Identify any plant from a single photo

Upload a clear photo of a leaf, flower, fruit, bark, or the whole plant. Our AI vision model analyses thousands of botanical features — leaf shape, venation, flower morphology, growth habit, color, texture — and matches them against a database of more than 400,000 plant species to return the most likely match with a confidence score and detailed care information.

Yes. Every identification is 100% free with no signup, no credit card, and no daily limit for normal use. We're funded by optional donations and premium plant care plans, not by gating the core experience.

PlantID is built on a state-of-the-art multimodal AI that achieves over 95% top-1 accuracy on common species and 89% on rare or regional plants. For best results, photograph the flower or fruit when present, use good natural light, and fill the frame with the plant.

Yes. PlantID identifies houseplants, wildflowers, weeds, vegetables, herbs, succulents, cacti, ferns, grasses, shrubs, trees, and edible plants. Mushrooms are also identified — but always consult a mycologist before consuming any wild mushroom.

Absolutely. PlantID is a mobile-first web app that works on iPhone, Android, iPad, and any modern browser. Use your camera to snap a photo directly or upload one from your gallery. No app install required.

Yes. Every identification includes a toxicity report for humans, cats, and dogs, sourced from veterinary and botanical databases. If a plant is toxic, you'll see a clear warning.

Common name, full scientific (Latin) name, family and genus, native range, habitat, complete care guide (light, water, soil, temperature, humidity, fertilizer), bloom time, toxicity to pets and people, common uses, fun facts, and similar species you might confuse it with.

No. Photos are sent to our AI service for analysis and are not stored on our servers or used for training. Read our privacy policy for full details.
