Watch HeroQuest Card Creator in action
See the card editor, library workflow, and export flow in a short walkthrough before you open the app.
A card tool built for HeroQuest homebrew, not a general graphics editor.
HeroQuest Card Creator helps you make hero cards, monster cards, treasure cards, card backs, and printable decks without rebuilding the same template from scratch every time. It runs locally in your browser, keeps your work close at hand, and gives you a repeatable workflow for building consistent tabletop material.
If you want the practical walkthroughs, start with Getting Started, learn how decks work, review PDF export, or see how to back up and restore your library.
Built for real HeroQuest homebrew workflows
Start with HeroQuest-fit templates
Create front-facing and back-facing cards with layouts designed for HeroQuest-style cards, so you begin with the right structure instead of building every design from scratch.
Use rich card editing tools
Fine-tune artwork, adjust titles and colours, format rules text, insert inline dice, and handle template-specific details without fighting a general-purpose graphics package.
Build a reusable project library
Save named cards, manage reusable assets, organize collections, and filter larger projects so your homebrew work stays structured instead of turning into a folder of disconnected files.
Pair fronts and backs on purpose
Link separate front and back cards so the same back can be reused across export, browsing, and deck workflows instead of rebuilding two-sided card layouts by hand.
Build structured playable decks
Go beyond single-card design by building decks from groups, sets, quantities, and paired faces, so your finished content is organized for real tabletop use.
Export and protect the whole project
Generate PNGs, create duplex-aware deck PDFs for printing, and export a portable library backup so your cards, assets, collections, and decks can be restored later.
Built for HeroQuest fans creating real tabletop material
If you are writing new quests, treasure decks, equipment packs, monster abilities, spell systems, or larger fan expansions, HeroQuest Card Creator is designed to help you make cards that feel at home beside the original game components while still being quick to revise and scale up.
It is not a generic card template with a HeroQuest skin on top. It is a browser-based card tool built around the practical needs of HeroQuest homebrew work.
