Chess PGN Scanner – Scan Handwritten Chess Scoresheets with AI

Turn handwritten chess scoresheets and chess notation into clean PGN files in seconds.

Chess PGN Scanner is an AI-powered chess scoresheet scanner that reads handwritten chess notation from a photo, recognizes the moves and converts your game into standard PGN format.

Simply take a photo of your handwritten chess scoresheet or select an existing image. The app scans the notation, reconstructs the game and lets you review and correct every move before creating your PGN.

SCAN HANDWRITTEN CHESS NOTATION

No more typing every move manually after a tournament or club game. Photograph your scoresheet and let Chess PGN Scanner turn your handwritten chess notation into a digital game.

REVIEW AND CORRECT MOVES

Check the recognized moves on an interactive chessboard. Easily correct uncertain moves before exporting your game.

EXPORT YOUR GAMES AS PGN

Create standard PGN files that can be used with popular chess platforms and chess analysis software.

You can:

• Download your game as a PGN file
• Share the PGN with other apps
• Continue with Lichess
• Analyze your game on Chess.com
• Open your game with ChessBase

MADE FOR CHESS PLAYERS

Chess PGN Scanner is useful for tournament players, club players and anyone who records chess games on a traditional paper scoresheet.
