When you're ready, you can share the video link and also a link to the card's "Flipbook" view, where they can see all the love and respect. You can download a full MP4 video and re-upload it to places like YouTube or Facebook or Instagram. You'll find links to these in your "My Cards" area.

HipHip is free! If you find it creates joy, we'd appreciate a tip in the tip jar. Servers and storage costs money. Or if you're stretched, that's fine too -- a simple shout-out on social media helps us spread the love.
