e-card

Stampless birthday message

An e-card is a digital greeting card sent electronically, typically via email or social media.

E-cards emerged as alternatives to paper cards for birthdays, holidays, and other occasions: I sent her an e-card for her birthday since the mail wouldn't arrive in time.

They range from simple animated images to elaborate multimedia presentations, often free or low-cost compared to physical cards.
