When you set out to make a V-Liver introduction card, it’s easy to get stuck on what to include. An introduction card isn’t about cramming in every profile detail—it’s about organizing, on a single image, what you want first-time viewers to know. Laying out your name, what you stream, where you’re active, and your tags in an easy-to-read way helps people grasp what kind of V-Liver you are in just a few seconds.
In this article, we’ll cover what to put on a V-Liver introduction card, easy-to-read layouts, free tools you can use, and how to post it on X and set it as a pinned post. Even if your avatar art or fan name isn’t decided yet, that’s fine. The goal is to make a first card using only the information you already have.
I’ll share my own experience as a streamer here and there throughout the article, so I hope it helps as a reference!
What Is a V-Liver Introduction Card? Its Purpose and Uses

An introduction card is an image that conveys your V-Liver activity at a glance. First, let’s sort out what information it gathers and where it’s handy to use.
An Introduction Card Sums Up Your Activity on One Image
A V-Liver introduction card brings together your name, stream content, where you’re active, tags, avatar art, and more on a single image. It helps first-time viewers quickly see what kind of activity you do.
It’s sometimes called an introduction sheet or profile card, but here we’ll treat it as “a profile image that clearly conveys a V-Liver’s activity.”
Handy for X Posts, Pinned Posts, and Debut Announcements
The introduction card you make can be used in many situations—posting on X, the pinned post shown at the top of your profile, pre-debut announcements, and greetings when you start your activity.
Because a single image conveys your activity, it becomes a way for people who find you to learn what kind of V-Liver you are.
How It Differs from a Profile Page or Introduction Video
An introduction card isn’t the only tool for introducing yourself. There are also profile pages and introduction videos, and each is good at a slightly different role.
| Type | Main Role |
|---|---|
| Introduction card | Conveys an overview of your activity on one image, for X posts and pinned posts |
| Profile page | Gathers your link collection, rules, and detailed profile |
| Introduction video | Conveys your voice, vibe, and the appeal of your character |
Start with an introduction card as the entry point to your activity, and add a profile page or video when you need them—that way you can prepare without overdoing it.
Basic and Recommended Items to Put on Your Card (with a Quick-Reference Table)

The first thing people get stuck on when making an introduction card is what to include. First, use the table below to get an overview of the basic items to add first and the recommended items to add when you have room.
| Category | Main Items |
|---|---|
| Basic items to add first | Name & how to call you / a one-line feature / stream genre & content / where you’re active / tags / avatar art / what you want viewers to do next |
| Recommended items to add if you have room | Greeting / fan name / fan mark / birthday / likes & dislikes / goals / illustration or asset credits |
Basic Items to Add First
Basic items are the entry-point information for telling first-time viewers about your activity. In particular, when your name and how to call you, what you stream, where you’re active, and what you want them to look at next are clear, first-time viewers respond more easily.
If you add tags, choose ones that fit your activity, such as a general tag, a stream tag, or a fan-art tag. Adding too many from the start makes the card hard to read, so when in doubt, narrow it to one or two tags you use often.
The remaining items also form the foundation for conveying what kind of V-Liver you are. Don’t overthink it—start with the information you’ve already decided.
Recommended Items to Add If You Have Room
Once the basics are in place, try adding items that convey your character and the vibe of your activity. For example, a fan name (what you call your fans) and a fan mark (an emoji fans use to show support) are handy once your interaction with fans grows.
The recommended items in the table make your personality come through more easily, but you don’t need to fill them all in. If you use illustrations or assets, check in advance whether their usage scope allows it and whether credit is required.
Items You Can Leave Blank If Undecided
Fan names, fan marks, stream schedules, detailed tags, and the like don’t have to be decided when you start. Rather than forcing them in, making a light card with only the information you’ve decided ends up clearer.
Don’t Pack In Information That Changes Later
The days and times you stream, your goals, and your activity direction can change as you keep going. If you write them in detail from the start, you’ll have more work fixing them every time they change.
Think separately about relatively stable information—like your name and basic activity—and information that changes easily, like stream times and goals; keeping the changeable ones to a minimum makes the card easier to manage.
When in doubt, lock in just the basics and add the rest from what you’ve decided. With this order, you’re less likely to freeze up when choosing items.
Before launching, I locked in my profile basics first, then gradually adjusted them as my personality came through on stream.
How to Write a Memorable Self-Introduction

