Frequently Asked Questions
Is the leaf identifier free?
Yes. You get one free leaf identification in your browser — no sign-up. For unlimited identifications and full species details, get the free Tree Identifier app.
How should I photograph the leaf?
Lay a single leaf on a plain background and photograph it from directly above in good light, filling most of the frame. Showing the leaf shape, edges, and veins helps the AI most.
Can it identify a tree from just one leaf?
Often yes — leaf shape, margin, and venation are strong identifying features. When a leaf alone is ambiguous, the app lets you combine it with bark and overall shape for a more confident result.

No, the leaf identifier works in your browser. The app adds unlimited scans, full species information, and offline use for when you are out in nature.
