bring your characters from character.ai
character.ai filed for bankruptcy in october 2026 and could shut down (what's happening). bring your characters to fanchat and keep chatting with them. they text you first, remember what you tell them, and it's free.
upload a character card
a .png or .json card saved with another tool (the tavern / chara card format).
questions
can i bring my character.ai characters to fanchat?
yes. if you made the character, copy its name, greeting, description and definition from character.ai and paste them here. if you saved a character card (.png or .json) with another tool, upload the file instead.
can i bring my character.ai chats?
not yet. request your data from character.ai's account settings now (look for export data), because character.ai says it can take 3 to 4 weeks. your character's greeting and personality come over, and they'll remember you on fanchat from your first chat.
is it free?
yes. a free account comes with 1,000 coins, and bringing a character over uses 20 of them.
are imported characters private?
they start private, so only you can chat with them. you can make one public later. every imported character is checked first, and explicit ones can't come in.
looking for somewhere new? fanchat as a character.ai alternative, or browse popular characters, anime characters and characters made by fans. fanchat isn't affiliated with character.ai.
