Choose the right kind of file
A JSON character file contains structured text data. A PNG character card can contain both an avatar and character metadata. An ordinary PNG picture is not necessarily a character card: it may have no embedded definition at all.
Keep a copy of the original file before you edit it. Use files from a source you trust, and do not install a browser extension just because an unknown download page says it is required.
Check the imported fields
- Open character creation and choose the import option in the avatar area.
- Select a compatible JSON file or PNG character card.
- Read the name, greeting, and personality that were filled in.
- Review tags, visibility, and any advanced fields rather than assuming they were imported correctly.
- Test a new conversation and adjust wording that still refers to a different setting or platform.
Move a definition, not an entire account
Importing a card does not transfer your subscription, account credentials, or a complete conversation history from another service. A character's writing style can also change when a different language model interprets the same definition.
Only import material you created or have permission to reuse. If you adapt someone else's character, respect the creator's sharing conditions and avoid presenting their original work as your own.
Questions
Can I import a Character.AI character into SpicyChat?
A compatible character definition can be imported as JSON or a metadata-bearing PNG card. You still need permission to reuse the material and should review fields after the import.
Why did importing a PNG only add a picture?
The file may be a normal image rather than a character card, or its embedded metadata may not match the supported format. A filename ending in .png alone does not prove that character data is present.
