Yes you can. Are you 100% correct that your image has a ".png" extension?

Mhm.  I got my card with a .png too.

Also: It's really obnoxious to find the exact size needed for the image.  While I see this has it's purposes, I'll probably keep using the in browser method.

It's not that hard to do really, Glitch. If your image is too large, copy it into paint, crop out the section you want to use (start at the top left of the box you want to make), delete everything done so far, paste the cropped out piece, go to Image > Attributes, and you'll be able to change the size of the picture. Just say 256x256, save, and your done.

Resizing and image to 256x256 is VERY easy. If you don't know how to do that, I suggest you go learn it right now. Everyone should know these basic things about image editing.

Ignore all that and listen to me very carefully.

When you save do NOT save as myimage. You have to save as myimage.png. Otherwise you will get a file without an extension that will not work.

myfile <-  WRONG!
myfile.png <- CORRECT!

I do too know how to resize!  You simply load it into photoshop, crop it, and save it.  Then, you load it into Planplan's card maker, design your card, and save it again.  Don't forget to change the file extension to Jpeg, so you've saved it three times now?  Lastly, reupload the image using an image site, and copy the link.

Or.... just use the in browser method.  It allows you to crop, change file type, and upload to the internet ALL AT ONCE!

It's pretty amazing.

I'm not saying PlanPlan's card maker isn't useful.  Next time we have a contest to make a card based off of art, I'm going to use it instead of going the extra mile.  In fact, the only advantage to PlanPlan's thing is if you already have a 256x256 image in mind.  If you're basing the card off of an ability/idea, then it's just tedious =/