Once you’ve decided what to include, the next step is turning it into text that gets across. Rather than cramming in long explanations, a short, clear sentence comes across better to first-time viewers.
Keep Your Name, How to Call You, and Activity Short
The first things to convey are three points: your name, how to call you, and what kind of person you are. Rather than including every detailed character setting, prioritize information first-time viewers can understand at a glance.
For example, even something short like “I’m ___. Call me ___. I mainly stream games” gets the minimum across. If you want to talk about your lore, reveal it bit by bit on your profile page or during streams.
Add a Phrase That Conveys Your Feature in One Line
On top of your name and activity, a short phrase that conveys your vibe gives people a reason to remember you. Here, the trick is to choose words that bring the stream to mind rather than abstract ones.
For example, “I do fun streams” is a little hard to picture, but “a laid-back evening just-chatting room” makes it easier to imagine your stream. Choose words that fit your current activity, matching your stream times and vibe.
Short Example Phrases by Stream Style
To make them easy to reference as-is, we’ve prepared short example phrases by stream style. Use the one closest to your activity, swapping in your own words.
| Stream Style | Example |
|---|---|
| Chat-focused | A laid-back chat room. First-timers welcome anytime |
| Game-streaming–focused | First-timers welcome. Casually streaming all kinds of games |
| Singing-focused | A new V-Liver who loves singing and chatting |
| Soothing | Relaxed and easygoing—delivering time where you can unwind |
| Energetic | Bright and lively—aiming for streams we can all enjoy together |
| Before first stream | First stream planned for [date]. I’d be happy to have your support |
NG Examples to Avoid on an Introduction Card
Finally, let’s note the NG examples beginners often fall into. Watching out for the following points makes your card much easier to read.
| NG Example | Why to Watch Out |
|---|---|
| Cramming in too much text | Too much information makes it hard to know where to look |
| Using too many colors | The info you want to stand out gets buried |
| Avatar art overlapping the text | Your name and activity become hard to read |
| Adding too many tags | It becomes unclear what the card is trying to convey |
| Forcing in undecided information | It tends to need fixing later |
| Including info that hints at who you are, like your nearest station or where you live | It can become a clue to where you live or move around |
| Not checking the usage terms for assets or avatar art | It can cause trouble over usage scope or credit |
Usage terms and personal information in particular are parts to check before publishing. Before you post, take another look at the scope you can use assets and avatar art, and whether any easily-identifying personal information is included.

Now you can see what to include and how to write it. Next, let’s think about a layout that organizes it all in an easy-to-read way.
How to Make an Easy-to-Read Layout, with Template Examples

Once your items and self-introduction text are set, the next step is arranging how the whole card looks. This chapter introduces easy-to-use layout patterns and tips for polishing the impression. Pick the one closest to your situation.
Quickest Version: For Those Who Just Want to Make One Now
When you just want to make one fast, narrow down the items. Centering on these five—name, where you’re active, stream content, tags, and avatar art—is enough to convey an overview of your activity.
You can add more information later. First, finish a minimal version and prioritize getting your activity started.
Debut-Announcement Type: For Use Before a First Stream
If your first stream is coming up, a pattern that gathers the info needed for an announcement is recommended. The first stream’s date and time, where you’ll stream, what kind of stream it’ll be, and a line asking people to follow. Including these conveys at a glance the date/time, where to watch, and the action you want viewers to take.
When you include easily-changing information like the first-stream date, keep your source/editing data too. That way, when you want to change the schedule or wording, you won’t have to remake the image from scratch.
A Layout That Shows Off Your Avatar Art
For V-Livers, avatar art is an important element that conveys the impression of your activity. So placing the image large, making it easy to see at a glance, is one pattern.
Here, what matters is leaving whitespace around the avatar art. Narrowing the text to just the key points keeps both the image and information clean, and lets your avatar art shine.
Tips So Your Card Doesn’t Blend In Even with a Template
Within the usage terms, there’s no problem starting from a free template. However, using one as-is can leave you with an impression similar to others.
Just slightly changing the colors, fonts, heading words, background, or avatar placement brings it closer to a card that’s uniquely yours. You don’t need to change everything—start by adjusting the color or the avatar placement.
The layouts so far can all be made with free tools. Next, let’s look at those creation tools and how to choose assets.
Having one layout you can reuse in any situation is handy—you won’t have to remake the card every time you post an announcement.
Free Tools You Can Use and Notes on Choosing Assets

