How WaxScan works

1

Point

Hold your phone over a vinyl cover or center label. WaxScan captures the image and reads all visible text and barcodes.

2

Identify

Our pipeline cross-references multiple databases to find the exact pressing, complete with tracklist and market data.

3

Collect

The record is added to your personal collection with full album details, current market value and rarity score.

Every feature, explained

Built for real collectors

From scanning a single record to managing thousands — here is everything WaxScan does.

Scanning

Gallery ImportImport any existing photo from your phone for identification.
Bulk ImportSelect multiple photos at once to identify a whole stack of records in one go.
