UPC Scan & Part Out Set

Scan a LEGO set barcode (UPC/EAN) or type the barcode or BrickLink set number (e.g. 75192-1). Live camera needs HTTPS (Cloudflare tunnel). Typing always works.

Point the camera at the box barcode, or type below.

No parts yet

Scan a LEGO® part, minifigure, or set and tap Add to Review List. Your items appear here, ready to upload to your BrickLink store.

1 Manual upload (BrickLink XML)

Generate the BrickLink inventory XML, paste it on BrickLink’s upload page, and your lots are created there.

Add to Bricklink

Save File opens your device’s own save screen — rename the file and choose where it goes (Chrome on Android or a computer). Browsers without that screen download instantly instead. Every saved file is date-and-time stamped (e.g. bricklink-inventory-2026-09-15-1432.xml) so nothing gets overwritten.

Prices in the XML are entered in your store currency. After uploading, review the lots on BrickLink before they go live, then use “Mark all as uploaded” to tidy this list.

2 Direct upload via BrickLink API

Instantly add the review list to your store inventory. You need API credentials from BrickLink — it takes 2 minutes to create them.

Get my API credentials →

Credentials stay in this browser only. BrickLink limits API calls per day — this app uploads one item per call, politely spaced. Your store must be open to list items.

How this app works

  1. Scan — take or import a photo; Brickognize AI identifies the part, minifigure, or set.
  2. Confirm — pick the right match, set color, quantity, price & condition.
  3. Review — build your list of lots to sell.
  4. Upload — push them into your BrickLink store inventory.

Start in Full Screen Browsers require a tap, so BrickWorks will enter full screen on your first tap after opening.

On phones, add BrickWorks to your Home Screen for the most app-like full-screen view without the browser URL bar.

Browse A–Z index Show a letter strip on the right of Browse Catalog lists (By Category and By Color) so long lists can jump A–Z. Off by default.

Support BrickWorks ♥

BrickWorks is free — no subscriptions, no locked features, no ads. If you love the app, and it’s earning money for you, toss a few bricks in the jar. Donations buy tape, test rolls, and the good coffee that ships updates.

Theme

Auto follows your phone or computer's light/dark setting.

Home Layout

Add Item Defaults

Off = BrickLink removes the lot when it sells out. On = keep an empty lot in inventory.

Every auto-filled price is multiplied by this (e.g. 1.25 = +25%) before discounts. 1.00 = no change.

Applied to new Add Item lots. Use 0 to leave Sale % blank.

Applied to new Add Item and Review lots. Use 0 to hide Cost on those pages.

Which BrickLink value auto-fills Price Each when you add an item. 6-Month Avg is the default.

On Add Item, when a part has more than one known color, the color list opens right away — the correct price can’t be pulled until a color is picked. Single-color parts are unaffected (their color is auto-applied instead).

Thumbnail Colors

Customize which colors appear first for part thumbnails across the app (Parts Catalog, Add Item, etc.). If a part doesn't come in your 1st choice, the app checks each preference down to Option 5 (Next Available Color).

Generic thumbs (faster) Browse & Search stay on BrickLink’s plain part photo — no preferred-colour swap. By Color lists still use the colour you picked. Off by default so thumbs match your cascade below.

Custom Images

Take the photo here and BrickWorks crops it square to 600 × 600 — the size BrickLink wants for a listing photo — then saves it to this device so you can attach it on BrickLink’s own page. Nothing to sign in to, nothing to paste.

Saves into your Downloads / Files. On a phone you can also press and hold the picture → Save Image.

Take or choose a photo above — it is resized here before it goes anywhere.

Then, on BrickLink: open your store inventory, find the lot, Edit Lot → Upload Image → Choose File, pick the photo you just saved, and press Submit Changes.

Brickognize Options

The AI that names the part in your photo. It answers with its best guesses and a score for each — these two settings decide how many guesses you see.

50% is Brickognize’s normal bar. Lower it (try 30%) and weaker 2nd and 3rd guesses appear too. Raise it and only confident guesses come back.

Caps the results list — 1 shows only the top guess, 8 shows everything Brickognize usually sends back.

Guess color from photo On = the app pre-selects the color it sees (shown as “Detected from photo”). Off = every part opens with no color chosen. Color Lock still works either way.

How labels print

Silent — print relay. Labels go straight to the printer: no print window, exact size every time, and Print Lock auto-print works fully silently. Set up the print relay below first — after that, leave everything as it is and labels flow through it automatically.

If the relay is ever offline when you print, the label waits in the queue and prints the moment it reconnects — nothing to redo.

On the Add Item page, tap the printer icon to print one label. Press and hold it to lock (auto-print each new lot) or unlock.

Direct printing — the print bridge

Choose what runs the bridge

Why you need a small helper

Labels print straight to the Brother printer with no print window — that is what makes them the right size every time. But a web browser is deliberately locked down on every device: a website cannot open a direct connection to a printer on your Wi‑Fi. The Brother QL listens on port 9100, a raw network socket no browser API can reach, and Safari/Chrome on a phone force printing through AirPrint — which feeds a long blank strip instead of a label.

So a tiny “bridge” program has to run on some device on the same Wi‑Fi as the printer. On Windows or macOS that bridge is the free print relay. On Android or iPhone it runs inside a small app (Termux or Pythonista).

Your print connection

Checking… Looking for your print relay…
————-————-————-————

This device's Print Key ties your labels to your relay — every device that prints to the same printer uses this same key (copy it, or move it with your Settings backup). New key orphans any relay still using the old one, so only tap it if a key leaked.

Adding another phone in this house? Tap Copy Print Key and text the key to them. On their phone, they tap Use shared key here and paste it — from then on all phones in the house print to the same relay.

Compact labels Skip empty fields and print the label shorter — saves tape. Off = every label full height.
Customize Label Sliders for each row's size on the 38 × 16 label — saved on this device, used by the Custom roll above.

Comments / Remarks List

Manage your saved comments. Click the Comments or Remarks header to sort by it — click again to flip A–Z / Z–A. Add a row, type into any cell, and your changes are saved automatically. The switch on the Remarks column turns Remarks on or off: when it is off, the Remarks text is kept here but will not be carried over to the Add Item page.

Discount

Store Inventory

Download your BrickLink store once, then Add Item can fill Remarks and Comments from lots you already have — without a new API call every part. BrickLink cannot search by part number, so this full download is the reliable way.

Manual = only when you tap the button. Once per visit = the first time you open Add Item after loading the app. Once a day = the first Add Item (or this page) after midnight.

Each download uses about 1 BrickLink API call (counted in Settings → BrickLink API). The list stays in this browser’s memory only — it is not saved as a file, and it is not sent anywhere else.

Employee

Lock store features on this device. Employees can still build inventory lists — only the features you lock below ask for this password. No password set = nothing locked. Locks apply each time the app is reopened.

No password set — nothing is locked on this device.

Order Labels

Batch-print a shipping label for each order — on the same label roll as Settings → Printer. Paste your order list below; each block prints as one label.

Each block: a letter (A–Z, then AA, BB, CC…, then AAA, BBB, CCC… on the biggest days), the order number, the weight, the lots / parts line, then the buyer’s name. Blank lines between them don’t matter; paste as many orders as you like. The weight line is read but not printed — each label shows the order number, lots / parts and buyer name.

No orders yet — paste your list above.
