Augmented Reality Cards
AR cards that make your video come alive in the recipient's hands
The world's only printed card service that links a real postcard to a personal video — viewable in augmented reality, in the browser, with no app to install.
An augmented reality card is a printed physical card that plays a video when the recipient points their smartphone camera at it. It looks like a normal postcard. It arrives in the mail like a normal postcard. But when you hold your phone up to it, the image comes alive — the video plays on top of the printed photo, right in the browser.
ARVideoCards is the only service in the world that lets you create and mail personalised AR cards from your own videos. You upload a clip, choose the frame to print, enter a delivery address, and we do the rest. The recipient gets a real card in their mailbox — and a moment they will not forget.
There is no app to download. No QR code to scan. No account needed for the recipient. The printed image itself is the trigger — a technology called Natural Feature Tracking (NFT) that locks the video to the exact pixels of the printed photo.
What people use AR cards for
Any video. Any occasion. Any address on Earth.
Birthday AR cards
Send a printed photo that plays your birthday message video when the recipient points their phone at it. More memorable than a text message. More personal than a generic e-card.
Travel AR cards
Mail an AR card from any destination in the world. The printed photo shows where you are — the video shows what it was actually like to be there.
Family memory cards
Turn a wedding clip, baby video, or holiday moment into a printed AR card that plays the memory forever. Phone storage fills up. A printed card does not.
Business AR cards
Send branded augmented reality cards for product launches, client gifting, and event follow-ups. Every recipient gets a physical card that plays your video — no app needed.
AR invitation cards
Make your event invitation stand out. An AR card arrives by post and plays a video preview of your event, venue, or personal message when held up to a phone.

Christmas, New Year, Eid, Diwali — any holiday becomes unforgettable when your card plays a personal video in augmented reality for everyone in the family.

Augmented reality cards — frequently asked questions
What is an augmented reality card?
An augmented reality card is a printed physical card that plays a video when viewed through a smartphone camera. ARVideoCards creates AR cards by printing a frame of your video onto a real postcard. When the recipient points their phone camera at the printed image, the full video plays on top of it — in AR, in the browser, with no app required.
How is an AR card different from a QR code card?
A QR code card requires the recipient to scan a code and then navigate to a link. An AR card works by simply pointing the camera at the printed image itself — there is no code to find or scan. The printed photo is the trigger. It feels magical rather than transactional.
Do AR cards need a special app?
No. ARVideoCards are browser-based. The recipient opens a short URL in any modern smartphone browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone), points the camera at the card, and the video plays. Nothing is installed.
How much does an AR card cost?
AR cards from ARVideoCards start at $2.50 for Switzerland delivery and $3.90 for worldwide delivery. Each card includes the printed postcard, the video link, and the augmented reality viewer.
Where are AR cards shipped?
ARVideoCards ships printed AR cards worldwide. You enter any delivery address during checkout — the card is produced on demand and mailed directly to your recipient.
