Identify from a photo
Take the photo and WildVisor returns up to five candidate species with common and scientific names, a danger level and a full profile. Identification runs on our servers, so it needs a connection.
WildVisor identifies animals and plants from a photo, warns you when dangerous species have been reported nearby, and turns every sighting into useful citizen-science data.
Free, in 7 languages. Available for Android.
Four things, all built to make a day outdoors safer — and to teach you something along the way.
Take the photo and WildVisor returns up to five candidate species with common and scientific names, a danger level and a full profile. Identification runs on our servers, so it needs a connection.
A map that opens framing the nearest national park, showing the community's sightings. Locations of threatened species are shown blurred.
Tiered warnings when risky sightings have been verified near you, with concrete instructions on what to do — and what not to.
Dials the emergency number of the country you are in and can text your approximate location. Includes poison-control centres for twenty countries.
A nature app can push people to get closer to an animal for the shot. WildVisor is built to do the opposite.
Not a warning — a filter that blocks publication. Keeping your distance protects the animal and the photographer.
Top-risk alerts require verification by the community or by an expert before they go out.
If the system detects risk, the full identification is shown even if you have run out of daily identifications. Safety is not billed.
We would rather explain exactly what happens to your data than promise more than we deliver.
The AI that recognises the species does not run on your phone: the photo is downscaled and sent encrypted to our server, which analyses it and returns the result. Without a connection there is no identification.
Before it leaves the phone, the app strips the location data from the image (the EXIF metadata holding the coordinates). The sighting's location is stored separately and handled carefully.
The app opens straight away. Creating an account is optional and only needed to publish sightings and join the community.
Exact coordinates of vulnerable or endangered species are never published: they are rounded to roughly 11 km so nobody can go looking for them.
