Saving a card

Save links, files, and media to Stacklist as cards. Every card you save becomes part of your hub.

A card is a single piece of saved content. Cards live inside stacks. Stacklist supports several card types so you can save the format that fits the source.

Card types and limits

• Link card: a URL with auto-pulled title, description, and preview image.

• Gallery card: up to 5 images, PNG or JPEG, 10 MB per image. All 5 images combine into one card.

• Video card: one video file, MOV or MP4, up to 500 MB.

• PDF card: one PDF, up to 22 MB.

• Document card: one Word document (.docx), up to 22 MB.

• Markdown card: up to 10 markdown files at once. Each file becomes its own card.

Every card type supports a title, description, tags, and stack assignment.

Where you can save a card

Two places today:

• The /cards page, the main card-creation surface.

• An Add Card Widget, the upload surface at the top of a stack.

More creation surfaces are planned. For now, those two handle all card types.

Save a link card

Web app

1. Log in at stacklist.app.

2. Go to /cards, or open a stack and use the Add Card Widget at the top.

3. Paste a URL into the link field.

4. Stacklist fills in the title, description, and image.

5. Edit details, add tags, and pick a stack.

6. Save.

Browser extension

The extension is the fastest way to save link cards. It handles links only today. File-based card types are coming to the extension later.

1. On the page you want to save, click the Stacklist extension icon in the browser toolbar.

2. Review the auto-filled title, description, and image.

3. Add tags and pick a stack if you want.

4. Click Save.

Install:

• Chrome: stackl.ist/chrome

• Firefox: stackl.ist/firefox

• Edge: stackl.ist/edge

• Safari: stackl.ist/safari

The Chrome extension also installs on Arc.

Save a file card

Works the same on desktop and mobile. The only difference is how you pick the file.

Desktop

1. Go to /cards, or open a stack and use the Add Card Widget at the top.

2. Drag your files onto the upload area, or click Choose a file.

3. Stacklist starts creating the card.

4. Edit title, description, tags, and stack.

5. Save.

Mobile

1. Go to /cards, or open a stack and use the Add Card Widget at the top.

2. Tap Choose a file and pick the file from your device.

3. Stacklist starts creating the card.

4. Edit title, description, tags, and stack.

Bulk vs. single card behavior

• Drop 5 images: get 1 gallery card.

• Drop 10 markdown files: get 10 separate markdown cards.

• All other file types: one file, one card.

Tips

• Add tags at save time so you do not have to go back later.

• A card can belong to more than one stack.

• Card details are editable after saving.
