How it works
From photo to pharmacist in four steps
Plain surface, good light
Step 1
Take a photo
Put the pill on a plain surface in good light and photograph it with the app.
Confidence: High, Medium or Low
Step 2
Check the likely matches
The app compares color, shape, size and any imprint, then ranks likely matches with a confidence score.
Uses, side effects, interactions
Step 3
Read about the medicine
Open a match to see what it's used for, common side effects, interactions and typical dosage.
Only a pharmacist can confirm
Step 4
Confirm with a pharmacist
A pharmacist is the only source of certainty. Show them the result, and the pill, before anyone takes it.
Real situations
When people reach for it
You look after a parent's medicines
Check loose pills against their prescriptions, and set a reminder for each dose so nothing gets doubled up or missed.
Your refill looks different
Pharmacies switch between generic manufacturers, so the same medicine can arrive in a new color or shape. Check what the new pill is likely to be, then confirm the change with your pharmacist.
The pill came from another country
Imprint databases are built around U.S. medicines, so a pill bought abroad may not be listed. A photo gives you somewhere to start before you ask a pharmacist.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is AI Pill ID free?
It's free to download, and your first pill identification is free. After that, you need Premium to keep identifying pills. Premium also unlocks unlimited chats, interaction checks and reminder slots.
How accurate is it?
Every result has a confidence score: High, Medium or Low. When confidence is low, the app says so instead of guessing. Treat any result as a starting point and confirm it with your pharmacist before taking anything.
Can it tell if a pill is fake?
No. The app judges how a pill looks, and counterfeit pills can look exactly like real ones. Only lab testing or a licensed pharmacy can verify what is inside a pill.
Does my data leave my phone?
Only the photo or question you send, while the app works out a response. It is discarded straight afterwards and never stored. Your history, reminders and chats stay on your device.
Does it work offline?
Identifying a pill and asking questions need an internet connection. Your saved history, reminders and notifications work offline.
Is it on iPhone and Android?
Yes, with the same features on both.
