📸 MTG Card Scanner

Use your camera or upload an image to instantly identify Magic: The Gathering cards. Our OCR technology reads card text and pairs it with a card art similarity check so the right printing rises to the top. Once identified, you can view prices, details, and semantically similar cards.

💡 Tips for Best Results:

  • Ensure good lighting - avoid shadows and glare
  • Keep the card name clearly visible
  • Include the artwork in frame so the art comparison has enough detail
  • Hold camera steady or use a flat surface
  • Try to capture just the card (minimize background)
  • For best accuracy, include the set symbol and number if visible
