The Problem

Your customers want to use your deck — not just look at it.

Right now, independent oracle and tarot creators have no good way to give customers an interactive digital experience. A PDF shows your cards. A generic tarot app uses someone else’s art. Custom development costs thousands. So most creators offer nothing — or a static PDF and hope for the best.

Without the Generator

A PDF. At best.

  • — Static images, no interaction
  • — Customers scroll — they can’t draw or pull cards
  • — No card flips, no spreads, no readings
  • — Generic tarot apps use their own art, not yours
  • — Custom development costs thousands
  • — No branding, no shop link, no connection back to you
With the Generator

A real deck experience.

  • ✦ Draw a card with a flip animation and full reveal
  • ✦ Do a 3-card spread — Past, Present, Future
  • ✦ Browse the full deck in a gallery with meanings
  • ✦ Your art, your meanings, your branding throughout
  • ✦ One-time purchase — no developer, no subscription
  • ✦ Your shop link in the footer, every single time they use it

The Output

Everything your customers need to do a reading

The generator produces a single self-contained HTML file — that’s the deck app. Your customers download it, double-click it, and it opens in their browser. No installation, no account, no internet needed. Or host it online and share a link — it works in any browser, including on mobile.

✦ Optimized for decks of up to 40 cards — the sweet spot for a beautifully compact file size.

Inside every deck app:

  • Draw a Card — pulls a random card with a flip animation and full meaning reveal. Your customers can actually do a card pull with your deck.
  • 3-Card Spread — draws three cards for a full spread reading. Labels default to Past / Present / Future, or set your own.
  • Browse All Cards — a full gallery of your deck with hover details and a click-to-expand modal for each card meaning.
  • Home screen with a fanned card preview, your banner, and your branding front and centre.
  • Your accent color, card back, and shop link — the deck app looks like yours, not a template.
  • Works offline — Mac or PC, any modern browser, no internet needed.
  • Share anywhere — distribute as a download, or host online via your website, Google Drive, or Dropbox so customers can access it in any browser including mobile.

How It Works

Three steps from art to app

01

Prepare your card data

Create a simple CSV file with your card filenames, titles, and meanings. The generator includes a free companion tool that reads your image filenames and builds the CSV scaffold for you. Fill in your card meanings and you’re ready.

02

Fill in the generator form

Open the generator in your browser. Add your deck title, choose your accent color, upload your card back image, banner, and shop link. Upload your CSV and card images. The generator matches everything automatically.

03

Click Generate

The generator compresses your images, packages everything together, and downloads a single HTML file. That file is your finished deck app — ready to sell, share, or distribute as a digital download. Or host it online and share a link.

FAQ

Questions? Good.

Can I publish the deck app online?
Yes — because the deck app is a single self-contained HTML file, you can host it anywhere. Upload it to your website, share via Google Drive or Dropbox, or add it as a file download on Etsy, Gumroad, or any digital storefront. Customers with a link can open it directly in any browser including on mobile.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The generator is a form you fill in — deck title, colors, images, card data. Click Generate and it does the rest. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can use this.
What does my customer receive when I sell my deck app?
A single HTML file. They download it, double-click it, and it opens in their browser. No installation, no account, no internet needed. Works on Mac and PC in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Can my customers use it on their phone?
The deck app can’t be opened directly from a phone or tablet’s internal storage — it needs to be opened in a browser. The easiest workaround is to host it online via your website, Google Drive, or Dropbox and share the link. Customers can then open it in any mobile browser without issues. One link, any device.
Will the deck app stop working?
The deck app is a self-contained HTML file that runs entirely in your browser — there’s no server, no subscription, and no external service that can shut it down. As long as your customer has a modern browser, the deck app should work. We haven’t heard of HTML going anywhere anytime soon.
What image formats can I use?
PNG, JPG, and WEBP are all supported. All images are converted to JPEG on export — use solid backgrounds, as transparent PNGs will fill white.
Can I use the generator more than once?
As many times as you like. One purchase covers unlimited deck apps — regenerate with new settings, new cards, or a completely different deck whenever you need to.
How big will the output file be?
It depends on your card count and image sizes. A 10-card deck with illustrated art typically produces a file around 1–2MB. A 40-card deck might be 4–6MB. The generator compresses your images automatically and gives you a size estimate before you generate.
What’s the CSV file and do I have to make one?
The CSV is a simple spreadsheet with one row per card — filename, title, and meaning. The generator includes a free companion tool that reads your image filenames and builds the CSV structure for you. Fill in the titles and meanings, export as CSV, done. Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers all work.
Can I customize the colors and branding?
Yes. You can set a custom accent color, upload a banner image, upload a card back image, add your shop name and link, and customize the 3-card spread labels. The deck app looks like yours, not a template.
Do I need an internet connection to use the generator?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser using your local files. Once you have the generator files on your computer, no internet connection is needed.
Can I sell the generator itself?
No. Your license covers using the generator to create deck apps, which you can sell freely. The generator files themselves may not be resold, shared, or redistributed. See LICENSE.txt for full terms.
What if something goes wrong?
The generator displays specific error messages describing the issue. The included README covers the most common problems. For additional help visit designedbyjoelle.com/deck-generator.
