Identify from a photo: a plant, mushroom, flower, breed or coin
Photograph your find and choose what is in the picture. The AI says what it looks like, shows the features it based this on, and honestly tells you what it could be confused with.
Monstera deliciosa
- Large glossy leaves with slits and holes
- Aerial roots along the stem
- Grows like a vine and reaches for a support
Philodendron and pothos: young monstera leaves are sometimes whole.
What to do nextBright indirect light, watering once the top of the soil dries out, a support for the stem. The sap irritates mucous membranes – keep it away from cats and small children.
Identify the plant in this photo. Name 1–3 possible matches and your confidence in each; list the features in the picture that led you to it, what it could be confused with, and what to do next. If it is a houseplant, briefly cover how to care for it. If you are not sure from the picture, tell me which photo to send next. I will attach the photo.
Sending a photo to the chat is included in the free Starter plan (30 energy units). Without a photo the request is only filled in as text – attach the picture in the chat.
Identify in chatHow to photograph it so the AI can tell
The AI sees only what is in the frame. Five habits that make the “looks like” answer noticeably more confident.
- 1
Whole object and close-up
One shot of the whole thing, a second of a detail: a leaf from underneath, the gills of a mushroom, the mark on a coin.
- 2
Daylight
No flash and no yellow lamp: colour is an important feature, and a flash distorts it.
- 3
A scale beside it
Put a ruler, your palm or a matchbox next to it so the size is clear.
- 4
Several angles
A mushroom – from the top, from below and at the base of the stem; a plant – the stem, a leaf and a flower.
- 5
A few words about the place
Forest or windowsill, the month, the smell, the height. Put it in the “What else is known” field.
Identifying a plant from a photo online: what matters most
For leaves – the shape of the edge, the veins and the down; for flowers – the number of petals and the centre; for mushrooms – everything below the cap. If the AI is unsure, it will ask for one more photo: send it to the same chat and the answer will be refined.
What is this plant: popular questions
Names that often appear on seed packets, in recipes and in tea blends. Press “Ask” and the question goes into the form at the top.
Amaranth
Also called pigweed: an annual plant with bright plume-like flower clusters. The seeds are made into grain and flour, the young leaves are eaten as greens, and there are ornamental varieties.
Actinidia
A vine; kiwi belongs to this genus. In the middle zone people grow the frost-hardy Kolomikta actinidia, with small sweet berries.
Bergamot
A citrus tree; oil from the peel of its fruit is added to black tea. Do not confuse it with a pear variety or with bee balm, which is also called bergamot.
Fennel
An umbellifer, also called “pharmacy dill”. You eat the thickened base and the greens; the taste has a note of anise.
Jujube
Ziziphus, or the Chinese date: a thorny shrub or small tree with fruit that looks like dates.
Chard
Leaf beet: there is no root crop; you eat the leaves and the juicy stalks, sometimes red or yellow.
Where identifying from a photo does not help
Mushrooms for the table
The AI will name the species and its lookalikes, but nobody makes a “safe to eat” decision from a photo. Show the find to a specialist.
People in pictures
We do not search for people in photos or estimate the age or nationality of strangers.
Diagnoses
We will look at spots on leaves, but a rash on skin or a limp in a pet – see a doctor or a vet.
The price of a find
We recognise a coin by its denomination and year, but look up its value in a catalogue: it depends on condition.

Frequently asked questions
How do I identify a plant from a photo online for free?
Choose “Plant”, press “Identify in chat” and attach the picture. On the Starter plan this is free: the AI names the options and the features, and advises on care.
Can I identify a mushroom from a photo and then eat it?
No. Do not eat a mushroom based on the AI’s identification – a mistake can be fatal. The AI can help you find out the species and its poisonous lookalikes, but a specialist should confirm whether it is edible.
How accurate is the AI at identifying from a photo?
It depends on the picture. For a sharp photo with details the answer is usually confident; for a blurred one you get several options. The AI states its confidence level and asks for another frame if it is unsure.
How do I identify a cat or dog breed from a photo?
Choose “Breed” and send a full-length photo and a front view of the face. The AI names similar breeds and their features; only a pedigree confirms the breed.
Can you find a person or estimate their age from a photo?
No. We do not search for people in photos or estimate age or nationality. We identify plants, mushrooms, insects, animal breeds, coins, fonts and objects.
Do I need to sign up to identify from a photo?
You need to sign in to an account, so the picture and the request are saved in the dialogue. The Starter plan is free, and no card is needed for it.
