How tree identification works
1
Photograph a leaf or the bark
Point your phone at a leaf, the bark, or the whole tree — in the yard, on a trail, or at the park — and snap it in the app. A clear close-up of a single leaf works great.
2
Get an instant match
Snappit identifies the tree by photo and shows its name, scientific name, habitat, and fun facts written for young readers.
3
Collect the card
Every tree you identify becomes a collectible card with a rarity tier. Complete tree collections, earn badges, and hunt for rare finds.

More than a tree ID app
Most tree identifiers tell you a name and stop there. Snappit turns identification into a collecting game the whole family plays together.
Works from a leaf or bark
No need to fit the whole tree in frame. A photo of a leaf, the bark, or a branch is usually enough for a confident match.
Collectible tree cards
Each identified tree becomes a Pokémon-style card with rarity tiers from common to legendary. Kids actually want to find one more.
One app for all of nature
No need for a separate app for flowers or birds. Snappit identifies trees, plants, animals, insects, and fungi in a single field guide.
Written for young readers
Tree facts are short, friendly, and safe to read together. Rated ages 4+, with no ads and no chat.

Snappit knows what grows at thousands of parks and green spaces, so you can check what to look for before you go.
