About Cards

Cards turns plain text into a set of social media slides. You paste a quote, a thread, or a draft, pick a format, and export PNG cards for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and Stories. Your words stay as you wrote them. No AI rewrites your copy.

Cards is made by Dani Polani at Tiny Gods Studio, where we build small focused tools that turn rough ideas and manual work into something clear to use.

The idea started in 2025. I write fantasy, and I wanted to post short micro-stories on Instagram as cards. I draft everything in Obsidian, so the text was ready, but turning a story into slides was the hard part. Even a small story runs long, and a visual editor made it slow: change the wording anywhere and every card after it has to be redrawn by hand.

So I wrote a small Go script that took the text as input and drew the cards, splitting it across slides on its own. I posted about it on Twitter (I still don’t want to call it X), and a few people asked for the same thing. Walking non-technical writers through a command-line script did not work for most of them, so I decided to build a visual version anyone could open. That became Cards.

The same preference shows up in how I build. AI can produce a general version of a page fast, but I still open the stylesheet and move things by hand to get it right. The first draft is the easy part. The fine control is where the result is won, and that is the part I wanted Cards to make quick.

Paste your text and Cards splits it into slides. You can let it split automatically or mark the breaks yourself. The preview matches the exported image, so what you arrange is what you get. The editor and PNG export are free, and you can use them without an account.

An account saves your projects so you can reopen them later. Cards Pro adds saved styles, an asset library, per-card editing, multi-format export, and Buffer publishing.
