What Makes CardSnap Different
Precision matching, not guesswork
Most scanner apps photograph the whole card and guess from the art, which falls apart the moment two printings share identical artwork.
- Close-Up Scan zooms in on just the collector number and set code: the two things that uniquely identify a printing.
- No ambiguity between reprints, promos, or masterpiece editions that all share the same art.
- Faster, too: no downloading and comparing full card images just to find a match.
Why CardSnap
Everything you need to scan, organize, and grow your binder
Full Card Scan
Older cards with no printed set code? Frame the whole card and pick the exact printing from a visually-ranked list.
Real Collection Tracking
Every card you scan is saved with its set, finish, and live market price, foil and etched treatments included.
Wish List
Track the cards you're hunting for. Search by name or scan a friend's copy. Want one exact printing, or whichever is cheapest? Set a target price, then move it into your collection in a tap.
Buy From Top Stores
Send one card or your whole wish list to TCGplayer, Mana Pool, Card Kingdom, or CoolStuffInc, with an estimated cost at each store so you can see where it's cheapest.
Price Alerts
Get notified when your cards spike or drop. Track your whole collection or just the cards you pick, and hear about it when a wish-list card hits your target price.
Moxfield & Archidekt Sync
Keep your collection on Moxfield or Archidekt. Import your existing collection, then export only what's new. CardSnap tracks what's been sent so nothing doubles up.
Double-Faced Cards
Transform, modal, and reversible cards scan and display correctly. Tap to flip and see the exact back face, right in the app.
Promos & Serialized
Promo stamps and serial-numbered cards often live in a different set from the regular printing. CardSnap finds them and names each version (Prerelease, Promo Pack, serialized and more) so you pick the exact one you're holding.
Three Ways to Browse
Switch between list, condensed, and grid views. Condensed groups every printing and finish of a card into one row; grid gives you a full visual gallery.
Search Like Scryfall
Filter your own collection with the same query syntax as Scryfall (t:creature, cmc>=4, c:ur) or build a search visually, including leaving out proxies or foils.
iCloud Backup
Back up your collection and wish list to iCloud and restore them on a new device. Every backup is its own restore point, so nothing gets overwritten.
