Three tools that work together. Each one built for a different moment
in your plant's life.
Plant Identifier
You have an unknown plant and want to know what it is. Upload a photo, get the exact name from a photo in seconds.
Disease Diagnoser
Leaves turning yellow? Brown spots? Upload a photo and find out exactly what is wrong and how to treat it.
Toxicity Checker
Pets or children nearby? Check whether a plant is toxic to cats, dogs, or humans before bringing it indoors.
People who did not know what plant they had
Real people, real plants, real results. These are the kinds of identifications the tool makes every day.
"I bought this from a garage sale with no label. Turns out it's a Monstera. Knowing the name meant I finally understood why it was dropping leaves. Too much water."
"My kid touched something on our walk and I panicked. Took a photo in seconds. Stinging nettle, not dangerous. I can not describe the relief. This should be on every parent's phone."
"I photograph unknown plants every time I hike. This is the only free identifier I found that works directly in my browser and gives you a confidence score so you know when to double-check."
Can I identify an unknown plant from a photo for free?
Yes, completely free. You get 3 free scans per day with no signup required. The web tool uses the exact same visual recognition AI as our premium mobile app.
Can I use my phone camera to identify any plant?
Yes! You can take a live photo using your smartphone camera directly in the browser, or upload an existing image from your camera roll. Just ensure the plant is well-lit and in focus.
How accurate is plant identification from a photo?
Accuracy on common houseplants, trees, flowers, and weeds is over 90% when you upload a clear picture. Every result includes a confidence score so you know exactly how certain the AI is of the species.
How do I find out what plant this is from a picture?
Simply scroll to the top of this page, click to upload your image, and our AI will instantly analyze the visual features to provide the everyday common name and the exact botanical name.
Is this plant identifier free to use online without an app?
Yes, this tool works entirely in your web browser. You do not need to download an app from the App Store or Google Play to get a confident species match.
Can it identify plants by photo without downloading anything?
Absolutely. Our cloud-based neural network processes your uploaded image securely on our servers, meaning no software downloads or installations are required on your device.
What if the plant identification result is wrong?
If the AI isn't confident in the match, it will provide a lower percentage score rather than guessing blindly. For the best accuracy, try uploading a clearer, closer photo of a single leaf or flower in natural lighting.
You have a plant.
