Travel postcard trend: 5 prompts to try

The travel postcard trend puts you on a faded vintage postcard in front of a place you love, with the place name printed in big retro letters. Old print dots, soft colours and a white border make it feel like a card found in a drawer.

Why it's trending

Postcards are a charming way to share a trip, or a dream trip, without another plain selfie. The bold place name makes the picture easy to understand at a glance.

How to make it

  1. Pick a clear photo of yourself, or of everyone in the group.
  2. Choose a prompt above and type the place name in Customise.
  3. Copy the prompt, open ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, upload the photo and paste it.
  4. Check that the place name is spelled correctly and the faces still match.

Tips

  • Short place names in capitals spell correctly more often.
  • Use the place you actually visited, or clearly share it as a fun edit.
  • Ask for plain coloured letters if picture-filled letters get blurry.
  • Remove stamps and postmarks if they come out with random words.

Use photos with care

Use your own photo or photos of people who have agreed. The building or view will be an artistic version, not an exact picture of the real place, so don't use it as proof of a visit.

Questions

Can I add a message on the postcard?

The prompts keep only the place name to avoid spelling mistakes. Add a message later in a photo editor if you want one.

Will the landmark look exactly real?

Not always. Treat the scene as an illustration in the spirit of the place.

Is there a family or couple version?

Yes. One prompt is a couple on a mountain lake and one is a family in the desert dunes.
