PhotoCard: Photos to Cards

Every photo you take can become a one-of-a-kind collectible card.

PhotoCard turns your everyday photos into trading-style cards — complete with element types, battle stats, and rarity grades. Snap a photo of your cat, your lunch, a flower on your walk… and see what card it becomes.

■ HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a photo from your gallery
2. On-device AI analyzes the subject, colors, and photo quality
3. Your card is revealed — type, stats, and grade included
4. Keep it in your collection and grow your card book

The same photo always creates the same card — every card is deterministic and truly yours. Better photos earn better grades, so sharper, brighter, well-composed shots can reach the top tiers.

■ CARD SYSTEM
• 8 element types inspired by the five classical elements, each with its own strengths
• Three battle stats — Power, Defense, Agility — derived from what's in your photo
• 5 rarity grades from NORMAL to MYTHIC, judged by photo quality
• Grade-specific card frames: holographic shimmer, gold trim, and rainbow holo for top grades
• Automatic subject cut-out: your subject pops on a color-matched studio background

■ COLLECT & PROGRESS
• Card book with type filters, best-card badges, and collection tracker
• Weekly missions with shard rewards
• Shard shop: spend shards on extra appraisals and premium frames
• Disassemble duplicate cards into shards — bulk disassembly supported
• Seasonal banners and category recommendations to guide your next shot
• Weekly global rarity: how rare your card is updates with what the whole world is photographing

■ Battle
• Build a deck of 3 appraised cards and duel other players' decks
• Slot order IS the matchup — your slot 1 faces their slot 1
• 8-element counters (x1.2 / x0.8) decide rounds, replayed strike by strike
• No cards yet? Start with a practice duel — the House lends what you're missing (no rewards)
• Get notified when your deck successfully defends

■ ENHANCE & MAINTAIN
• Enhance appraised cards from +1 to +9 with enhancement films — frame shimmer, engraving and titles unlock as you go
• Enhancement never changes grade or battle stats, so nobody can pay to win
• Deck guard wears down in rewarded battles and recovers over time; repair kits from the shop speed it up

■ FEED
• Appraised cards appear in the public feed under an anonymous nickname — like, comment and discover what others are collecting
• Get notified when someone likes or comments on your card
• Report inappropriate posts; repeatedly reported cards are hidden automatically

■ PRIVACY FIRST
Your original photos never leave your device — all analysis runs fully on-device. Only anonymous card data (analysis numbers and a perceptual hash, no photos) is sent for server appraisal and the global rarity table. The small cut-out card art (not your photo) is uploaded only with your consent: the optional cloud backup when you turn it on, and the public feed only after you agree at your first appraisal — people cards are never shared. Creating and keeping cards needs no account; sign-in is only required for appraisal tickets, purchases, battles and feed activity. You can delete your account and all server data from Profile at any time.

■ FREE TO PLAY
Create and collect cards for free every day with the daily keep limit. Optional in-app purchases (point packs) are available.
