About the AI Object Detector

The AI Object Detector is a cutting-edge tool that brings computer vision directly to your web browser. Using machine learning technology (TensorFlow.js), this tool can "see" and understand the contents of your images. It scans your uploaded photo and identifies common objects like people, cars, pets, furniture, and electronics, drawing bounding boxes around them to show exactly where they are.

This technology, often referred to as "Object Recognition," was previously only available to big tech companies or required powerful, expensive servers. Now, we have optimized it to run efficiently on your own device. Whether you are a developer testing computer vision, a designer looking to analyze photo composition, or just curious about what AI sees in your pictures, this tool provides instant results.

Privacy is our top priority. Because the AI model runs client-side (in your browser), your photos are processed locally on your computer or phone. They are never uploaded to the cloud, stored in a database, or seen by anyone else. You get the power of AI with the security of offline processing.

How it Works

  • Upload an image by dragging it onto the page or using the file browser.
  • The pre-loaded AI model (COCO-SSD) scans the pixel data of your image.
  • It identifies objects it recognizes from a database of 80+ common categories.
  • The tool draws a colored box around each detected object and labels it with the name and a confidence score (percentage).
  • You can view a summary list of all detected items in the sidebar and download the annotated image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What objects can it detect?

The tool uses the COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset. It can recognize over 80 specific classes of objects, including people, bicycles, cars, dogs, cats, bottles, laptops, phones, chairs, and various foods (like apples or pizza). It does not recognize specific faces (facial recognition) or read text.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, it is completely free. There are no limits on how many images you can scan. Since the processing happens on your hardware, we don't have expensive server costs to cover.

Why didn't it detect an object in my photo?

Computer vision is powerful but not perfect. The AI works best on clear, well-lit images where objects are fully visible. If an object is blurry, too small, partially hidden, or viewed from an unusual angle, the AI might miss it or have a low confidence score.

Is my data private?

Yes, 100%. Unlike many other AI tools that send your photos to a remote API, this tool runs the AI model inside your web browser. Your image data never leaves your device.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, it works on modern smartphones. However, object detection is computationally heavy. On older mobile devices, the process might take a few extra seconds compared to a desktop computer.
