Every way to identify a movie or show
Everyone loses a title differently. Sometimes you have a screenshot from Netflix or a frame grabbed from a clip on your feed. Sometimes it's a single line of dialogue stuck in your head, a actor's face you can't place, or nothing more than a vague memory of the plot. This directory collects all 20 of our free AI identification tools in one place, so you can pick the one that matches exactly what you have — not the one that comes closest.
If you have an image, the screenshot tools are the fastest route: they identify a movie from a single frame by reading faces, costumes, locations and colour grading rather than matching pixels like a reverse image search. If you only have words, the quote and description tools reason about dialogue and story instead. There are also dedicated tools for TV shows, anime, K-dramas, cartoons and documentaries, each tuned to that medium's visual language, and a link-based tool that identifies the movie inside a YouTube video without downloading anything.
Every tool runs on the same multimodal AI, is completely free, and needs no account or sign-up. Most identifications come back in a few seconds with the title, year, cast, ratings, trailer and where to stream it — plus a confidence score and a plain-English explanation of the clues, so a wrong answer is never a dead end.
Identify from a screenshot or image
You have a picture — a frame, a poster, a paused screen. These tools read it visually and name the title.
Identify a Movie From a Screenshot
The core tool: upload any frame — from Netflix, a cinema recording, a meme or a friend's TV — and the AI names the film with year, cast, ratings and streaming links. Use this when you have a picture and nothing else.
What Movie Is This Scene From?
For when you remember one specific moment but not the title. Upload a frame of the scene or paste the clip link, and get the source film or episode plus spoiler-light context about where the scene falls in the story.
What Movie Is This From?
The general-purpose identifier for any image you're curious about — a still in a thread, a photo of a screen, a frame in an article. Upload it and get the title with a confidence score and an explanation of the clues used.
What Is the Name of This Movie?
For the classic 'it's on the tip of my tongue' moment. Upload whatever you have — a blurry screenshot, a poster fragment, a paused frame — and the AI works out the name, with alternate candidates when it isn't fully certain.
Reverse Image Search for Movies
Goes beyond classic reverse image search: instead of matching identical pixels, the AI reasons about faces, wardrobe, era and colour grade, so it can identify frames that have never been published online before.
Identify a Movie From a Poster
Snapped a poster on a bus, in a cinema lobby or in a friend's photo? Upload it — even cropped, at an angle or in bad lighting — and get the film, its ratings and where to watch it.
Identify a Movie by an Outfit or Costume
For when the costume is the thing you remember — a dress, a suit, a jacket. Upload a frame showing the outfit and the AI uses wardrobe, era and styling clues to name the movie or show it belongs to.
Identify by show type
Series, anime, K-drama, cartoons and documentaries each have their own visual language — these tools are tuned for it.
What TV Show Is This?
Built for series rather than films. Upload a frame and the AI names the show — and, when the scene is distinctive enough, the likely season and episode — with cast, ratings and streaming options.
What Episode Is This?
When you know the show but not the episode. Upload a screenshot and the AI identifies the series, then pins down the exact season and episode whenever the scene contains clear enough evidence.
What Show Is This?
The broad series identifier: works for sitcoms, prestige drama, reality TV and everything in between. One screenshot is usually enough to name the show; extra frames improve accuracy.
What Anime Is This?
Tuned for anime's visual language — art style, character design and studio fingerprints. Upload a frame from a stream, a clip or a meme and the AI names the series or film, including obscure and older titles.
What K-Drama Is This?
Specialised in Korean drama: actors, filming locations and the polished look of K-drama cinematography. Upload a frame and get the series, the likely episode, and where it's streaming legally.
Find a Cartoon From a Screenshot
For animated series and films — Western cartoons, animated movies and childhood favourites alike. Upload a frame and the AI identifies the show or film, even from a low-quality capture.
Find a Documentary From a Screenshot
Documentaries are hard to search by description, so this tool works visually: upload a frame — an interview setup, archive footage, a title card — and the AI names the documentary or docuseries.
Identify from a video link
No download needed — paste the link and the AI works from the video itself.
Identify from words — quotes, plots and people
No image at all? Describe what you remember — a line, the story, a face — and the AI reasons its way to the title.
Find a Movie by Quote
Type a line of dialogue as best you remember it — misquotes and fragments are fine. The AI matches it to the film or show and tells you who said it and in which scene.
Find a Movie by Dialogue
The dialogue-first search: enter any line you half-remember and the AI identifies the movie, series, anime or K-drama it came from, with the scene context around the quote.
Find a Movie by Description
Describe the plot in your own words — 'a heist inside dreams', 'a woman relives the same day' — no names or details required. The AI reasons about the story and returns the most likely titles with confidence scores.
Identify a Movie by Actor
Name the actor — or describe the face you can't place — and what you remember of the role. The AI narrows down which of their films or shows you're actually thinking of.
Identify a Movie by Character
Remember the character but not the title? Describe or name the character — hero, villain or sidekick — and the AI works backwards to the movie or series they appear in.
Frequently asked questions
Which tool should I use?
Match the tool to what you actually have. A screenshot or any image? Use one of the screenshot tools. Only a memory of a scene or plot? Use Find a Movie by Description. A line of dialogue? Use the quote tools. A YouTube clip? Paste the link. When in doubt, a screenshot gives the strongest signal.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. All 20 tools are free to use, with no account and no sign-up required. Upload or type your query and the identification runs immediately.
Do these work on anime, cartoons and K-dramas?
Yes. There are dedicated tools for anime, K-drama and cartoons, each tuned to that medium's visual style, and the general screenshot tools also handle non-English and subtitled content including Bollywood and European cinema.
Screenshot, quote or description — which gives the most accurate result?
A clear screenshot is the strongest signal because the AI can read faces, costumes, locations and colour grading directly. Quotes work well when the line is distinctive. Plot descriptions are the most forgiving but the least precise, so those results include alternate candidates and confidence scores.
