CardMagic
Turn a phone photo of your cards into clean, centered, listing-ready images, no scanner needed
What This Does
- Finds every card in a phone photo and returns each one as its own clean image
- Straightens each card and squares it up at standard trading-card proportions, as if it were scanned
- Or crops each card exactly as it appears in the photo, trimmed to the card
- Adds an adjustable border (0–50% of the card size) filled with the real background or a solid color
- Restores contrast and removes color casts automatically, or leaves the original color untouched
- Returns JPEG or PNG images at the photo's native size or any long edge from 32 to 2100 pixels
- Optionally adds close-ups of all four corners, plus a sheet combining them, for judging condition
- One card comes back as an image; two or more cards, or corner close-ups, come back as a ZIP file
When To Use This
- Creating marketplace listing photos with just your phone
- Photographing several cards at once and getting each one as its own image
- Checking corners for condition before grading or selling
- Building a listing or inventory app without scanner hardware
