How to export Janitor AI characters and import them into Silly Tavern

People searching how to import janitor ai characters to sillytavern or how to export janitor ai characters usually want one thing: turn a site-side character into a Silly Tavern–compatible PNG/JSON card. This is a conceptual flow—button names follow JanitorAI and ST as shipped.

Align on target format

Silly Tavern most often expects PNG with embedded JSON. Janitor’s export may offer PNG, JSON, or other options—read the export screen.

Do:

  1. Find Export / Download on Janitor (wording changes).
  2. Check the extension: .png is usually the fastest path into ST; JSON-only may need merging into PNG depending on your toolchain.
  3. In ST Characters, import, then start a new chat to verify.

Import into Silly Tavern (verbs)

  1. Open ST → Characters.
  2. Import the downloaded file.
  3. If it errors, note whether it’s format vs missing fields—cross-check character card fields.

Why export at all

  • Backups: a file on disk beats “only in the cloud.”
  • Play in ST: you need an ST-compatible card.
  • Edit offline: edit embedded JSON in PNG on Mac with Sillycard, then re-import to ST.
