Plant & Tree Identifier
Snap or upload a photo of a plant or tree and get the most likely species.
Identifications are AI estimates — always verify before eating, planting, or medicinal use.

The plant identifier matches one photographed feature at a time against the Pl@ntNet species database, so the photo you give it decides the answer.
Fill the frame with a single leaf, one open flower, a fruit or a patch of bark rather than the whole plant. A wide shot of a border or a windowsill usually returns a vague match, because the tool reads shape, edge and texture rather than the scene around the plant.
Daylight in open shade beats direct sun, which blows out pale flowers and buries leaf veins in hard shadow. Hold the camera parallel to the leaf so the whole outline is sharp, and put a hand, a sheet of paper or the ground behind it for a plain background.
Choosing Leaf, Flower, Fruit or Bark tells the tool which characteristics to weight, and Auto is the fallback when you are not sure. Flowers are the most diagnostic feature on most herbaceous plants, while bark and leaf shape carry the work on woody ones — for those, the tree identifier searches the same database.
Every match comes back as a ranked probability with a confidence score, not a determination. Compare the top few candidates against a second source, and photograph a different feature if two species score closely. Never use a photo match to decide whether a plant, berry or mushroom is safe to eat; for houseplants and pets, the plant care guide flags each species as pet-safe or toxic, and a vet is the right call if an animal has already eaten something.
