0 of 10 images
Upload one or more screenshots from a movie, TV series, anime, or drama and our AI will identify it within seconds.
To find the name of a movie you only have an image of, upload the screenshot to WhatMovieIsThis. The AI identifies the title and release year from the visual detail in the frame, then adds the cast, IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores, the trailer and where to stream it. Free, instant, no account required.
A photo of the screen works too
You do not need a clean digital screenshot. A phone photo of a television, a laptop, a cinema screen or even a seat-back display is usually enough. Glare, off-angle framing and moiré patterns degrade the image but rarely defeat the model, because it is looking for people, places and props rather than an exact pixel match.
Everything that comes with the name
The title alone often is not the end of the search. Each result carries the release year to separate remakes from originals, the director and principal cast, genre and runtime, aggregate scores from IMDb, TMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, a synopsis written to avoid spoilers, the official trailer and legal streaming, rental and purchase options for your region.
Older, foreign and obscure films
Coverage is not limited to recent blockbusters. Mid-century Hollywood, European art cinema, Bollywood, Japanese anime, Korean drama and straight-to-streaming productions are all in scope. For genuinely obscure titles the confidence score drops and alternatives are listed, which is a more honest outcome than a confident wrong answer.
Frequently asked questions
How can I find the name of a movie from a picture?
+
Upload the picture to this page. The AI reads the visual detail in the frame and returns the film's name and year, along with cast, ratings and streaming links.
Can I use a photo I took of my TV?
+
Yes. Photos of screens work well as long as the main subject is visible; glare and slight blur usually do not prevent a match.
What if I only half-remember the film instead of having an image?
+
Use the description finder, where you type what you remember about the plot, or the quote finder if you recall a line of dialogue.
Does it cover films from before 2000?
+
Yes — classic and mid-century cinema is well covered, as is international and non-English film.
How accurate is it?
+
Clear frames with a recognisable face, location or piece of text are typically identified correctly on the first attempt. Every answer shows a confidence score and the clues behind it.
