About Free Plant Identifier
Free Plant Identifier is an independent, browser-based tool that turns a plant photo into a species name plus enough care context to act on it — without an app install, forced signup, or subscription wall.
What we are building
The job is narrow on purpose: upload a clear photo, get a scientific and common name, a confidence score, and practical notes on light, water, soil, and pet safety. We keep the product free for core identification so gardeners, hikers, and houseplant fans can answer "what plant is this?" in the same tab they opened.
How identification works
Pages are server-rendered for speed and crawlability. When you upload a photo, the image is sent to a secure identification API that returns a structured match. Guests keep a local history on the device; signing in syncs that history across devices. Results are informational estimates — always double-check toxicity with a professional when pets or children are involved.
Privacy in short
Photos are processed to run the match. We do not sell uploads. Aggregate popular identifications may appear on the site without exposing who uploaded them. Details live on the Privacy Policy page.
Independence
This site runs at freeplantidentifier.net as its own product and domain. It is not a mirror of another plant-ID brand: branding, analytics, and storage are kept separate on purpose.
