Card Forger is in beta

Some features and synchronized data formats may still change. You may encounter bugs or incomplete behavior, so keep backups of important workflows while development continues.

Quick answers and practical tips for using Card Forger.

  1. Library: choose a workflow

    Open Library to install or open a workflow. Some built-in workflows are refreshed automatically when their catalog version changes. Other catalog workflows already installed in your browser are reused rather than overwritten.

  2. Forge: author workflows

    Open Forge to build reusable card workflows from connected nodes. Input nodes define controls shown in Create, and Output nodes define the cards a workflow can produce. Forge can import and export workflow bundles.

  3. Create: run a workflow

    Open Create, choose a workflow, fill in its exposed Inputs, and select the active Output when the workflow has more than one. The preview updates from those values.

    Export the active card as a PNG, or save its workflow reference, Input values, and Output choice to Collection. Create drafts are saved only in the current browser.

  4. Collection: save cards

    Collection stores cards created from workflows. A saved card re-evaluates its workflow with the saved Input values and Output choice, so a workflow update can change every Collection card that uses it.

    If a workflow or selected Output is removed, the card is unavailable until updated. Export one card as PNG in Create, or download a Collection as a ZIP of PNG files.

  5. Export: download files

    Exports are generated and downloaded locally: Create exports one PNG, and Collection exports a ZIP containing PNG files. Card Forger does not generate PDF files, print sheets, DPI controls, or crop marks.

    See the Export and Print Guide for practical steps when using exported PNG files in separate printing software.

  6. Storage and sync

    Guests store workflows, assets, Collection data, and drafts only in their current browser. Signed-in users can sync workflows, assets, and Collection data across devices. Create drafts remain local to each browser, and downloaded exports are never synced by the export process.

  7. FAQ

    Q: Does a Collection card update when its workflow changes?

    A: Yes. Collection saves the selected workflow, Input values, and Output choice, then re-evaluates the latest workflow whenever the card is displayed.

    Q: Can I reopen an exported PNG as an editable card?

    A: No. PNG exports are images and do not contain embedded Card Forger workflow data.

    Q: Can I use my cards commercially?

    A: Yes, only if you own or have appropriate commercial rights and licenses for all assets and content. Included third-party fan assets do not grant those rights.
