Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Vinyl Inspector

How accurate is Vinyl Inspector at detecting scratches?

Our tool effectively highlights scratches in high-quality images, but accuracy decreases with low-resolution photos. Bright lighting and shadows can also impact detection. While it improves visibility, it cannot identify all scratches with 100% certainty.

Is there a limit to how many images I can analyze?

Yes. The free version allows one image inspection per hour. For unlimited inspections, a one-time fee of $15 provides full access.

Can the extension detect all types of scratches?

It is designed to identify surface scratches visible in images. Deep gouges or internal damage may not be detectable.

Does the extension work with low-quality images?

Detection accuracy diminishes with low-resolution or blurry images. Clear, high-resolution photos yield the best results.

Is Vinyl Inspector compatible with all online record stores?

Yes, it works on any website where vinyl record images are displayed, helping you assess records across multiple platforms.
