MTG Art Seeker v0.4.0

If you have 0.3.0 installed, the app offers this update when it starts. Otherwise, download the installer for your system below, or from getmtg.art.

New

Send to Card Anvil

Card Anvil makes cards from art, and the app can now hand it the art it found. Card Anvil opens, or comes to the front, and asks which group of cards to put the art in, suggesting one named after your list, deck, search or preset. Each image becomes a card matched to its printing: a double-faced card's faces are a card each, and a split card's two halves are one card with both paintings.

• When a run finishes, press Send to Card Anvil, beside Open folder, to send all the art it saved.
• Right-click a card in the results and choose Send to Card Anvil to send just that card's art.
• Turn on Send each download to Card Anvil in the settings to send every run that saves art as soon as it finishes.
• Card Anvil learns where each image came from: MTGPics, Scryfall, or for art you found on the web, the site it was on, such as ArtStation, DeviantArt, Pixiv, Instagram or the artist's own website. A card scan you chose to save anyway arrives as a whole card, not as art.
• The app finds Card Anvil where its installer put it. To use another copy, choose it under Card Anvil in the settings; Use the installed one goes back.
• If Card Anvil isn't installed, or is too old to take art, the app says so and offers Get Card Anvil. If Card Anvil is slow to start, the app tells you once it has taken the art.

MTG Art Seeker v0.3.0

If you have 0.2.0 installed, the app offers this update when it starts. Otherwise, download the installer for your system below, or from getmtg.art.

New

MTG Art Seeker

MTG Art Downloader is now called MTG Art Seeker, and it has a new icon: a card frame around the picture and arrow.

• Updating replaces the old app instead of installing a second one beside it. Your settings, card data and the art you've found carry over.
• On macOS, an updated copy keeps its old name in Applications until you install it fresh.

A new title bar

On Windows and Linux, the app draws its own title bar. It holds the app's name and icon, the settings and colour mode buttons, and the window's minimize, maximize and close buttons. Drag any empty part of it to move the window.

• Settings and dialogs open below the title bar, so you can still move, minimize or close the window while one is open.

Also new

• The results show card and artist names in full instead of cutting them short with "…". When the window is too narrow, the table scrolls sideways.
• The results table no longer jumps while a run is going. Each image has its own line from the start, with a placeholder until its art arrives. A double-faced card gets two lines right away.
• The results show where each image came from above its size, as plain text.
• The window opens wider, so a typical list's names fit beside their buttons.
• The app uses the Inter font on every system, instead of falling back to the system font when Inter isn't installed.

Fixed

• With settings open, pressing the settings button closed them and then opened them again. It now closes them.
• Settings, dialogs and the deck list can now be scrolled with the keyboard.
• Green text and buttons are easier to read in light mode.

MTG Art Downloader v0.2.0

If you have 0.1.0 installed, the app offers this update when it starts. Otherwise, download the installer for your system below, or from getmtg.art.

New

Preconstructed decks

A Decks tab lists every preconstructed deck MTGJSON has: Commander decks, Secret Lair drops, theme decks, Jumpstart packs and the rest, newest first, with a picture of the box where there is one.

• Search them as you would on Scryfall: set:eoc, type:commander, name:abzan, year>=2024, date<2020-06, or just words from the deck's or its set's name. Put - before any of them to leave out what it matches.
• Downloading a deck saves the exact printings in the box, commander first.
• With A folder for each list on, the deck's art goes in a folder named after it, which you can rename.
• From the command line: mtg-art --deck AbzanArmor_TDC.

Find a larger copy

Scryfall's art is small. Beside each image that came from Scryfall, six buttons open a window to look for a bigger copy: Google Lens searching for that art, the artist on ArtStation, DeviantArt or Pixiv, Instagram through Google, and the artist's own website when MTGPics links one.

• Open the largest copy you find and choose Save image. The app checks it's the same art and larger than Scryfall's, then saves it in place of Scryfall's file, in a web/ folder, marked Found with a link to the page it came from.
• If it looks like a card scan, a smaller copy or another painting, the app asks before saving it.
• On sites that don't let you save images, such as Instagram, choose Find the art on this page from the window's menu (on macOS, the Find Art menu in the menu bar). The app shows the page's images with their sizes and saves the one you pick.
• Later downloads of that art use your copy, after checking it's still the same image.
• A setting shows the same buttons beside MTGPics' art too.

Choose where each image comes from

Right-click a card in the results to save its art again from another place it's known to be: MTGPics, Scryfall, or any copy you found, each listed with its size.

Also new

• Split cards such as Fire // Ice and Cut // Ribbons are saved as one image per half when MTGPics has a painting for each, and each half gets its own painting. Duskmourn's Rooms are saved once, as a whole.
• The results show each saved image's size in pixels, and a Found filter.
• A Clear button for the card list.
• WebP images are saved as they are.
• A new app icon.

Fixed

• A double-faced card could get its two faces' art the wrong way round when MTGPics listed the back first. Cards saved by 0.1.0 with more than one face are looked up again once, the right way round.
• At the window's default size, the results table no longer scrolls sideways, and thumbnails no longer shrink to nothing.
• Every saved image and its thumbnail can be reached and opened from the keyboard.
• Error and warning text is easier to read in light mode.
