Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How effective is Vinyl Inspector at detecting scratches?

A.Our image processing helps identify scratches in many images of records, but there are some limitations. This detection is less effective at low resolution images. Strong lighting or deep shadows over an image may obscure the information necessary to make scratches visible. If there is a clear, high resolution photo of the record, we typically give good results. We cannot guarantee that we will detect all scratches, but we do help in many cases.

Q.Is there a limit to how many photos I can inspect?

A.With the free Chrome extension, you can inspect one photo per hour. If you want to inspect more photos, there's a one time fee of $15.
