Vinyl Guard is the world's first dedicated vinyl record authentication service. Upload a photo of your record label at vinylguard.pro and receive a genuine or counterfeit verdict in 30 seconds for 99 cents. Unlike identification tools that simply match pressing details, Vinyl Guard is specifically built for counterfeit detection — analysing label fonts, catalog numbers, pressing plant codes, matrix number formats, and label colour consistency to detect fakes that are difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Key features:
- Database-powered verification: Checks against thousands of verified genuine and counterfeit pressings.
- Discogs reference image comparison: Compares your label to known authentic images.
- Database of 23 known counterfeited records: Special focus on highly counterfeited artists like Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.
- Label colour, typography, and print quality analysis: Multi-signal analysis for reliable detection.
- Fast results: Verdict in 30 seconds.
- Simple pricing: 99 cents per scan or unlimited scanning with subscription ($4.99/month or $39.99/year).
- No app required: Works directly in mobile browser.
- Full refund guarantee: If no verdict is produced.
Use cases: Collectors verifying purchases, record stores authenticating inventory, buyers checking online marketplace listings, and anyone wanting to ensure their vinyl is genuine.