Even without design experience, you can make an introduction card using free tools. This chapter introduces easy-to-start tools and notes for using assets.
If You’re Mostly on Your Phone, Try Canva or Profmaker
If you’re preparing mostly on your phone, tools like Canva or Profmaker are options.
Canva is a design tool that also has free templates. It works on both the smartphone app and the browser, and you can export the card you make as an image such as PNG.
Profmaker is an introduction-card creation tool you can use from your browser without installing an app.
Actually try them and choose while checking how easy the interface is to understand and whether it fits the design you want. Features and pricing can change, so check what’s available for free on the official site.
There are also creation tools besides Canva and Profmaker, so it’s a good idea to look for one that fits you.
Check the Usage Terms When Using Templates and Assets
When you use templates, background assets, icons, fonts, avatar art, and the like, don’t forget to check the usage terms. Whether commercial use is allowed, whether you may edit them, and whether credit is required differ by where they’re distributed.
In particular, if you’ll use them for monetized streams or SNS announcement images, check the conditions for commercial use and credit. Checking before you use them is reassuring, so you don’t run into trouble later.
Keep Both the Publishing Image and the Source Data
Once your card is done, keep not just the PNG image you post to X and elsewhere, but also the source/editing data. Keeping Canva’s editing data or the original image files means you won’t have to remake it when your activity changes.
Even when your name, tags, or stream content change, with the source data you can fix just that part. It saves you from making everything from scratch each update, so saving it first is recommended.
What matters is keeping your data in a form that’s easy to update later, while following the terms.
Points for Making an Introduction Card by Platform

The information to prioritize on an introduction card changes a little depending on the platform you’re active on. This chapter looks at points to keep in mind for each major platform.

For IRIAM, Show Your Avatar Art and Tags Clearly
IRIAM is an app where you upload a single illustration; it automatically recognizes the eyes and mouth and lets you stream while moving your character in sync with the voice picked up by the mic. Since your avatar art greatly affects how you look while streaming, showing it clearly on your introduction card is recommended.
Along with that, putting the tags and activity name you use in streams clearly makes it easier for people looking for you to find you. Note that if you commissioned your avatar art, check whether use outside streaming is allowed and confirm the usage scope.
If you’re about to start streaming on IRIAM, this article sums up how to start in six steps, so check it as well.

For REALITY, Center on Your Avatar Image and Stream Content
REALITY is an app where you use an avatar made on your phone to live-stream without showing your face. Because it reads your expressions with the phone’s front camera and moves the avatar, putting an image that conveys your avatar’s vibe on your introduction card makes it clearer.
If you’re mainly active on REALITY, along with your avatar image, you’ll want to show what kind of streams you do—chatting, games, singing, collab streams, and so on. Compared with an IRIAM-oriented card that shows the avatar art large, a lighter card that conveys the avatar’s impression, stream content, and approachability also works well.
For example, place the avatar image in the center, and around it briefly add “stream content,” “rough activity hours,” “favorite topics,” and “a line for first-timers.” This makes it easier to convey what kind of vibe you stream with on REALITY.
If You Also Use YouTube or X, Be Mindful of Link Flow
If you’re active on multiple platforms, sorting out where you want people to look keeps first-time viewers from getting lost. Neatly sum up where your main streaming place is and what other accounts you have.
What to watch out for here is that even if you write a URL inside the image, it can’t be clicked like a normal link. Put URLs in the post text or profile field and guide people together with the image, so viewers can follow them.
On any platform, what matters first is that your avatar art and stream content come across. Next, let’s follow, in order, the steps to make and publish a card.
Steps to Make and Publish Your Introduction Card

