Photo AI

Scan with your camera

Point your phone at a loose part, minifigure, or set box. We match your photo against our catalog — and we do not keep copies of your images.

  • → Part, minifig, set, or "everything" mode
  • → Upload a photo if camera access isn't available
  • → Confidence scores with manual search fallback

  • → Parts like 3001 or catalog part numbers
  • → Minifigs, sets, themes, and keyword search

Tips for better scan results

Small changes make a big difference when photographing loose LEGO.

Plain background

Use a white or neutral surface. Busy patterns confuse the camera and the AI.

Good lighting

Natural daylight works best. Avoid harsh shadows across printed details.

One item at a time

Fill the frame with a single part or minifig. Overlapping pieces reduce accuracy.

Low confidence? Search instead

Check for numbers molded into the piece and search manually — often faster than rescanning.
