#ALL MTG CARD IMAGES HOW TO#
To see how to install and use them, refer to the links below: There are multiple developer SDKs available. To chat with other developers and discuss the API and SDKs, check out the Discord Server!
There are multiple SDKs available to make it even easier to consume the API. To use the API endpoints, the format is as follows: All API access is performed over HTTPS and accessed from the domain. Shandalar does not recognize some of the non-English characters officially used in these card names, and will show no artwork for these cards if the files are renamed.Welcome to the Magic: The Gathering API! You can use the API to access Magic: The Gathering API endpoints, which can get information on cards and sets. Please note: Some of the file names in the 'CardArtShandalar' folder do not conform to the officially listed card names. We suggest that personalized CardArt folders are not redistributed in the open forum for the simple reason that in the past this has led to a great deal of confusion as to which folders were available for the official updates. However, it is possible to manually rename the jpg image files so you can personalize which of the alternative artwork acts as the default image in the Deck Builder by simply swapping the file names of the default and chosen alternative image. When the current CardArt folders were first produced, any available alternative artwork for a card was collated from the earliest WotC MTG published artwork to the latest – this means the earliest released artwork has been set as the default image displayed in the Deck Builder. If you don’t follow these naming conventions, in some cases, where the images are randomly selected during game play, you may find a card will sometimes display no artwork. It is important when naming the jpg files that any erroneous spaces in the file name are removed, and the bracketed number sequence representing the total number of alternative images is preserved. Other characters must be replaced in the file name with a ‘_’ (underscore/understrike) character for each of the illegal characters used in the card’s name.įor example: the artwork file for the card ‘Life // Death’ would need to be renamed ‘Life _ Death.jpg’, with two underscore characters to replace each of the ‘/’ (slash/forward slash) characters shown in the card’s name.įor cards with alternative artwork available, like for instance ‘Circle of Protection: Black’, this would require the ‘:’ (colon) character in the name being replaced by an underscore, and the available alternative images being numbered in the following manner. Only unaccented letters, numbers, commas, spaces, apostrophes, and hyphens are legal in image file names. The default image is always identified by not having the number after its name. Īny available alternative artwork for a card should include a space at the end of the name with a following number in brackets to signify it as one of a number of alternative artwork files available to a card. The card image jpg files are named as shown in the ‘Full Names’ column of the Manalink.csv/xls file, and conform to the English language card names officially listed in the Magic Gatherer Card Database. Please consider this when searching for original card scans to produce suitable crops to include in the game. The best resource for suitable HQ card scans is our own CCGHQ Picture Forum. This makes card scans available from many of the MTG Card Collector/List web sites too small to produce reasonable quality crops for use within the game. Its worth pointing out that using an original cropped image much smaller than 288x232 to start with will result in visible compression artefacts when converted and viewed within the game.

(The author of these guidelines has no affiliation to XnView whatsoever… apart from it being an excellent free program.) :) The following parameters can be cut and pasted into a text editor and saved as an XnView.xbs script file to aid the conversion setup. This is purely to maintain the quality consistency of the images in the CardArt folders, whilst keeping the jpg files to a reasonable file size.
Regardless of the program used to do any editing a card scan may require (cropping, border removal, color correction, shadow/highlight balance, etc.) we ask that any edited card art should be resized to 288x232 with a final JPEG quality output setting of ‘60’ using Photoshop, or '91' using XnView.
