  • Pictacto is a fun and easy-to-use app that allows you to create, customize, and send digital cards to your friends, family, or any other contact— all by text message!

    Initially created with annual Christmas and holiday cards in mind, we built the Pictacto app to make sending and receiving cards as effortless as possible. While we appreciated the tradition and charm of mailing physical cards to loved ones each year, it was becoming increasingly difficult.

    From the time required to collect and maintain mailing addresses to the increasingly expensive cards, envelopes, and postage, sending holiday cards (or any others, for that matter!) began to feel more like a chore than a thoughtful way to spread cheer. And thus, the idea for Pictacto was born!

    Using the Pictacto app, you can spread joy effortlessly with customizable, themed card templates that are perfect for any holiday, birthday, celebration, or event— delivered instantly via text message to any contact!
