## About Antique Scanner

Antique Scanner is an AI photo research tool for people exploring antiques, vintage objects, and collectibles. It helps turn photographs of an unfamiliar item into a structured starting point for further research. Instead of beginning with only a visual impression, users can review a possible identification alongside estimated age, origin, materials, condition, and market value. The service is available through the Antique Scanner website.

To start an analysis, upload up to five photographs in JPG, PNG, or WebP format. Multiple views can show different aspects of an object, such as its overall shape, a maker's mark, a material detail, or visible wear. The analysis considers marks, materials, construction, form, and wear. These observations contribute to a report that brings the available clues together and explains what remains uncertain.

Reports include a possible identification, estimated age and origin, and value ranges. They also include confidence levels, supporting evidence, and open questions. Those elements matter when working from photographs: a suggested attribution or price range should be understood together with its limitations. Antique Scanner describes its reports as AI research estimates, not certified appraisals. A report can guide the next research step, while questions that require physical examination or specialist expertise may still need separate investigation.

The website has dedicated identification pages for pottery, porcelain, silver, glass, watches, vases, furniture, and jewelry. These entry points make the service relevant to a variety of common collecting interests. A person researching a ceramic vase, for example, can provide views of the shape, decoration, and base. Someone exploring a silver object can include photographs of visible hallmarks. The purpose is to give the analysis useful evidence about the particular object rather than rely on a single broad description.

Completed reports are saved to the user's scan history. This provides a place to revisit earlier research while looking at different objects or reviewing a previous result. The combination of photo input, a structured report, and saved history can help collectors and people sorting vintage belongings organize an initial investigation into what an item might be.

The first scan is free. Additional reports use credits purchased in one-time packs through Stripe. Each report uses ten credits, and available packs start at $3.98 for ten credits. Other listed options are $29.90 for 85 credits and $59.90 for 190 credits. Credits do not expire, and the service does not require a recurring subscription. Users can therefore try the first scan and purchase more credits when they have further objects to research.

Antique Scanner is intended as an accessible research aid for antique identification and preliminary value exploration. Its useful output is a set of evidence-based possibilities and questions to examine further, with confidence and uncertainty kept visible throughout the report.
