FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what we get asked most. Still stuck? The contact page has a working email address.

Is Chat2Card free?

Yes. Every template, every export format and every resolution is available at no cost. There is no paid tier, no export watermark and no usage cap.

Does my content get uploaded anywhere?

No. Chat2Card has no backend service. Markdown parsing and image rendering both run inside your browser. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet — the extension continues to work normally.

Why does it need clipboard permission?

The core workflow is “copy something, then turn it into a card”. Clipboard read permission lets the extension pull in what you just copied with one click, and clipboard write permission lets it place the finished image back on your clipboard so you can paste it directly into WeChat or a document. The extension only reads the clipboard when you explicitly click the button.

Which browsers are supported?

Chat2Card is built for Chromium-based browsers — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and similar. A Firefox build is produced from the same codebase.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes. You own whatever you create with the tool. Chat2Card claims no rights over your content or the images you export. Do make sure you have the rights to the source material you paste in.

How do I split long content into several cards?

Insert a line containing only three dashes (---) wherever you want a break, then enable “Split on ---”. Each section becomes its own card, and “Export all” saves the complete numbered set in one go.

Does code get syntax highlighting?

Yes. Fenced code blocks are highlighted automatically, and the colour scheme adapts to whether the template is light or dark.

What image quality can I export?

You can choose 1×, 2× or 3× pixel density. 2× is a good default for social platforms; 3× is worth it for print or large displays.

Can I add my own template?

Not through the interface today. Templates are defined as sets of CSS variables in the source, so if you build from source you can add your own. A custom-template UI is something we are considering.

The clipboard button does nothing — what is wrong?

Browsers block clipboard reads when the page does not have focus. Click once inside the Chat2Card panel and try again. If your browser is still refusing, open the editor panel and paste manually with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V — that always works.
