Detailed Instructions
Taking the Perfect Photos
Important: Always Scan Detailed Ingredients
This is the most important scanning tip: Make sure to photograph the detailed ingredients list, not just product packaging or front labels.
If the AI doesn't have access to the complete ingredients list, it may make analysis without this important information, significantly increasing the risk of errors. Always include at least one clear photo of where ingredients are listed in detail.
💡 Pro Tip: Take up to 4 photos to capture the totality of the product label. If possible, include photos of the product name and brand as this helps our AI provide additional information about the product.
✅ Do This:
- • MUST: Photograph the detailed ingredients list
- • Take up to 4 photos of different parts of the label
- • Include product name and brand when possible
- • Ensure good lighting (natural light works best)
- • Hold the camera steady and close enough to read text
- • Capture the entire ingredient list completely
- • Make sure text is clear and not blurry
- • Avoid shadows covering the text
❌ Avoid This:
- • Skipping the detailed ingredients section
- • Taking photos in dim lighting
- • Capturing only part of the ingredient list
- • Scanning only front packaging without ingredients
- • Blurry or out-of-focus images
- • Reflective surfaces that create glare
- • Extreme angles that distort text
