post is about 70% cheaper per card. Your first card is free.
- Will it actually look like a hand-painted card?
- Closer than you'd think. The model produces brush-stroke textures, paper grain, and the color bleed that real watercolor has. We print on a textured cardstock that adds to the illusion. People consistently mistake the print for an original painting.
- Can I send a watercolor card without subscribing?
- Your first card is free, no subscription required. After that, the $19.99/year membership unlocks unlimited sends at $1.78 each.
