PipGlyph is a free, browser-based workshop for designing, sharing, and remixing custom Magic: The Gathering-style cards — and for turning them into playable decks. It began as a card creator with precise mana pips and grew into the whole loop: design a card in a live-preview editor, publish it to a community gallery, build a deck around it, print proxies, and playtest. It is a fan-made tool, not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
Principles
- Originality first. We do not use proprietary card frames, fonts, set symbols, or trademarked names. Every visual element shipped with PipGlyph is original to the project, measured against real printings so it looks right without copying them.
- Creators own their work. Cards are structured data — not just rendered images — so you can edit, remix, export, and move your designs without lock-in.
- Sharing without surrendering.Visibility is per card and per deck: private, link-only, or public. We don't claim rights to your art or rules text.
- AI is a power-up, not the product. The AI drafts a field, a card, an art piece or a whole deck when you ask it to, and never overwrites anything without an explicit apply.
What ships today
- A step-by-step card creator with a live preview — every card type including sagas, adventures, split, aftermath and flip cards and double-faced backs; frames from three decades of card design; the full mana-symbol vocabulary plus your own uploaded pip icons; a printed set symbol of your choosing; and a foil or etched finish
- AI on demand: generate any single field, get three costed ideas for a theme, draft a whole card from a concept, restyle a card's art, or generate a full deck with a how-to-play guide
- Decks: import a decklist from the popular deck sites, remix real cards into custom versions, see the curve and color analytics, and print proxy sheets
- Scryfall import for remixing real cards, with lineage tracking
- Downloads: a watermarked PNG on every account; watermark-free high-resolution PNG and print-ready PDF on paid plans, and whole-deck proxy sheets on Pro
- A public gallery with search, likes, comments, and remixing
- Community design challenges with briefs, entry tags, and spotlights
- Profiles, a following feed, notifications, and light/dark themes
- A free plan with 5 AI credits to start, and Plus and Pro plans for monthly credits, clean downloads and a bigger card library — see pricing
What's next
Premium custom frames, card printing, and richer deck tools are in development. Releases are announced on the news page, and the guides grow alongside the product.
