Free animated Valentine's Day ecard: hearts floating around their name
A Valentine that moves: on Cardiboo, hearts float up around their name, a sweet little melody plays, then your love note appears, signed. It's free, no sign-up, and ready in under a minute.
To make them smile, put a real face, theirs or yours, on Kitty, Doggo or the Unicorn. The card goes out by text, WhatsApp or email and opens in the browser, straight from the link.
Free, no sign-up. Cards and photos delete themselves after 90 days.
How to make it, step by step
- Open the machine on “💘 Valentine's Day”: the button below does it for you (in the three weeks before February 14, it is even the first occasion offered).
- Type their name, then yours in “From”, so they know who it is from.
- The character, the scene and a sweet message are already picked: if you like them, tap “Ready: send it 🚀”.
- Want more? Tap “Customize”, then “📸 With a real head”: the photo is cut out on your phone and the face lands on the character.
- Pull the lever to change the hero (Kitty, Doggo, Unicorn, Pompom), the gag and the scene (starry night, beach, sunset). Write your message, or pull the little lever for one: funny, sweet, quirky or poetic.
- Send it by text, WhatsApp, email or with a link to copy: they open the envelope “Someone has a soft spot for you…” and the hearts take off.
What they receive
A message like “💘 Emma, a Valentine just for you 👉”, with a link. They tap it and see an envelope: “Someone has a soft spot for you…”, with your name on it. They open it, the scene plays with their name among the hearts, then your note appears, signed. A “💬 Reply on WhatsApp” button lets them answer you in one tap.
Valentine's Day message ideas
- “Happy Valentine's Day! With you, even Mondays feel like Sundays.”
- “I'd have sent you the moon, but it didn't fit in the link.”
- “Ten years, two kids, one mortgage, and I'd still pick you.”
- “You're the only person I share my fries with. Think about that.”
- “Far from my eyes, never far from my heart. Counting the days.”
- “To my best friend: thanks for being there, on the big days and the small ones.”
Out of ideas? The machine's little lever suggests a new message with every pull, in the tone you pick.
When to send it
Valentine's Day falls on Sunday, February 14, 2027. Send the card first thing in the morning to start their day with a smile, or the night before if you're far apart. In the US, it isn't only for couples: kids swap valentines with their classmates, and plenty of people send one to a friend, a parent or a grandparent.
In the machine, Valentine's Day comes first in the three weeks before February 14. Cardiboo never sends anything for you: make the card ahead of time, keep the link, and send it whenever you like.
Not just for couples
- For friends: the machine also has a friendship message (“Thanks for being there, in good times and the rest”). A card to your best friend or to a friend who is on their own that day means more than you'd think.
- To pop the question: with “💌 Special question”, they scratch the screen to reveal “Will you be my Valentine?”, and the “No” button runs away. It all works like the scratch-off proposal card.
- For laughs: their face on a character with the animated card with your photo, or a real prank with the funny ecard.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes: no account, no subscription, no payment. Only the messages written by AI are limited to 10 per day per device; after that, the machine offers unlimited “surprise messages”.
Can I send an anonymous Valentine?
The “From” field has to be filled in, but you can write “Your secret admirer”. Keep in mind that if you send the link by text or WhatsApp, your number still shows.
Do they need to install anything?
No. The card opens in the browser straight from the link, on iPhone, Android or a computer. It deletes itself after 90 days.
Can we both be in the card?
Yes: one face on the main character, plus up to four more faces that burst in at the end. The photo is cut out on your phone; only the small cut-out head is uploaded, and only if you send the card.
