Convert a Chess Screenshot to FEN
Upload a chess screenshot and get the FEN — no manual setup.
Fastest way to analyze a copied screenshot
No FEN. No board setup. No sign up.
Need the FEN for a position you only have as a screenshot? Upload the image and ChessScreenshot reconstructs the board and gives you the FEN to copy — no transcribing the board square by square.
And because the position is already loaded, the best move is one tap away.
Screenshot in, FEN out
Upload a screenshot of the board. The position is reconstructed, and the FEN — the standard text code engines and databases use, like rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1 — is generated for you to copy.
Paste it into any analysis board, database, or engine.
Not a FEN editor — a screenshot reader
This is not a form where you place pieces to build a FEN. It reads the FEN out of a picture. If a piece is off, fix it in the editor first so the FEN is exactly right, then copy it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a chess screenshot to FEN?
Upload the screenshot here. The board is detected, the position is reconstructed, and the FEN appears in the analysis section with a copy button.
Where do I find the FEN in the result?
Open the full analysis section under the result — the FEN of the detected position is there with a one-tap Copy button.
Can I get the best move too?
Yes. The same screenshot gives you the best move on the board, so you can copy the FEN and see the move at once.
Do I have to enter a FEN or set up the board?
No. You upload the picture and the board is reconstructed for you. FEN is available afterwards if you want it, but you never have to type one.
Is it free?
Yes. The board is read and analyzed right in your browser, there is no sign up, and you can do it as many times as you like.
