What you can do from your laptop
Create your letter directly in MappyMail's browser editor or upload a one-page or multi-page PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, or HEIC image.
MappyMail handles printing, envelope preparation, postage, and mailing, so you can send from a laptop, Windows PC, Mac, or desktop computer without using your own printer.
Don't know the street address?
Find the location visually and click the map. Review the address returned for that destination, add any unit information if needed, and continue.
When MappyMail may not be the right choice
MappyMail is designed to make sending one physical letter simple and convenient. Another communication method may be a better fit if your message is better suited for email, you need your message delivered the same day, or you do not know the recipient's mailing address or where the recipient is located on a map.
If your message deserves the presence of a physical letter, MappyMail is designed to make sending one as simple as possible.