Building on what we’ve covered, let’s look at the flow of making and publishing an introduction card in five steps. Following this flow makes it easier to shape a card you can use before and after your first stream.
Step 1: Decide What to Include
First, decide what to put on the card. Center on the basic items (name, how to call you, stream content, where you’re active, tags, avatar art, etc.), and add recommended items if you have room.
Items you haven’t decided yet, like a fan name or schedule, don’t have to be forced in. You can make a first card with just the information you’ve decided.
Step 2: Choose a Template and Add Text and Images
Next, choose a template in Canva, Profmaker, or similar, and add your name, activity, avatar art, tags, and so on.
You don’t need to get fancy from the start. Adjusting text size and placement and prioritizing readability makes a card that comes across to first-time viewers.
Step 3: Export as PNG and Check the Content
Once the card is done, export it as an image such as PNG and check the content before publishing. Try checking the following points on your phone screen.
| What to Check | Points to Look At |
|---|---|
| Text size | Is the text not too small and readable even on a phone |
| Typos | Are there mistakes in your name, tags, dates, etc. |
| Placement | Is the avatar art not overlapping the text |
| Missing info | Is information you meant to include not missing |
Step 4: Post on X and Set It as a Pinned Post
Once checked, post the image on X. Adding your activity, where you stream, and a line asking people to follow in the post text supplements the info the card alone can’t convey.
After posting, pin that post to the top of your profile. From the menu (…) at the top right of the post you want to pin, choose “Pin to your profile” to set it. You can pin only one, so choose the post you most want people to see. Note that the display and steps can change, so if you can’t find it, check X’s Help.
Step 5: Update When Your Activity Changes
When your stream genre, where you’re active, tags, fan name, and the like change, update your introduction card too. If you keep the source/editing data, you can fix just the changed part and prepare an updated version.
Leaving old information as-is can mislead first-time viewers. It’s a good habit to review it at each milestone in your activity.
That completes the flow of making and publishing an introduction card. Finally, let’s clear up the small details with an FAQ.
Frequently Asked Questions

Finally, we’ll sum up, in a Q&A format, the points that tend to cause hesitation when making an introduction card.
What Should I Do If My Avatar Art Isn’t Finished?
Even if your avatar art isn’t finished, you can make a simple introduction card. If you have an avatar on REALITY or similar, you can also use the avatar image or a screenshot. If your avatar art is being commissioned, make a text-centered provisional card and swap in the image once it’s done.
However, avoid using images whose source is unknown or assets whose usage scope is unclear. Using them without knowing the allowed scope can require fixes or deletion later.
Can I Make It with Just a Phone?
You can make it with just a phone. Canva works from the smartphone app and Profmaker from the browser, so you can make an introduction card without a PC.
Before publishing, check on your phone screen whether the text is too small and whether it’s readable.
Should I Put Everything on One Card?
You don’t need to put everything in. Cramming in too much information actually makes it harder to read.
On an introduction card, convey an overview of your activity, and supplement a detailed profile and rules on a linked profile page—that keeps it tidy.
Do I Need Both an Introduction Card and a Profile Page?
Neither is mandatory. At first, you can start with just an introduction card.
Once your activity grows and you want to gather a link collection and detailed information, having a profile page is convenient. Their roles differ, so add them in the order you need them.
How Do I Decide the Size of an Introduction Card?
Deciding based mainly on where you’ll post is recommended. If you’re posting on X, one approach is to aim for a landscape 16:9. For example, 1200×675 pixels is a ratio often cited as a size example for X post images.
However, X officially hasn’t stated a recommended size for introduction cards. The display spec can also change, so place important text and avatar art toward the center, and finally check readability on your phone’s actual display.
Summary
A V-Liver introduction card is a profile image that clearly conveys your activity to first-time viewers. Just adding basic information—name, stream content, where you’re active, tags, and avatar art—makes a single card that’s handy as an entry point to your activity.
First, use a tool and template like Canva or Profmaker to make one card with only the information you’ve decided. After publishing, you can gradually update it to match your stream content and direction while watching the response. You don’t need to aim for perfection from the start. Start small and shape it into an introduction card that’s uniquely yours.
