Free Plant Identifier Online by Photo
Choose a photo of a whole plant, leaf or flower to get a tentative plant shortlist. Compare visible leaves, stems, flowers and growth habit; add better views when one image cannot separate similar species.

Visible clues the tool compares
- Leaf arrangement and visible leaf margins
- Flowers, fruit or buds in view
- Stem form and branching
- Whole-plant growth habit
Use the whole plant when possible
A leaf close-up can hide the arrangement of leaves or the plant’s shape. Choose an image that includes the stem and surrounding leaves. Use the dedicated leaf tool below when your only evidence is a detached leaf.
Combine several visible features
The same leaf shape occurs in many plants. Flowers, fruits, leaf arrangement and growth habit can help distinguish lookalikes. The result should identify which of these are present rather than assume a species from a single feature.
Treat care notes as conditional
Care requirements depend on the actual plant and its environment. Confirm the proposed species before changing care substantially. A photograph does not measure soil moisture, light exposure or growing conditions over time.
Identification is separate from safe use
Do not use a photo suggestion to decide whether a plant is edible, medicinal or safe for a person or pet. Keep an uncertain plant away from accidental ingestion and consult appropriate professionals for safety questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tell me whether a plant is safe to eat?
No. It provides tentative identification clues only. Do not use it for edibility, medicinal use or pet-safety decisions.
What happens if the image is unclear?
The result should explain what is missing and suggest a better view. A broad shortlist or an inconclusive result is appropriate when the photo cannot separate lookalikes.
Do I need to use a camera?
No. Choose an existing photo from your device. The tool uses the photo you select and does not require a live camera feed.
Is this photo check free?
A limited daily allowance is available through the web tool. The upload flow shows an allowance or limit message; this is separate from the mobile app.
