Write your alphabet once, on blank paper or a tablet, and we build two things from it: a font file you download and keep, and a pen-ready version our writing machines use to write real cards in your handwriting. The digitization is free either way. No credit card, no catch.
Get your handwriting as a standard TTF font file. Install it on your computer and type with it in documents, designs, emails, anything that uses fonts. It is yours to keep, free, forever.
We also build a pen-machine version of your handwriting that a font file cannot do. Our writing machines hold a real ballpoint pen and write each card stroke by stroke on premium cardstock, then we stamp and mail them for you. Cards from $6.
YES, ACTUALLY FREE
Handwriting digitization services routinely charge hundreds of dollars for this. We do it free. From one writing sample we create your downloadable TTF font file and the pen-machine format our writing robots use to physically write cards, so you can type in your handwriting today and put real ink on real paper whenever you want.
It captures the way you actually write: your letter shapes, your spacing, your quirks. Not a generic script font with your name on it. Yours.
Print our free template, write out your letters in your normal handwriting with any pen, and snap a photo or scan it. Our system reads each character, cleans it up, and builds your font automatically. Most people finish in under ten minutes.
Have an iPad or drawing tablet? Write your letters directly on screen with your stylus. No printer, no scanning, no photo glare. Your strokes go straight into the font builder exactly as you drew them.
Watch every stroke written with a real ballpoint pen in your handwriting font.
1
Create an account and navigate to the Font tab on your dashboard to create a new font. Fill in the template on paper or write directly on your tablet. Uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and punctuation, all in your everyday handwriting.
2
Our system detects and separates each character, sizes and aligns everything, and assembles a working font in minutes. You can preview it and fine-tune any letter before you finish.
3
Download your TTF file to type with on screen, have our pen machines write and mail real cards in your handwriting, or both. The font is yours free either way.
Your handwriting is one of the most personal things you own. Services that digitize it charge hundreds of dollars and keep the process behind a paywall. We give it to you free, because we think once you see your own handwriting typed on a screen, you will want to see it written with a real pen.
WHY WE DO THIS
Thankyou.cards is a handwritten card service. Your font is not just for your screen. Our writing machines hold a real ballpoint pen and physically write every card in your handwriting font, stroke by stroke, on premium 350gsm cardstock. Real ink you can feel. A real stamp. Mailed for you.
Type your message once and send one card or five hundred. Wedding thank-yous, client closings, donor gratitude, or a note to your grandmother. Every recipient gets a card that looks and feels like you sat down and wrote it, because in every way that matters, you did.
Cards start at $6, written in pen, stamped, and mailed. Your font stays free either way.
Grab a pen or your stylus and write your alphabet once. Type with your font on screen, or let a real pen write your cards on real paper. Both start in the same place.
