The tavern's tools — free, and in your browser.
Small, sharp utilities for people who write and ship character cards. No signup, no account — and your card is parsed right in your browser, never uploaded. Built by the same people building tavernai.cards.
The tools
Two for now. Each does one job, and tells you exactly what it changed.
Character Card Converter
Use it when a card won't load in your client, or you're moving between Chub, Risu and SillyTavern.
Translate V1 ↔ V2 ↔ V3, embed or extract the PNG tEXt chunk, export .charx — with a per-field report of exactly what each conversion keeps or drops.
Open the converter →Lorebook Trigger Debugger
Use it when your persona ignores its lore — entries that should fire, don't.
Drop in a card and a sample chat; see which lorebook entries activate, which don't and why, and where your token budget actually goes.
Open the debugger →Conversion routes
One page per journey — each preselects the right target format and walks the exact steps.
Common workflows
The two tools are meant to be used together. Two paths people actually walk.
Move a Chub card into RisuAI
- 1Download the card from Chub — it arrives as a V2 PNG.
- 2Run it through the Converter to V3 (.json or .charx); the report tells you if any assets or fields would drop.
- 3Import the V3 file into Risu. (This is the exact round-trip we hardened so V3 cards stop bouncing off RisuRealm.)
Diagnose a lorebook that won't fire
- 1The card loads fine, but the character never uses its lore.
- 2Paste the card and a real snippet of the conversation into the Lorebook Debugger.
- 3Read which entries fired and why the rest didn't — usually scan-depth, key boundaries, or priority ties — then fix and re-export with the Converter if the format needs to change.
