How to send your favorite iPhone picture on a postcard
We recently covered the launch of Postagram, an iPhone app that allows you to send your Instagram pictures as a postcard via snail mail. This simple guide will walk you through using both your Instagram pictures as well as the pictures stored in your iPhone's photo album with the Postagram app.Screenshot by Jason CiprianiThe first thing you will need to do is download Postagram from the App Store (iTunes Link).Screenshot by Jason CiprianiAfter Postagram is installed you will be presented with the home screen.

Simply login to Instagram authorization page in the app, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select yes. You will then be presented with all of the pictures you have uploaded to Instagram, select one. If you chose to use your iPhone's photo album, the next screen will present you with your photo album.

Apple does not allow vendors to sell physical goods using the App Store, thus your credit card information is required. After your credit card information is entered, press the order button. You will receive an order confirmation e-mail after your order is placed and another e-mail from Postagram once your postcard has been mailed. The postcard should arrive at the recipients door within 2-5 business days. Each postcard will set you back 99 cents.One side note, you can also order a postcard using Postagram's Web site, but keep in mind that only your Instagram photos are currently available for order through the Web site.
