How to Identify a Flag
Three quick steps to an instant, AI-powered identification.

Our AI reads the color layout, proportions, and central emblem or symbol, comparing against national, regional, and organizational flags.

Photo Quality
- ✓Capture the flag flat and unfurled so the full design shows.
- ✓Get the central emblem in sharp focus.
- ✓Shoot in even light with true colors and no strong shadow.
- ✓Include the whole flag rather than a cropped corner.
Best Practices
- •Photograph a waving flag when it's spread out, not bunched.
- •Note the aspect ratio — some flags are distinctively square or long.
- •Avoid backlight that washes out the colors.
- •For historical flags, capture any date or text if present.
