Smilebox makes it easy to connect with friends and family in a more creative and compelling way. Unlike other solutions that focus on organizing, editing, and sharing photos or sending pre-packaged ecards, the Smilebox online service enables users to create something truly powerful by choosing from hundreds of unique multimedia designs, easily personalizing them with their photos, video, music, words, and style, and then sharing them via email, blog, or print.
