Write my letter, freeFree forever · Photos included · Up to 50 years · No account
Partly. On FutureMe.org a basic text letter is free, but images are part of the paid Premium plan and you need to create an account and verify your email before you can send anything. That is why so many people search for "future me free": they want the whole thing free, photo included, in two minutes.
Here, everything you need to send a letter to your future self is free: the letter, one photo, the date up to 50 years ahead and the delivery. No account, no card.
FutureMe made the idea of emailing your future self famous, and for many people it is the first site they try. The most common reasons people look for something else are simple: they want to add a photo without paying, they do not want to create an account just to send one letter, or they want to write to someone else without signing up.
LetterToTheFuture was built around exactly those three things. You write, you pick a date up to 50 years ahead, you attach a photo if you want, and the letter arrives on that day. No password, no paywall for pictures.

EmailToFuture is another popular option. Its free plan delivers up to 10 years ahead with up to 5,000 characters, and attachments, more recipients and longer letters come with a paid Premium capsule. It also lets you import letters from FutureMe, which is handy if you have many there.
If what matters most to you is a long horizon, a free photo and not having to sign up, LetterToTheFuture is the simplest of the three. If you already have dozens of letters on another site, there is no need to move them: you can keep both.
Pick a date, write a few honest lines, add a photo if you like. We keep it encrypted and deliver it on the day you chose.
