But many of us are not even aware of some of the necessary functions of ok.ru. That is why today we will tell you how to send a postcard to Odnoklassniki for free.

What are greeting cards

A postcard is a type of gift that you can send to your friend just like that or congratulate them on the holiday. Usually they are all divided into thematic categories and are great for a particular event.

Most often, such postcards can be bought for the Odnoklassniki currency (OKi), but there are also free ways. The owners of the site constantly delight us with such gifts and allow us to make pleasant surprises for their loved ones.

Musical postcards

So, you want to congratulate a loved one on his holiday, for example, happy birthday, but do not want to pay? Then either read ours or follow the instructions below.

  1. Open a browser and go to your page in OK. Then, in the left side column, click on the menu item.

  1. Now, in the same menu, select an item and find a suitable gift in the right half of the window. Make sure that “0 OK” is written under the picture - only such postcards can be sent for free.

Let's take a look at several ways in order to send a postcard to Odnoklassniki for free or by buying it for OKs, and you yourself decide which one suits you best.

In the message

Let's start by sending postcards in messages. This feature has appeared recently (at the time of this writing) and to use it, you just need to open a dialog with the desired user and select a picture. The list includes both free and paid ones. Only the recipient can see it.

So, in the top menu, click on the "Messages" button. Then select the desired user in the list on the left and click on it - a window for correspondence will open. In the text input field, click on the smiling face - "Smilies and stickers".

Next, select the first tab with a suitable name. The first picture will be free - 0 OK, all the rest from 1 Oka and above. If you are ready to pay, then use the search bar and find an image on a suitable topic: Birthday, New Year, March 8. Click on the selected one to send a postcard to a friend.

When a friend opens the chat, they will see a postcard, as shown in the screenshot below. By clicking on Play, he will be able to watch the animation.

From the section Gifts

Another option you can use is to find a card in the Gifts section and send it. If you pay, then its fragment will be shown on the avatar of the person you congratulate. If you need to send free postcards, then find the ones you need in the list, save to your computer, and then send a message to the right person (in this case, only the recipient will see them).

On the main profile page, in the menu under the profile picture, click on the "Gifts" item.

Select "Postcards" from the list on the left.

Find the one that you like and fit the meaning. Musical postcards are also on the list, they are not cheap, but they also look beautiful. By hovering italics over an image, its price will appear below it. When you decide, click on the selected one.

In the window that opens, select the friend to whom you want to send a greeting card.

Then see what its price is, and how many Shackles you have. If you want, it can be sent privately (the recipient will know who it is from) or secretly (no one will know who the postcard is from). Click on the Play icon to watch it. If everything fits, click "Submit".

Now I will tell you what to do if you do not want to pay. Find the postcard you like in the list and click on it. Then right-click on the image and select "Save As...".

On the left, select the folder on your computer where it will be saved. In the example, I specified "Desktop". You can rename the picture. "File type" does not need to be touched. Click Save.

After saving the postcard, it must be sent. To do this, go to messages, select a chat with the right person on the left, click on the paperclip and click on the “Video” item in the list.

Then you need to click the "Send video from computer" button.

On the left, open the same folder where you saved the image. Then find it in the area in the middle and select it with a mouse click. Click "Open".

Wait for the attached video to fully load. In the field for entering a message, you can write something, and then send a postcard - an orange button with a white airplane.

Although none of the users, except the recipient, will see the card you sent, the friend will be pleased. She looks beautiful, you can write some congratulation text from yourself. You can watch it by clicking on the play button.

Search for postcards in the Group

Beautiful postcards: musical, animated or video clips can also be found in the corresponding groups. Such images can either be sent for a fee so that it is displayed on the user's main photo, or for free - by saving it to the "Gifs" album, and then sending it in a personal message.

This method is very similar to that described in the previous paragraph, only there we looked for pictures in the corresponding section of the "Gifts", and here we will look for a suitable group.

On your page, under the main photo, click the "Groups" menu item.

If it suits you, you can “Join” it so that you don’t waste time looking for it in the future. If not, go back to the previous point and choose another one. Since all postcards are sorted by "Photo Albums", click on this item.

To show them all, click "Show more". Then select an album with a suitable theme and click on it.

Find an interesting postcard and click on the button with a gift on it - “Give a picture”.

Click on the right person.

Move italic over the picture and select the area that will be displayed on the friend's avatar by moving the markers - at the top right it will be shown how it will look. Pay attention to the price. You can send the picture privately. At the end, click "Gift".

After the recipient accepts the card, it will be visible to everyone on the main photo of his profile.

In order to send postcards for free, hover over the cursor you like and click on the plus sign in the left corner - "Add GIFs to Album".

Now you need to open this album. In the menu under the profile picture on your page, select "Photo".

Click on the album with the name we need.

Find the added image in it and click on it with the mouse.

When it opens in view mode, you can add a description to it, and then click "Get Link".

The field you clicked on will turn blue and a link to the image will appear. Right-click on it and select "Copy" from the menu.

Open a dialogue with the person you want to congratulate, put italics in the message field, then right-click on this field and select "Paste".

After the image is loaded and its thumbnail is shown, select the link, right-click on it and click "Delete".

Your friend will receive it in this form - a wish at the top and the picture itself.

Clicking on an image will open it in full screen.

Sending an image saved to a computer

Well, the last way that we will consider is to search for a greeting card on the Internet, save it to your computer, then add it to your profile. At the same time, you can mark on it the one you want to congratulate, and create a note with an image that all friends will see. This method is free and the user will receive a notification that you have marked him in the photo. You can send any postcard, congratulating a person on any holiday: Easter, New Year, birthday, angel's day and others.

So, search the Internet for a suitable image. For example, I opened Yandex.Pictures, wrote in the search bar the theme of the holiday (happy birthday) and chose the one I liked. Here is the link: https://yandex.ua/images/search?text=happy %20%20birthday (copy it and paste it into the address bar of your browser).

Wait for it to load. Next, we will make a note with it, write a congratulation in it and mark a friend in the image. Type your note text in the top field. Click on the pencil, which is in the picture at the bottom left, and select "Tag friends" from the list.

Click the mouse in the place where the mark should be, and select a friend from the block that appears. Then click "Finish".

By the way, this method is suitable if you want to congratulate several friends at once. For example, there will be a greeting card for the New Year. Tag several users on it, and they will receive your congratulations.

The person you tagged on the postcard will receive a notification that you tagged them and will be able to view the photo. If he also comments on it, for example, says thank you, then the postcard will also appear in the discussions.

What happened as a result: you marked the user in the picture, he will know about it through notifications, and it is automatically added to his page in the "Photo with me" album; it is seen by all your friends in their feed, and if the recipient comments on it, then, having appeared in the discussions, all his friends will also be able to see it.

Congratulating a user on Odnoklassniki who is on your friends list is quite simple. Choose one of the methods described, and you can send him a postcard for any holiday.
