Frequently asked questions
How to identify wood and trees with the app — and what you get.
How do I identify a type of wood?
Open Wood Mode, then take or upload a photo of the wood. The AI analyses the sample and returns the most likely species along with its grain pattern, hardness and durability. Clear, well-lit close-ups give the best results.
Can the app identify a tree from a leaf, bark or silhouette?
Yes. Tree Mode is built for botanical identification and can recognise trees and plants from a leaf, the bark or the overall silhouette — perfect for hikes, gardening and nature walks.
Is Wood Identifier free?
Yes, the app is free to download and try. An optional Premium subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited scans and the full experience.
How accurate is the AI wood identification?
The app returns the most probable match based on your photo. Accuracy is highest with sharp, well-lit images that clearly show the grain or leaf. For high-value or safety-critical decisions it is meant as guidance, not a replacement for a professional lab analysis.
What information do I get about a wood species?
Each result includes the species and its origin, how the tree grows, the grain pattern, hardness and durability, and typical uses — so you understand your material before you cut, sand or finish it.
Which devices and languages does the app support?
Wood Identifier runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro and requires iOS 17 or later. It is available in nine languages and fully supports VoiceOver.
Does the app collect my data?
No. According to the developer, the app collects no data. Your photos are used to identify the wood or tree, not to track you.
