The chessboard scanner has been of the most popular features of our mobile applications with over 700,000 downloads. We're thrilled to announce that it has now been integrated into our website as well. This feature allows users to upload chessboard images and have their position digitized and imported to Chessify instantly for independent or engine analysis.
Let's find out more about the scanning feature and how to use it on our website.
The Chessify scanner is an advanced OCR tool that allows users to digitalize chessboard positions from different platforms, such as books, computer screen, or 3D real-life chessboards.
We first released our scanner as part of the Chessify mobile applications in June 2016. The apps now have more than 700,000 downloads across different platforms: Google Play Store, Apple Store, Mi Store, etc. With the addition of real board recognition, our apps have become the only tool in the chess market that are able to digitize chess positions from both 2D and 3D platforms. You can get our apps on Google Play Store or App Store to scan your positions and analyze them with different chess engines.
However, if you're a website user, all you need to do is to log in to our Analysis Dashboard and follow our instructions below to start scanning your chess positions.
While the Chessify mobile apps allow you to use the phone camera for taking a photo of the chessboard, the website can only scan uploaded images. Using the scanner on the Chessify website is easy and intuitive. Here's how to do it:
If you need help to start analyzing with our different engines, please watch our video tutorial on YouTube. Once you log in to chessify.me/analysis, you will be able to find all of our video tutorials on the top panel.
Please note that our website and mobile apps are not connected, so you need different accounts for them.
Using the scanner on the Chessify website is a convenient way to import chess positions quickly. It is free for all registered users. Create your free account now to start using our scanner and stay tuned for more digitalization tools by following our news section.
