How to scan Pokémon cards with PokiFrame
A camera scan is the start of checking a card. PokiFrame finds a match; you then compare the set, card number and variant with the card in your hand. Here is the workflow for scanning one card and keeping the result.
See the scanner demoOpen the scanner and choose the card language
Open the scanner in the PokiFrame app and allow camera access when prompted. Under Card Language, choose EN for an English card or JP for a Japanese card. This selects the card catalog used for matching, independently of the language you use for the app's menus.
Start with Single mode
Select Single under Scan Mode. Hold one card in the camera view with its edges and printed details visible. Keep the phone steady while the scanner finds a match. If reflections hide the artwork or number, adjust the angle or lighting before trying again.
Check the match and choose the right variant
Open the matched card and compare its artwork, set and collector number with your physical card. Use the variant control to review available printings and finishes. Choose the version you actually own, such as Normal, Holofoil or Reverse Holo, where offered. A familiar artwork alone is not enough to choose a printing.
Save the checked card
Tap Organize to review the scanned cards. Check the quantity and selected variant before adding the card to a collection. Choose the destination collection and complete the add action. Return to the collection to confirm that the card and quantity are there.
If the result does not look right
Check Card Language first, then retry with just that card visible. You can also use the website's price checker to search by name or card number and compare the available results manually.
