Method
How the photo identifiers work
- 01
Upload one photo
A clear photo of the whole subject in daylight. Each tool page says what the photo should show.
- 02
Read what it is
The identifier names it and says why, with the features that tell it apart from its look-alikes.
- 03
See what to do next
Depending on the tool: what is wrong with it, how to look after it, or who to ask before you act.
Limits
What a photo identification cannot promise
Identifications are made by AI from one photo and can be wrong. Never eat, touch or handle anything based on a result alone; for a sting, a bite or a poisoning, call a poison control centre, a doctor or a vet.

FAQ
Questions about the photo identifiers
How accurate is it?
It depends on the photo and the subject. Each match shows how confident it is; low confidence means take another photo.
Is my photo stored?
Location data is removed from every photo before it is processed.
What does a credit buy?
One identification. Free runs are limited per day; credit packs never expire.
Can it tell me if a mushroom or a plant is safe to eat?
No. A photo never decides that something is safe to eat or touch. Ask a local expert, and call a poison control centre if someone has eaten something.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Every identifier runs online in your browser, on a phone or a computer.
