The scanner runs in your browser using your device camera. It detects the card in frame, captures an image, and sends it to ScryDeck’s identification pipeline — results usually appear in about a second.
You must be signed in to scan. Each successful identification counts against your scan quota on Free unless you are on Pro.
-
Open the scanner
Tap Scan in the app navigation or go to `/scan`. Grant camera permission when prompted — ScryDeck needs it to capture card images.
-
Scan a card
Hold a single card flat in the camera frame with good lighting. The scanner auto-detects the card outline and captures when stable.
Results open in the bottom drawer. Swipe the drawer up to see more detail, or open scan history to review everything you have scanned this session.

Review and adjust
Before adding to your collection, you can:
- Swipe the prediction carousel if the top match looks wrong.
- Tap the finish badge to cycle nonfoil, foil, or etched when the printing supports it.
- Tap condition to cycle NM → LP → MP → HP → D.
- Use + / − to change quantity for duplicate copies of the same printing.
-
Scanner controls
Along the bottom of the camera view:
- History — open the full list of cards scanned this session.
- Pause / Play — freeze the camera without leaving the page.
- Flashlight — toggle the torch when your device supports it.
- Settings — open scanner configuration (camera, set lock, foil options, and more).

Add to your collection
Tap Add to send scanned cards to your collection, a binder, or a deck. You can add the full session history or select specific rows from history first.
Scan history for the current session is stored locally on your device — it persists if you refresh, but it is separate from your synced collection until you add cards.
