Our Vision

Chessana is a community-driven platform created for chess players, coaches, streamers, and developers who want to make working with chess PGNs simple, modern, and creative.

We believe that sharing and analyzing chess games should be effortless. Chessana provides free online tools to help you convert, visualize, and share your games using the universal PGN (Portable Game Notation) format. Our mission is to make chess content creation and sharing as easy as possible—no downloads, no technical hurdles, just simple tools built for the community.

Our Mission

At Chessana, we aim to empower the global chess community with tools that simplify how games are shared and presented online. Many great chess games and ideas remain hidden in PGN files or local databases. Our goal is to help players and creators transform those games into accessible, shareable, and visual stories.

Whether you’re teaching, analyzing, or posting highlights, Chessana helps you turn PGNs into beautiful visuals and interactive experiences.
