chess2board

chess2board turns a photo of a chess board into a digital position in seconds. Point your camera at a physical board or an on-screen position—the app detects the pieces so you can review, correct, and use the position in your chess tools.

FEATURES

• Photo & screenshot: fast AI recognition of pieces and position

• Board editor: fine-tune the position with drag-and-drop or tap-to-edit

• Export: FEN and PGN for your engines and chess apps

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the app and photograph a position—from a book, a screen, or a live game.

2. Check the result on the interactive board and tap to fix any mistakes.

3. Copy the FEN, generate a PGN, or open the position in Lichess, Chess.com, and more.

PLANS

The free tier gives you 2 scans—each slot recharges 24 hours after use—plus the board editor and FEN & PGN export. GM mode (one-time in-app purchase, no subscription) unlocks unlimited scans, scan history, no ads, and priority processing—depending on what the app offers at the time of purchase.

IMPORTANT

Positions are produced by AI and may contain errors—always verify the position before using it in competition or for critical analysis.
