What grass is that? Ask the AI.
Snap a close-up of a few blades — AI names your grass in seconds and shows you how to care for it. Kentucky Bluegrass, Bermuda, Tall Fescue, Zoysia — in plain English, not Poa pratensis. Want the full picture? Browse the lawn grass guide.
Close-ups only — fill the frame with a few blades so the AI can see width, tips and texture. A photo of the whole lawn from standing height won't work.
How it works
Take a close-up photo
Fill the frame with the grass blades. Include a seed head if you can — flowers and seed heads make a huge difference to accuracy. Natural daylight, no flash.
Upload right here — no app needed
Tap 'Snap a Photo' on this page and upload. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Works on iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop.
Get the plain-English name
We say 'Kentucky Bluegrass' — not Poa pratensis — plus the other names it goes by. A confidence score and photo comparison let you check before acting on the result.

Tips for Better Results
- Get close — fill the frame with the grass blades
- Use natural daylight, avoid flash
- If your grass has seed heads, include them in the photo
- Photograph a single grass type, not a mixed area
- Avoid photos of freshly mowed grass — longer blades are easier to identify
Common Lawn Grasses
Each one has a full photo guide — how to identify it, care for it and fix bare spots.
Grass seed to match your result
Once the AI names your grass, overseed with the same species to thicken it up or repair bare spots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download an app?
No download needed — the grass identifier runs in your web browser on iPhone, Android, or any computer. Just open this page and upload a photo. To identify the plant, your photo is sent to our server and to Pl@ntNet, our identification service. See our Privacy Policy for what we keep and for how long.
How does the grass identifier work?
Upload a close-up photo of your grass and our AI, powered by Pl@ntNet, compares the blade shape, texture and color against millions of plant photos to name the species. We match the result to the common lawn grasses in our guide — with care tips and the right seed for bare spots.
How accurate is AI grass identification?
Accuracy depends on photo quality. Close-up photos of grass blades in good lighting typically return results with 50–90% confidence. Including seed heads or flowers greatly improves accuracy. When the AI is unsure, we show the other likely matches so you can compare.
Will it tell me if my "grass" is actually a weed?
Yes. If your photo matches a grassy weed such as crabgrass, dallisgrass or annual bluegrass, we say so and link to our guide on getting rid of it — instead of calling it a lawn grass.
How many grass photos can I identify per day?
You can identify up to 20 plants per day for free. The limit resets every 24 hours. No account required.
