Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the book recognition?

Our system can recognize most books with clearly visible spines. The accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, and how visible the book spines are. We recommend taking clear, well-lit photos.

Which book management apps can I export to?

You can export your catalog as a CSV file, which is compatible with most book management apps including Libib, LibraryThing, BookBuddy, and more.

Is there a limit to how many books I can scan at once?

There's no strict limit, but for best results, we recommend photos that capture 20-30 books at a time. For larger collections, you can take multiple photos.

Is my book data kept private?

Yes, we take privacy seriously. Your book data is only used to provide you with the service and is not shared with third parties. You can delete your data at any time.
