Introduction

Exporting an AI Character Card is a practical step for sharing, archiving, or integrating a character profile into other projects. A character card collects the essentials of an AI's identity, behavior, and constraints in a compact format. When you export, you preserve this profile in a portable form that can be opened, reviewed, or imported elsewhere. This guide walks you through the typical export process for AI Character Cards on keoby.org, with clear, actionable steps you can apply even if the exact interface varies slightly.

Before you export

Before you hit the export button, take a moment to review what you are sharing and how it will be used. Consider the following:

  • Finalize the card content: confirm the character name, personality traits, core prompts, step by step routines, and any safety constraints. A well-polished card reduces back-and-forth later.
  • Check privacy and licensing: determine whether the card includes sensitive or proprietary prompts, and decide whether the export will be shared publicly, kept private, or restricted to a specific audience.
  • Decide what to include: some exports carry data only, while others offer media, prompts, or notes. Decide if you want a data-only export for re-importing, or a full copy that includes prompts and media.
  • Pick your preferred formats in advance: JSON is handy for developers and tools, PDF is good for humans to read, and image formats capture a visual snapshot of the card for quick sharing.

Export formats

Different formats suit different needs. Here are common options you may encounter or consider on keoby.org:

  • JSON: A data‑oriented export that preserves the card’s fields in structured form. Useful for re-importing into another project or tool.
  • PDF: A readable document that captures the card layout and content in a stable, shareable format for presentations or review.
  • PNG or JPEG: An image capture of the card, which is convenient for quick sharing on slides or social platforms.
  • SVG: A scalable vector image option if you want a crisp, resizable card image.
  • Shareable link or embed code: Some platforms provide a link or embed snippet to include the card in other pages or apps. If you plan to publish online, this can be handy while keeping the original card in your workspace.

Step-by-step: exporting an AI Character Card

Here is a straightforward workflow you can adapt to your platform:

  1. Open the card you want to export. Make sure you are viewing the most recent version.
  2. Locate the export, download, or share control. This is often labeled Export, Download, Share, or similar.
  3. Choose your format. If you plan to reuse the data elsewhere, JSON is a strong choice. If you need a human-friendly version, PDFs are a good option. For quick visuals, pick a PNG or SVG.
  4. Set optional export options. Depending on the format, you may be able to:
    • Include or exclude prompts, system messages, or constraints.
    • Attach an avatar or media associated with the card.
    • Select the level of detail or the fields to export in a data format.
    • Choose image resolution or page size for a PDF.
  5. Initiate the export. The system will generate a file or a link for download.
  6. Save the file to a secure location and name it with a consistent convention (for example, CardName_Version_Date).
  7. If the platform offers a shareable link, copy it and share it with the intended audience, or embed it where appropriate.

If you need to import the card later, keep the exported file organized in a repository or project folder that mirrors how you will use it. This makes re-importing smoother and reduces the risk of data mismatch.

After export: using your export

How you use the export depends on the format chosen:

  • JSON: Open the file in a code editor or import it into a compatible tool or project. Verify that the keys and values align with the target system’s expectations. You may need to map fields during the import.
  • PDF: Use the document as a reference for stakeholders, or include it in a project brief, proposal, or training materials.
  • PNG/JPEG: Drop the image into slides, reports, or marketing collateral. If you need higher quality for print, a vector format such as SVG or a high‑resolution PNG is preferable.
  • SVG: This is ideal for editing in vector graphics software, should you want to customize colors or layout for branding purposes.
  • Shareable link: Use the link to provide access without distributing a file. Ensure access permissions reflect your privacy and licensing choices.

Regardless of format, preserve a copy of the original card in your workspace. Keeping a master version helps ensure consistency across exports and makes future updates easier.

Troubleshooting common issues

  • Export fails or is slow: check your internet connection, browser permissions, and any file size limits. If the platform reports an error, try a different format to isolate the issue.
  • Output appears incomplete or missing fields: verify which fields are included in the export and whether the destination system requires a specific schema. Re-export with adjusted settings if needed.
  • Image quality is disappointing: for image exports, adjust the resolution or choose a vector format if available. If exporting as an image from a layout, ensure the source card uses high-quality assets.
  • Access or permission problems: confirm you are logged into the account that owns the card and that sharing permissions permit export. If a team or workspace policy restricts exports, check with the administrator.

Conclusion

Exporting an AI Character Card is a practical, repeatable step that helps you share, reuse, and preserve your character profile with clarity. By choosing the right format, verifying content, and keeping your exports organized, you can integrate AI characters into documents, presentations, and tools with confidence. Whether you are collaborating with teammates or preparing a client presentation, a thoughtful export makes the character card easy to understand and reuse across contexts.
