How it works
Short version: we do not store anything. Your cards live in your own browser, and Export is how you keep them safe or move them.
Where your cards are kept
- Everything you make (cards, settings and the images you add) is saved only in the browser you are using, on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and there are no accounts.
- That means we cannot see your cards, and we cannot recover them for you either.
- Your cards will be gone if you clear your browsing data or site data, use a private/incognito window, or switch to another browser or device. Some browsers also clear storage for sites you have not visited in a while.
Export: your backup
- Export (top right of the card maker) downloads one file named like
heroclix-cards-2026-09-21.json. - That single file contains every card, your print settings and all the images you added.
- Export after every session where you changed something you would hate to redo.
Import: restore or move
- Import loads an exported file back in. Use it to restore after clearing your browser, or to move your cards to another computer or browser.
- Import replaces the cards currently in the maker with the ones in the file (it asks first). It does not merge.
- An export file is plain JSON. You can share it with a friend so they get the same cards, artwork included.
