Send a letter without a printer

You need to mail a letter but:

• You don't own a printer
• Your printer is out of ink or broken
• You're traveling or working remotely
• You're at home but don't have supplies
• You just don't want to deal with it

Any of these? Upload a PDF and we handle the physical part.

From a digital document:
If your letter is in Word, Google Docs, Pages, or any text editor:

• File → Export/Save As → PDF
• File → Download → PDF
• File → Print → Save as PDF

From a paper document:
If you have a physical letter or form you need to mail:

2. Tap the camera icon → Scan Documents
3. Capture each page
4. Save → Share → Save to Files as PDF

Android:

1. Open Google Drive app

The result is a PDF file you can upload directly to PostalForm.

Lighting matters — Natural light or bright indoor lighting. Avoid shadows across the page.

Keep it flat — Place the document on a flat surface. Hold your phone parallel to the paper.

Include margins — Make sure the entire page is visible with some margin around it.

Check readability — Before saving, zoom in and make sure text is sharp, not blurry.

Combine pages — For multi-page documents, scan all pages into one PDF before uploading.

• A PDF file (created or scanned)
• The recipient's mailing address
• A sender/return address
• A few minutes

That's it. No printer, paper, envelopes, stamps, or trip to the post office.

First Class (3–7 business days) — Standard for most letters

Express (1–3 business days) — For time-sensitive mail

Certified Mail — Adds tracking and signature confirmation, available with First Class. Learn about Certified Mail

• Traveling — Mail from your hotel or anywhere with internet
• After hours — No need to find an open store or post office
• Time-sensitive — Upload, checkout, done. No errands.
• Regular correspondence — Easier than maintaining printer supplies

• You need to include physical items (checks, photos, etc.)
• The recipient requires an original ink signature (rare, but some do)
• You're mailing something you can't convert to PDF

For most letters, forms, and documents, a PDF works fine.

Upload your PDF and we'll handle printing and USPS delivery.
