Faded ink. Bent corners. A smile that feels more like a warning. The Vintage Postcard Photo Effect PSD takes your clean visuals and buries them in mid-century charm laced with quiet unease.
This is the golden age of forced cheer, where every photo came with a chipper caption and a haunting sense of detachment. The effect adds soft paper grain, washed-out halftone patterns, light color fading, and subtle texture that makes your image feel like it’s been sitting in a shoebox since 1957.
Just drop your artwork into the Smart Object and watch it transform into a visual memory no one quite remembers creating. Perfect for retro-core posters, surreal branding, experimental album covers, or anything that needs to feel a little too perfect, like the kind of image you’d find in a thrift store and quietly put back. The Vintage Postcard Photo Effect PSD is nostalgia with teeth.
