Track Your DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K UHDs
Your entire movie shelf, digitized and searchable. Photograph your DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K discs and ShelvesAI pulls in all the details automatically. Finding what to watch just got a lot easier.

Physical media is worth cataloging
Physical media is making a comeback. Collectors know that owning a Blu-ray or 4K disc means you always have access. No licensing deals pulling titles from streaming, no internet required, and consistently better audio and video quality. But as collections grow, keeping track of hundreds of discs becomes a real challenge.
ShelvesAI turns your physical movie shelf into a searchable digital library. Instead of scanning each case one by one, you photograph your shelf and we identify everything on it. A collection of 200 Blu-rays can be cataloged in minutes, not hours.
Stop forgetting what you own
Every movie collector has bought a duplicate disc or spent ten minutes searching through shelves trying to remember if they already own a particular title. With ShelvesAI, a quick search tells you instantly. Filter by format to see all your 4K titles, sort by genre for movie night, or browse by director to find that Criterion edition you know is in there somewhere.
Share your collection
Serious collectors take pride in their libraries. ShelvesAI lets you make your movie collection public so friends and fellow collectors can browse it. It's also really practical because when someone asks "can I borrow that movie?" you can see at a glance what's in your collection and what's already lent out.
How it works
Photograph your movie shelf
Snap a photo of your DVD rack, Blu-ray tower, or media cabinet. ShelvesAI reads the spines and identifies each title.
Metadata fills itself in
Cast, director, genre, runtime, release year, and format are all pulled in automatically for each movie in your collection.
Browse and decide what to watch
Search your entire movie library by title, actor, genre, or year. Share your collection with friends who always ask what to borrow.
Frequently asked questions
- Can ShelvesAI tell the difference between DVD and Blu-ray?

- Does it work with steelbook and special editions?
- ShelvesAI recognizes most steelbook and special edition cases. If a limited edition has unusual packaging, you can always adjust the details after the initial scan.

- Each photo can capture as many spines as are visible. For a large shelf, you might take 2-3 photos to cover everything. There's no limit to your total collection size.
