Can AirCards change Apple Wallet directly?
No. This site provides artwork and instructions only. Use the official AirCard tool on your own device to change the display.
FAQ
Answers about artwork downloads, the AirCard tool, and image sources.
What format and size is the download?
Downloads default to 1536 × 969 PNG.
Do I need to enter a card number or upload Wallet data?
No. Further downloads, publishing and likes require sign-in. We do not collect full card numbers or Wallet contents.
Where does the artwork come from?
The official catalog combines card-network and issuer artwork with Cardentify and other traceable card artwork archives. Creator submissions appear in the community. Check each detail page for sources; contact contact@aircards.org for corrections or removal.
Can I publish my own card artwork?
Yes. Create artwork without signing in, then sign in to publish and confirm your rights. PNG, JPG/JPEG and WebP must be under 5 MiB. The original format and dimensions are retained. New submissions are published first and then reviewed; moderators can return or remove them.
What if my submission is rejected?
Check the reason under My works, revise and submit it again. Changes to published artwork also require a new review.
Which iOS versions can use AirCard?
The projects list iOS 18.0–27.0.1 and iOS 27.2 beta 1–2 as supported. They report that iOS 27.2 beta 3 and newer cannot flash artwork. Unlisted versions are unconfirmed. These are upstream claims, not AirCards device tests.
How do I pair AirCard-iOS on iOS 18–26?
Import your device’s .mobiledevicepairing, .plist or .mobilepair file in Pairing → Import Pairing File…. Keep the local VPN active. Pair This iPhone is available only on supported iOS 27 versions.
Can I change the Apple Card artwork?
Apple Card uses dynamic rendering rather than a static card image. AirCard’s static artwork does not apply to it. An Apple-themed image in this catalog does not indicate Apple Card support.
Can I restore the original card artwork?
On Windows, Restore Original needs a backup saved before the change for the same device and card. Equivalent controls are unconfirmed in macOS v1.2.6 / iOS v1.3.2; Remove skin / Clear All does not restore Wallet. Without a backup, the maintainer suggests removing and re-adding the card. Confirm you can add it again first; check balance and transfer rules for transit cards.
The app finished, but Wallet still shows the old image. What now?
Connection, card detection, writing and the visible Wallet result are separate stages. Check the final operation status, force-close Wallet and reopen it, then inspect the intended card. If needed, restart the iPhone. A preview or 100% progress alone does not confirm success.
Why is Restore Original disabled?
Stop scanning, wait for any task to finish, and check the connection and target card. A log saying continuing without an original backup means that operation did not save the original. A backup folder alone does not prove a usable backup exists.
Why can’t AirCard connect to my iPhone?
Use a data cable, unlock the iPhone and trust the computer. Check that Finder, Apple Devices or iTunes detects it. Windows also needs the 64-bit iTunes / Apple Mobile Device Support required by AirCard; system detection alone does not guarantee the app can connect.
My iPhone connects, but bank cards or Amex are not detected. Why?
While scanning, unlock the iPhone, open Wallet and actually select or switch cards. A connection does not guarantee detection of every card. Amex detection issues have been reported; updating is not a guaranteed fix. IDs hidden as <private> cannot be recovered from scan logs.
Several cards were found. How do I avoid changing the wrong one?
Do not guess from list order, the last ID found or a name you entered. One scan may reveal several cards, and saved entries may not have been detected in this scan. Apply artwork only after confirming which ID belongs to the intended card.
Pairing works, but I get Broken pipe, Connection reset or an RSD error. What now?
Check upstream iOS compatibility and that the pairing file belongs to this iPhone. Keep the local VPN active and rule out conflicts with other VPNs. Pairing does not confirm scanning or writing works. If errors persist, report your versions and first redacted error instead of repeatedly flashing.
What if writing fails or AirTraffic sync times out?
Keep the iPhone unlocked and awake, open Apple Books once, and close iTunes or other PC apps using the sync connection. Reconnect and retry only one confirmed card. If it still times out, report the first error upstream; these steps do not resolve every compatibility issue.
Windows says VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing. What should I do?
Install or repair Microsoft’s official Visual C++ v14 x64 Redistributable, then reopen AirCard. Do not download individual DLLs from third-party sites. This runtime is separate from Apple Mobile Device Support.
