Like the title says, Is there a way to increase the size of the card images?

    What do you mean by this? Do you mean to export higher-resolution images, with larger pixel counts?

    Correct, the ones I download seem to be 375x523 and I was wondering if there was something I as missing to, as you say, export higher-resolution images, with larger pixel counts.

    That might be tricky; the code used in the current version of the site is pretty archaic (something that's greatly slowed the updating process), and originally when the site was made, there was a concern about people making proxies and trying to swindle people, as silly as it sounds.

    I'll look into it, but it might prove a task.

    I just took a look at the source code, and published cards have that as their resolution. I was able to get larger (though not as clean but cleaner than just inflating) images by zooming and screenshotting. I'll check what previews have to do with this!

    What are you trying to use these images for? The answer to that may influence what next steps I'd recommend.

    Howdy! I'm new around these parts, and had a question that might tangentially be related to this post from (sigh) six months ago. I'm making a custom set of cards for the characters in a Strixhaven campaign I'm running, with the ultimate goal being to get them printed and send a set to each of my players as a Christmas gift. To do that, I would ideally want higher-quality images of the cards than what Cardsmith outputs as a default. Is there a way to get those higher-resolution images (I think DriveThruCards wants 825 × 1125) here? Or would I need to use a different site to get my desired result?

    I am not an expert, but I think I heard somewhere that the images are kept intentionally low-resolution so you can't make realistic fake magic cards with them. Forgery is illegal.

    @BocookGaming try MTG Design for higher res
