Send a Letter Without a Printer in Minutes

Send a real physical letter in minutes without using your own printer. No account, envelope, stamps, or trip to the post office required.

MappyMail prepares, prints, and sends the physical letter through USPS. The recipient receives paper mail, not an email or electronic file.

Why You Don't Need a Printer

You create or upload the letter online. MappyMail handles the physical printing, envelope preparation, postage, and mailing, so you do not need to print the letter at home.

MappyMail sends real physical postal letters. It is not an email service, electronic file-sharing service, or package-shipping service.

Type a Letter or Upload a Document

Type your letter directly in MappyMail, or upload a one-page or multi-page PDF, or a PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, HEIC, or HEIF image. Supported images are converted for printing during the upload workflow.

If your letter is only on paper, scan it to PDF first using a phone or computer. The related scanning guides below explain that process without turning this page into a scanning tutorial.

Use MappyMail From a Phone or Computer

Open MappyMail in a modern browser on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. For device-specific instructions, use the related phone or laptop guide below.

Know the Address or Only the Location?

Know the mailing address? Enter it.

Don't know the mailing address or recipient's name? Find the physical location and click the map. The recipient's name is not required for the location-based workflow. MappyMail does not identify or verify a property owner, occupant, resident, employee, or other person associated with the location.

When MappyMail May Not Be the Right Choice

If you need to ship a package, print a shipping label, or mail an original physical item, MappyMail is not the right service. MappyMail is for physical letters created from supported digital documents.

  • Original physical items cannot be mailed through an upload workflow.
