About TCG Card Scanner
A free AI-powered card scanner that identifies any trading card from a photo — across 12 major TCGs, 60,000+ cards, with real-time pricing.
Why We Built This
The trading card market has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry. The difference between a common card and a rare variant can be hundreds or thousands of dollars — and that difference is often invisible to the untrained eye.
Collectors, players, and investors needed a fast, reliable way to identify cards without requiring deep expertise in every game. Existing tools were fragmented — one app for MTG, another for YGO, nothing for newer games. Most charged subscription fees for basic identification.
TCG Card Scanner solves this: one free tool that covers 12 major trading card games, with game-specific expertise built into every identification. Whether you're a Magic veteran, a One Piece collector, or someone who found a box of cards in an attic, you get instant, accurate identification — for free.
