Základní dělení pohlednic je na místopisné a námětové. Pohlednice dělíme podle vydavatelů, druhu tisku a velikostí na "malý" a "velký" formát.
Pohlednice je forma poštovní korespondence. Pohlednice má z jedné strany vyobrazený propagační materiál a z druhé místo pro psaný vzkaz. Pohlednice jsou převážně vyrobené z tvrdého listu papíru obdélníkového tvaru, ale vyskytují se i ve tvaru kruhu, trojúhelníku, či různorodých podob.
Za prvního vydavatele pohlednic se považuje rytec Desmainsons z Francie, který měl vyrobit první pohlednici v roce 1777. První reklamní pohlednice byla vydána v roce 1872 ve Velké Británii. První německá pohlednice je z roku 1874. Za zlatý věk pohlednic je považováno období 80. a 90. let 19. století a období 1. světové války ve 20. století.
