GitHub repo card generator
Design repository cards with star history, languages, contributors, and commit activity. Add one word to a GitHub URL, then export SVG, PNG, or live embeds anywhere.
02Design surface
Make any repository easier to scan.
A repository card should tell people what a project is, why it matters, and whether it is active before they leave the page.
Repository signals you can highlight
- Stars, forks, watchers, issues, and pull requests
- Language breakdown, topics, license, and links
- Contributor avatars and repository ownership
- Star history, commit activity, and code frequency
- Custom text for release notes or project positioning
Design surface
Canvas editor
Place repository widgets on a visual canvas so the card reads like a project summary, not a metric dump.
Repo signals
10+ data widgets
Show stars, commits, languages, contributors, topics, license, and other signals people scan first.
Embeds
SVG, PNG, iframe
Use the same card inside READMEs, docs, launch posts, portfolios, and internal dashboards.
03Export and embed
Embed repository cards anywhere.
Use a crisp SVG in Markdown, a live iframe in docs, or a small React wrapper in portfolio grids.
Markdown README embed
Use SVG for a crisp project card inside README files, documentation, and static site pages.
Portfolio and blog preview
Export PNG for project galleries, launch posts, social previews, and portfolio pages that need a stable image asset.
iframe embed
Use an iframe when you want to keep a live project card inside a docs page, launch post, or internal dashboard.
<iframe
src="https://githubcard.com/facebook/react"
title="React GitHub repo card"
loading="lazy"
></iframe>React component
Wrap the SVG in a small component when you want predictable sizing inside a project gallery or portfolio app.
function RepoCard() {
return (
<img
src="https://githubcard.com/facebook/react.svg"
alt="React GitHub repo card"
loading="lazy"
/>
);
}04Examples
Start from real repository cards.
Open a public project card, then paste your own owner/repo above to generate a card with live project data.

Use these examples to see how project metadata, activity, and ownership read inside the finished card.
05How it works
From GitHub URL to embed in three steps.
Step 01
Add card to the URL
Start from any public GitHub repository URL, add card after github, or type owner/repo directly.
Step 02
Tune the project story
Choose the signals that explain activity, momentum, language mix, ownership, and status.
Step 03
Embed the card
Export SVG or PNG, or embed a live repo card in a docs page, portfolio, or launch post.

Repository cards can show stars, forks, watchers, language breakdown, topics, license, contributors, star history, weekly commits, and code frequency widgets.
