DentScanner
Dents can run, but they can't hide
DentScanner turns your phone screen into a striped light board. Hold it up to a glossy panel and watch the reflection — straight lines mean clean paint, warped lines reveal a dent.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a dent on my car with my phone?
Open DentScanner's light board, hold your phone 30–50 cm from a clean, glossy panel, and angle it so the stripes reflect in the paint. Move slowly across the panel: straight reflected lines mean the panel is clean, warped or pinched lines mean there's a dent.
What is a light board for dent detection?
A light board — sometimes called a line board or reflector board — is a striped panel used in paintless dent repair (PDR) to make dents visible. The stripes reflect in the car's paint, and any distortion in the reflected lines reveals a dent. DentScanner recreates this tool on your phone screen.
Do I need any extra equipment?
No. Your phone screen is the tool. It works best on clean, glossy panels in even lighting.
Is DentScanner free?
You get 3 free scans. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited scanning forever — no subscription.
Does DentScanner use my camera or upload photos?
No. DentScanner only uses your screen as a light source — nothing is photographed or uploaded, and scans never leave your device.
Which vehicles does it work on?
Any vehicle with glossy painted panels — cars, trucks, motorcycles. Matte or heavily textured finishes reflect poorly and won't show the stripe pattern clearly.
