A box of records with no names, or a label that is half worn: upload a photo of the centre label or the sleeve and this vinyl record identifier lists the three most likely releases. It reads the artist, title, label and catalogue number it can see, shows the clues, and tells you how to confirm the exact pressing. It never gives a price.
How the vinyl record identifier works
The AI reads the printed artist, title, label name, catalogue number, side text and any country or stereo marks in your photo. It lists three likely releases with a reason for each and writes not readable where a field cannot be seen.
What to photograph
The centre label is the best clue, with the sleeve front next. Shoot straight on, sharp and well lit, with no glare on the vinyl. A close shot of the catalogue number helps most, and the back of the sleeve adds track lists.
Finding the exact pressing
One album can have many pressings. Look in the dead wax, the blank ring near the centre, for the matrix number, then compare it on the Discogs database. The tool will not claim a record is a first press unless the text on it says so.
No prices, no promises
Value depends on pressing, condition and demand, which a photo cannot show. The tool gives no price or rarity claim. For a collection worth selling, ask a record dealer to check the matrix numbers.
Questions
Is the vinyl record identifier free?
Yes, it is free to use. Runs are paced rather than sold, so heavy use in a short window can mean a short wait.
What photo works best?
A straight-on, well-lit shot of the centre label or the sleeve front, with the catalogue number readable.
Can it tell me what my record is worth?
No. It gives no price or rarity. Check completed sales for the exact pressing or ask a dealer.
Can it find the exact pressing?
It lists likely releases and shows how to confirm the pressing from the dead wax matrix numbers. A photo alone cannot settle it.
Does it work with worn labels?
It reads what is visible and writes not readable for the rest, with a lower confidence.
Can it identify a 7 inch single or a 12 inch LP?
Yes. Pick the size if you know it, and photograph the centre label of the record.
