Pokémon cards are in, and small sources upscale noticeably better.

Pokémon

  • New Pokémon tab in the card gallery, powered by TCGdex.
    No API key, no account — search a card name and pick the printing you want,
    same as every other source.
  • The Card language picker drives it too: six languages carry real images
    (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese).
  • Pokémon cards are 63×88 mm, the same size as Magic cards, so nothing needs
    changing to print them.

TCGdex was picked over pokemontcg.io after measuring both. Their image ceiling
is identical (600×825, and that is the ceiling everywhere — not a limit of
either service), so what decided it was that TCGdex needs no API key, is open
source, and pokemontcg.io has been folded into a commercial product.

Small sources upscale better now

A source too small for one AI pass to reach the card is resized up to
exactly the right size before the pass, so the AI lands on the card instead
of leaving a plain stretch to do afterwards. Measured on a 600×825 scan,
sharpness improves by 56% for half a second and no extra memory.

This helps Pokémon and Gatherer images. Magic cards from Scryfall are
untouched — they already clear the target in one pass.

Fixed

  • Pokémon cards came out cropped. The MPC bleed trim decides by aspect
    ratio, and TCGdex images land inside the MPC window, so every Pokémon card
    lost 4.4% off each side — its border. The trim now only runs on sources that
    can actually carry a bleed.
  • Errors arrived empty. Failures reached you as "Search failed: None" with
    nothing useful in the log, because the exception was being lost before the
    message was built. Seven places fixed — errors now say what went wrong and
    the log carries a full traceback.
  • The card language picker is labelled "Card language" again. Shortened to
    "Language" in the last release, it read like the app's own language and
    people looking for cards in French did not find it.

Downloads

  • Cardwright.exe — portable, no install needed.
  • Cardwright_Setup-2.15.0.exe — installer.
