How to take the best scan photo.

Designed to work with standard or jumbo Bicycle playing cards. For best accuracy, take a bird’s-eye photo directly above the cards. The scanner works best when the upper-left rank labels are clearly visible and neatly aligned.

Do this

  • Use standard or jumbo Bicycle cards.
  • Hold the phone flat above the table.
  • Use a bird’s-eye angle, not a side angle.
  • Keep all cards fully inside the photo.
  • Make sure the upper-left ranks are visible.
  • Align cards in clean horizontal and/or vertical stacks.
  • Use bright, even lighting with minimal glare.

Avoid this

  • Do not cover the upper-left rank labels.
  • Do not overlap cards so the rank is hidden.
  • Do not take the photo at a steep angle.
  • Do not crop out any cards.
  • Do not use blurry, dark, or glare-heavy photos.
  • Do not mix messy piles with clean meld stacks.
