By using What Is This (the website and the iOS app), you agree to these terms.
What Is This identifies objects in photos using AI. The identification is a best-guess based on visual analysis. It is meant as a starting point, not a definitive answer.
We do not guarantee identifications are correct. Do not rely on the result for anything important: do not eat a mushroom because the AI identified it as edible, do not buy or sell a coin based on the value implied by an identification, do not assume an insect is harmless without confirming with a qualified expert.
You are responsible for any decision you make based on a result. We accept no liability for outcomes that follow from using the tool.
Use the tool for legitimate identification. Do not upload illegal content, do not attempt to abuse rate limits, do not scrape the site, and do not use it to identify or surveil people.
The web tool offers a daily number of free identifications without an account. The mobile app offers unlimited identifications with its own pricing. Limits may change without notice.
Site content, design, and branding are owned by Nico Melian. The photos you upload remain yours; we do not claim any rights over them and we do not retain them.
We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
